BSNL Fibre Basic broadband plan

TelecomTalk has reported that BSNL will offer 40Mbps speed for the 3.3TB data but post exhausting the data, the speed will be reduced to 4Mbps. The telecom network is offering unlimited voice calling to any network with this plan. Additionally. customers can also get a 90 percent discount up to Rs 500 for the first month of the broadband plan. These are the benefits that tag alongside the Fibre Basic broadband plan.

There is also the Rs 449 broadband plan, which BSNL is calling Fibre Basic Neo. The plan brings down the speed to 30Mbps from 40Mbps. However, the data limit remains the same so customers will still get up to 3.3TB and the speed will come down to 4Mbps after exhausting the data speed. The 90 percent discount up to Rs 500 for the first bill is applicable to this plan as well.

Furthermore, the report says that BSNL will soon discontinue the Rs 275 and Rs 775 broadband plans, which were launched in August this year. November 15th is said to be the last date for these two plans. In all likelihood, customers who have already subscribed to these plans should be able to continue them.
