kuch nahi hai bhaiyo bsnl wale pagal banane ki kosis kar rahe hai.
Vipul March 31, 2011 at 5:41 pm
This Plan is Very Costly. bsnl is making fool customers. so please take care.
sahil February 10, 2011 at 1:18 pm
Does anyone knows here that BSNL purchases the international bandwidth at the price of Rs. 3/per GB and we all are able to see what it tries to make out when it offers limited plans at such dumb per MB rates.
Same is the situation with all other pvt. BB operators specially those 3 which have their own submarine cables. Their per GB bandwidth charges are still more less than what BSNL pays.
Samit February 10, 2011 at 1:02 pm
I agree. This pricing is self defeating. Broadband would not be used by e-mail only mild surfing kind of users. 1GB use should then cost at 1024 bucks. A broadband user would download at bare minimum 5GB of data. So this is 1820 bucks. 2Mbps plans with 15GB data download are available at less than half the price. There doesn’t seem a bid to “empower” anyone. @som
Prince February 9, 2011 at 10:28 pm
BSNL’s this plan is very costly…. as at present bsnl giving one GB in just Rs 250 in starter pack of broadband… and in zero rental plan if person downloads upto 1 Gb i.e. 1024Mb, then he has to pay Rs. 1024 for that… this plan would be suitable for customers if its usage charges would have been around 30p/MB upto 1GB and may be 20p/MB after 1GB…
i think at present this plan is only suitable for those customers who planning to go for vacation for one or two months….
som February 9, 2011 at 8:11 pm
this increases the diversity.BSNL is going in the right direction.though i will not use this.
Jayakrishnan February 9, 2011 at 5:07 pm
Dear Mr Vijay
I do not understand who is the “low users”. Broadband is not used for vewing mails only. If a person avails broadband connection in his home, the user will definitely use it for downloading some data and his kids may use it for study purpose. Broadband is not meant for using as an antique show-piece. This offer of BSNL is a pure day-light cheating. Well, you may (rightly PD said) refer the comments of all others, make a self calculation and satisfy yourself.
PD February 9, 2011 at 4:50 pm
@vijay
The rent part itself is considerable – Can u specify the category of low end users ? Kisans, hamalis, pheriwala, etc. etc. ? A major chunk of users are students and other lots – searchers – for job, for marriage, for project materials (images, graphs etc.) – Yeh kutch Hajaam nehi hothey, sahibji ! Well those who wants it take it !
Keshav Jha February 9, 2011 at 4:36 pm
@karann
But this is zero rental plan, specially for those who already have landline.
vijay February 9, 2011 at 4:26 pm
@Jayakrishnan
@PD
For 500 plan 1.5 gb free and Rs.0.20 per mb after free usage , 2am to 8 am free and no rent for telephone but for bb zero plan ,up to 1 gb u will be charged re 1/mb beyond that rs.0.20 per mb no free usage,teleph rent applicable.this new plan is suitable for low users.
PD February 9, 2011 at 3:32 pm
Not only u, pl. read all the postings ! I am sure even the Marketing Executives of BSNL too may not understand what they are up to and what to do ? Some how they want to wind up the PSUs. Penny wise and Pound foolish …..!
Read what is written on the image above ! “Gaon ki tharakki karega, to desh aage badeyga !” “Sab sirphire hai !
Jayakrishnan February 9, 2011 at 3:17 pm
Now, with Rs.500 home plan, one gets 1.5Gb free download and after that Rs.0.90/MB and free download from 2 AM to 8 AM. I could not understand what is new in this offer of free rentals. It says Re.1/MB upto 1 Gb and after that 20 paise per MB. I am poor in maths. Can anyone make me understand this new gimmick of BSNL ?
Bharat February 9, 2011 at 3:03 pm
It is very difficult to afford even for low end users, i guess there is no point in waive off the charges and increase the usage cost, unlimited will worth much better than this plan..
Abhi February 9, 2011 at 2:28 pm
BSNL should spread their NETWORK in Delhi also..
Josh February 9, 2011 at 12:32 pm
Amazed to see such offer by BSNL. As others said, this plan will not be used by any others.
Better give some night unlimited plans which is quite reasonable.
Aman February 9, 2011 at 11:02 am
this would have been a good plan 3 years ago.
MTNL gives better plans.. i use a 799 pm unlimited plan at 784Kbps.. max download speed goes upto 130-150kbps on torrents..
Bala February 9, 2011 at 10:54 am
@Sam
it’s Gr8 Kapil sibal brainless and useless plan…
Sam February 9, 2011 at 10:38 am
useless stuff by bsnl
Devraj February 9, 2011 at 10:06 am
It is costly because Rs1000 for a GB, No night free, Low speed will not bring much customer. If they want to win market they should make Rs 0.5 per MB till 1 GB and should give high speed
Mridul February 9, 2011 at 9:57 am
Use less plan…….
I totally agree with Raghu
Suppose usage of customer 1 GB.
1GB=1024 MB
1MB = 1 Rs.
Bill will be 1024+Service Tax.
Arun February 9, 2011 at 6:47 am
I don’t think there would be any customer willing to use this plan.
BSNL should think once more about this.
Raghu February 8, 2011 at 11:21 pm
highly unacceptable offer by BSNL.better had the offer with some limited usage i.e 1 -2 GB with some rental say rs 100 and after that if they charge it will be good for people as otherwise it is just waste.
karann February 8, 2011 at 11:04 pm
@Keshav Jha
plan should be like this:-
monthly rental 99
10p/mb upto 1 gb and thereafter 50p/mb
this plan is applicable only to low end users so that they dont surf or download more beyond 1-2 gb
Hafeez Mohd February 8, 2011 at 10:31 pm
This scheme is very expensive. There is no Night unlimited as well.
BSNL would have charged Rs.200/month per 1 GB and charge thereafter.
This would benefit lower usage customer and better pricing.
Keshav Jha February 8, 2011 at 9:14 pm
Not a good plan. Charge should be 50p/MB upto 1 GB & then 10p/MB.
hariprasad February 8, 2011 at 9:08 pm
very costly paln…village people who even doesnt know what is mb will end up by getting huge bill from bsnl…
per mb cost should be only 20ps/mb…
Keshav Jha February 8, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Nice joke. Pahle free fir charge?
PD February 8, 2011 at 8:32 pm
BSNL is being systematically Torpedoed !!!
Sathish February 8, 2011 at 8:25 pm
Well, without improving the infra they launch all sort of schemes..customers might end up getting a little over dialup speed!
kris February 8, 2011 at 8:24 pm
@Dinesh
yes u r right! BSNL Babus dont understand business.
Zaf February 8, 2011 at 7:59 pm
Something that we can learn from BSNL.
give connectivity free of cost and recover connection charge in long run.
.
but at such speed that it wouldn’t be hard recover the connection charge
Cant they do something similar for 3g too.
Saurabh February 8, 2011 at 7:55 pm
Which idiot had designed this plan he dont even have basic knowledge of maths that how much it cost
Arindam February 8, 2011 at 7:38 pm
disapointig. . .
gaangygy February 8, 2011 at 7:38 pm
BSNL thinks people fools………
thrash the BSNL sales/marketing idiots,
Dinesh February 8, 2011 at 7:14 pm
Re.1/MB = Rs.1024/GB (1GB = 1024MB). will any person spend Rs.1000 for 1GB @ 256 kbps when he can get 3-6GB for Rs.99 with GPRS/EDGE @ 250-300 kbps? BSNL should instead provide 3GB/month for Rs.99. Those who want to install a broadband can easily afford Rs.99 per month (even in rural areas)!
Else zero rental at 10P/MB (=Rs.100/GB) would have been a fair price! So BSNL marketing/sales idiots please get your consumer insight and strategy right!!!
Webly February 8, 2011 at 7:06 pm
The bills will be high. Not a good one.
ANIRBAN February 8, 2011 at 6:56 pm
Not a good offer.
Abhijit February 8, 2011 at 6:51 pm
yes very well said at least 500MB should be free in it.. then if low end users access 600MB data monthly.. then bill amount will be of Rs.100+taxes only..
Abhijit February 8, 2011 at 6:48 pm
It is just good that it is Zero rental but not best as if somebody uses 600MB then bill will be generated 1MB*600MB= Rs.600+taxes… So quite expensive ….
But Home Combo C+ plan gives 2.5GB free+250 calls free(no rental for landline)and also (Night unlimited free also available) .. So here also 600+taxes.. so better to avail 2.5GB data plan free and 250calls free in just 600/month only!!
A Mohapatra February 8, 2011 at 6:42 pm
BSNL could have done better by giving atleast 0.5 Mbps.
A Mohapatra February 8, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Good for one who rarely but does need net connectivity. But indeed good move in overall, by BSNL. Maximum varieties of plans should be offered by ISPs so that there is a tailor made and apt plan for any person who wants to surf the web at exactly the size of his pocket.
Gaurav February 8, 2011 at 6:30 pm
I have applied for BSNL BB from last 1 week but non of the executive wants to come to my place and do the feasibility study.
If this is the case then even if zero rental plans are launched its of no use to attract people.
Manikandan February 8, 2011 at 6:25 pm
late but good move by BSNL…
