Thread: BSNL reduces post-paid broadband tariff by up to 75%

Initiating a price war in the broadband segment, state-run BSNL on Monday announced a reduction in post-paid broadband tariffs by up to 75 per cent, a move that may force private players to follow suite.

BSNL offers tariff in two categories — home users and general users. Under both categories, tariffs are available in limited and unlimited downloads.

To give a push to its broadband business, BSNL has reformulated its existing post-paid broadband tariff structure, it said in a statement.

The company has announced new broadband tariff plan for business and corporate customers. This new plan launched in the name of ‘BBG COMBO ULD 850’ will provide unlimited download to business customers at a download speed of 1 mega byte per second (mbps) up to 8 GB and 256 kilo byte per second (kbps) thereafter.

The company has also upgraded download speed in various post-paid plans by 50 per cent, besides increasing free download limit under its various tariff plans up from 10 GB to 250 GB.

The company announced an increase in free calls limit for its combo plan. Free calls have been doubled from 250 to 500, 300 to 500 and 500 to 1000 under different categories.

In addition to this, the company has introduced free calls facility in four combo packages. The number of free calls range between 500 to 2000.

,

Many tariff plans, have zero monthly telephone rent, and BSNL may offer telephone connection optional, if you take a new Broadband connection !!!

Hey guys,

I called BSNL and they told me that the speed for plans will remain the same but only the charges for downloading beyond monthly limit will go down. Another said that only new subscribers will get the benefit of new rates.

I have 2 mbps plan of Rs 1350. What should be my speed now? Will it remain the same?

Thanks so much.

BBG Combo ULD 1350 has 4 Mbps upto 20 GB, 512 Kbps beyond 20 GB . If you are getting lower speed, check with SDE of your exchange.

There are no change, plan rate, speed or tariff. The 75% off is like 60 paise per extra MB reduced to 20 paise and like that.
