BSNL to Soon Offer 4 Mbps Minimum Download Speed on All its Broadband Plans: Report
7 years ago Admin 1
State-run telecom operator, BSNL, in a bid to increase its broadband consumer base is reportedly planning to offer base speed of 4 Mbps with all of its broadband plans. BSNL is currently India’ second-largest broadband operator, only next to Airtel and is looking to take on the India’s largest telecom operator with its aggressive moves.
According to some reports, BSNL is in final discussion stages of rolling out the change. Currently, the government-owned operator is offering minimum speed of 2 Mbps with all its broadband plans and is soon expected to provide 4 Mbps speed.
BSNL, as of now, is offering broadband service in three different technologies- ADSL, VDSL, and FTTH. And, all the plans will get a base speed of 4 Mbps if the report is believed to be true.
If BSNL makes this move, it will be a masterstroke to all the other broadband operators. On FTTH technology the company offers 100 Mbps speed plan of Rs. 16,999. The telecom operator is the leading broadband in some areas, and the company’s recent BB249 plan has got a massive response ever since its official launch in September 2016. Most of the users in several regions have chosen the BB249 plan because of its offerings.
The BB249 is currently the best broadband plan available as it offers unlimited data per day with 2 Mbps speed up to 1GB and post the 1GB FUP, speeds will be reduced to 1 Mbps. The best part is the plan will be valid for six months.
However, it is not sure whether BSNL is planning to increase the speeds of BB249 to 4 Mbps, but if the company does that, it will surely be a game changer in every aspect. As of now, no estimated date is known.
Are you excited about this move from BSNL? Let us know in the comments section below.

Yes, If BB249 plan gets 4mbps speed under it’s hood, it will start garnering more and more customers. Few days ago, BSNL increased the FUP to 5GB from 1GB of 2MBPS speed, whereas my exchange said, they will offer 10GB FUP per month with 2MBPS then 1MBPS till unlimited usage on BB COMBO 249 plan. I am not sure what’s the fact but if minimum broadband speed by BSNL is called at 4MBPS for all it’s BB connections, I am sure this aggressive move can turn BSNL’s fate only if they guarantee “service uptime”, which is a poor area in their service.
