BSNL Rs 999 and Rs 1,499 Broadband Plans: Benefits Detailed
Priced at Rs 999, the BSNL Broadband plan offers 200 Mbps speeds up to 3.3TB every month. After the FUP limit, BSNL users can browse unlimited data at 2 Mbps speeds. The Rs 1,499 Bharat Fiber plan comes with 300 Mbps speeds up to the same 3.3TB FUP limit. The broadband plans also offer unlimited voice calling benefit. The key differentiator is the Disney+ Hotstar Premium subscription that’s bundled at no extra cost. We have seen ISPs like Airtel Xstream Fiber and JioFiber offering a lot of OTT subscriptions with broadband plans, but BSNL is the only ISP that’s providing Disney+ Hotstar Premium membership. Other ISPs provide Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription that costs just Rs 399 for one year. For those who are unaware, Disney+ Hotstar Premium costs Rs 1,499 for one year and Rs 299 for one month. The remaining affordable BSNL Broadband plans of Rs 449, Rs 599 and Rs 799 do not offer any such subscription benefit. That said, no other Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the industry is offering OTT subscriptions with broadband plans below Rs 799, so it is a sign of relief for BSNL. As for the speeds, the Rs 449 plan allows users to browse the internet at 30 Mbps, followed by the Rs 599 plan with 60 Mbps speeds and the Rs 799 plan with 100 Mbps speeds. Earlier this month, BSNL revised its broadband plans across the country to offer 300 Mbps speeds with plans priced above Rs 2,000. It is good to see BSNL making some major changes in the broadband segment as the market leader is facing immense pressure from private operators who are constantly delivering better speeds and affordable plans.
