Thread: Awareness of Free Trail Plan

Calcutta Telephones providing free trail plan for new broadband user.
condition

• This offer is available for those user who is first time applying for BB in his/her telephone number.
  Offer
  15 days trail BB after the day of activation or account creation.
  one confusing statement is present in Calcutta Telephone website
  
  “ Free trial Plan’ for 15 days from the date of account creation in the start up plan 250 with a speed up to 2 Mbps and unlimited download for one time only against a Telephone number where Broadband was not provided earlier
  Confusion is if account created in 250 plan then any one will get 0.5 GB in 15 days then what's meaning of "unlimited download" ?
  I have some bad experience in year 2006 of free trail BB offer for 2 month and not only me lot of user face such problem in that particular time.So i will recommend
  please avoid such offer or verify such offer thousands time
  
  read it carefully
  
  FREE Trial Plan of Broadband Service
  

Thanks for the info. It is confusing indeed.

They had did something similar for Chennai circle too last year. The upload/download limit will be 0.5GB only @ 2mbps. And by UL download, i think they are implying we can use the 0.5GB at a stretch.

I don't understand the plan at all. Though BSNL kolkatta is the best in all BSNL circles, this scheme is not clear to me. Anyway I cannot use this as I am in a different circle.

would it be
15 days from the date of application OR
15 days from the date of allocating userID OR
15 days from the date of providing CPE

Please checkout this post http://www.indiabroadband.net/bsnl-b...html#post99914 (15 days free trail of broadband for bsnl customers)

No no. That thread was closed because totallyfandu was saying that there isnt any limit on the downloads, but j4k was stating there is indeed a limit ie 0.5GB, just like it is given in the link which u had posted in the first post.

Sorry. I did not understand the previous post.

BTW checkout the official BSNL notice Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd- Latest News

The offer has been in existence for sometime, but it is getting renewed in certain circles only.

Few days back, I saw a full page ad on last from BSNL-Rajasthan in a local daily stating about this 15 days trial offer!

The most shocking part was written in big letter

Take a free trial of bsnl Broaband,use as much as you want. if you like our service choose appropriate plan

Plenty will fall for the download as much as u want, without realizing that download-as-much-as-u-want is actually 0.5GB and the rest of the data will be billed.

BSNL(Calcutta telephones) clear it in today in Bengali newspaper that

"first 15 days unlimited download in free trail BB at @ 2mbps speed and also type-I modem will be rent free for one year"
I think confusion is little clear now
Point
1.By default BSNL will create account in Home 250 plan that mean after the trail period user is automatically shifted in H 250 plan
2.Remember this free offer will be start from the day of account created if any one get 2-3 days later the password & userid that mean he/she will loss couple of days from trail period.

But again i will recommend anyone please avoid such offer this type of offer always bcome critical

I think, They are offering Unlimited Downloads for period of 15days

Seems like they have edited the original matter to omit confusion..

Am speaking of Calcutta Telephones

All said and done, there is a lot of confusion.

Calcutta telephone website says unlimited download. At some places, I read that the download is limited to 0.5 GB.

Best to stay away from confusion.
