Bharti sparks a broadband battle- Hindustan Times

Internet services provider Bharti Airtel is all set to launch a price war in the broadband segment, with plans to offer high bandwidth at low prices.



Its main competitors – the government-owned Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) have said that they would offer services at lower than Bharti prices.


“We are bringing down prices of 1 Mbps broadband speed to Rs 1,699 per month from Rs 2,999 per month,” said K Srinivas, joint president, telemedia services, Bharti Airtel. This is a 43 per cent cut.



The company is also reducing charges for 512 kbps connection by 31 per cent from Rs 1,599 to Rs 1,099 a month. Bharti Airtel has about 12.5 lakh broadband subscribers.


“If our private competition reduces tariff, then we will certainly react and have a look at our tariff,” said MTNL director (technical) Kuldeep Singh. “We are always more competitive than our competitors.”


The company is planning to offer speeds up to 8 Mbps for home users. Currently, MTNL offers broadband speed up to 2 Mbps.
BSNL is also set to lower its tariff. “New plans are being finalised and we will soon announce them,” said a BSNL official who did not want to be identified. “Our plans will be much lower than our competitors.”


BSNL has about 40 lakh broadband subscribers. The company plans to add a broadband capacity of another 50 lakh subscribers. Reliance Communications, another broadband service provider did not comment to HT’s queries.

Ideal scenario for me would be 2Mbps ul for current 1350ul.

or if not.. current 500 home night unlimited plan should be given @ 250 rupees rental per month.. :wink:

I want NU in my UL 750.

I want a 700( including tax & 100 calls free) of 512mbps unlimited. It is feasible for company & they can profit on it.
