@ashis
dear manoj your comments on ex telecom minister shri.Dayanithi is not only a learned thief and public servant who has to be investigated and put under imprisonment without any delay.

This is of no use no one is going to buy these plans……everyone is sick of it that bsnl is giving so less amount of data in so high price it is rather good to stick in bsnl broadband and stay at home no use of bsnl 3g i cant believe i am saying this bt aircel would soon overtake bsnl in Raurkela(Odisa).its is a developing city nearly a lot maximumly 90% of the people now are addicted to huge downloads already and aircel 3g is giving them at nearly 500rs for 24gb its amazing but
bsnl 3g is amazing for its speed just they need to low down the prices i know providing unlimited plan previously caused lot off bandwith loss and problems but making it unaffordable for everyone is quite a dumb action so we should better sticf to BSNL EDVO Thats better than bsnl 3g in 95%case.
harish June 8, 2011 at 7:54 pm
hey bsnl,please launch the unlimited plans once again as this will surely facilitate more people to use 3g
Ashish June 8, 2011 at 1:54 pm

Abhijit jiwane June 7, 2011 at 4:31 pm

A telecom minister from Tamil Nadu got the BSNL to connect 323 telephone lines to his home in Chennai. He got all the 323 home lines listed not in his name but in the name of the Chief General Manager BSNL Chennai. These lines virtually constituted a telephone exchange in the minister’s home. It was exclusively used for his family business by laying 3.4 km long secret cable along public roads to connect the lines to the business premises. This had caused huge loss to BSNL. Who was that enterprising minister? The infamous A Raja? No. It is the famous Dayanidhi Maran; Raja’s predecessor. The CBI, which probed the fraud, wrote to the Secretary Telecom on September 9, 2007 recommending action against Maran for the fraud.
Dayanidhi Maran got the BSNL to lay separate and exclusive underground cable from his Boat Club home to the SUN TV office at Anna Arivalayam in Anna Salai and fraudulently linked the 323 home lines to his brother Kalanidhi’s SUN TV network. The first 23 of the 323 lines bore numbers ’24372211′ to ’24372301′ and the next 300 lines bore numbers ’24371500′ to ’24371799′. They were no ordinary telephone lines, but costly ISDN lines, which could carry tons and tons of TV news and programmes faster than satellites to any part of the world. These lines are normally used by medium to large commercial enterprises to meet special needs such as video conferencing, transmission of huge volume of digital data of audio and video – precisely the facility that SUN TV would need for its telecasting operations. For this, the SUN TV would have paid huge cost. But it got it all free, at government’s cost.

if the speed difference is not much than their is no need for adopting 3g data plans. Enjoy the 3G with 2G data plans by selecting 3g network from your device. we can register to 3G network with 2G sim for all operator except Aircel.
Ponniyin Selvan June 1, 2011 at 7:38 pm
I need unlimited plans only with at least with 384 kbps
emad June 1, 2011 at 2:25 pm
@Sanjay Bafna plz clarify that if any 2g subscriber want to use 3g services than what should he have to do? Is there anyway to recharge with 3g data rcv?
emad June 1, 2011 at 2:22 pm
bsnl negotiated Qos is a big pain even for many 3g subscribers facing this issue its totally wrong strategy atleast bsnl should provide solution for those i am not asking 3g speed on 2g sim but care for those who want to use 3g services
bilal kagdi June 1, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Go for Rs 270 plan, Per-month you will get 10 GB. Thats a grt deal ………
hunter June 1, 2011 at 12:24 pm
My Monthly usage is around 4-5 GB and BSNL does not have any plan in that range. The above Plan is just crabs …
arup June 1, 2011 at 10:54 am
now a time when reliance is best in w.b. For a average use.speed is too good.2g plans are also so cheap.
Rakesh June 1, 2011 at 10:32 am
What is the benefit of providing such useless plans? Private operaters are also providing such costly plans and if bsnl is also doing that then how is bsnl better than them? The speed, continuity and services of private operators are far better than that of bsnl and if we have to pay same price for both then why bsnl?
Rakesh June 1, 2011 at 10:24 am
The worst thing about bsnl is that they don’t have any customer support. In case you have any problem you are completely helpless. Bsnl improve your customer support otherwise it is going to be critical for you.
Padhamadarshan June 1, 2011 at 8:08 am
2G sim in 3G network will be more reliable . Edge is not reliable means will not get connection every time or frequent disconnection at certain times .Any ways speed difference not much.
NB: I am using BSNL 2G plans through 3G data card for past eight months and i am happy with that
advitya June 1, 2011 at 6:58 am
yes u require a 3g handset to access 3g services
The speed of data transfer depends on the capaciy of ur network,ur device and the time u r using the service@Venkatram
Kanaga Deepan N June 1, 2011 at 1:43 am
Yes… WTF is this BSNL??? Why not bring the Rs4200/36GB plan pan-India??
vikas619 May 31, 2011 at 11:33 pm
Is there a difference in internet speeds when we use 2G sim in 3G network and 3G sim in 3G network ???? plz tell
Rohan Singh May 31, 2011 at 10:44 pm
This problem will last for another 2 months I think .. Since they have floated tender for 14.4Mbps modem in February. BSNL will also not give cheaper 3G plans for few more months since it’s present infrastructure is not enough to support new customers so more customers will led to congestion and poor internet speed. It has floated tender for 5 million lines, since it’s a psu this process will take time.
arvind May 31, 2011 at 10:27 pm
if bsnl provides 3g based on their actual cost (3g spectrum money paid to govt, capex, opex, bandwidth price etc) the this is the actual tariff plan it should providing. but because of pressure and bribes from private operators, they are not lowering the 3g prices!
rs.100/month – 2gb
rs.200/month – 5gb
rs.300/month – 10gb
rs.400/month – 15gb
rs.500/month – 20gb
rs.600/month – 27gb
rs.700/month – 35gb
rs.800/month – 45gb
rs.900/month – 60gb
rs.999/month – 75gb
..JacK.. May 31, 2011 at 9:03 pm
No good plans…very expensive…with this kind of plans BSNL will never pan India…come with some cheap plans…
Venkatram May 31, 2011 at 8:52 pm
What are the usages of 3G and its advantages. Should one have 3G enables handset? Explain in detail
rajiev May 31, 2011 at 8:48 pm
no one can beat any one , every one is looter!
Arun May 31, 2011 at 7:47 pm
Guys screw this 3G and mobile broadband services. Lets start expecting something from wired broadband. That’s much better regards connectivity,speed and cost(which concerns us the most).
Shiva May 31, 2011 at 7:36 pm
Not beneficial plans. Sab bakkwas
saurabh May 31, 2011 at 7:34 pm

1gb for Rs. 100
2gb for Rs. 200
5gb for Rs. 400
10gb for Rs. 700
15gb for Rs. 1000
vinnu May 31, 2011 at 7:20 pm

max May 31, 2011 at 7:20 pm
2500/6=416.66 rs per month 12/6=2gb per month. why these people not providing simply rs 200 for 1Gb.
Emad May 31, 2011 at 7:03 pm
bsnl is not for new customers
Emad May 31, 2011 at 7:02 pm

Emad May 31, 2011 at 7:00 pm
@som i am also getting good speed in old sim but very low in new sim just try with new sim then reply here
Amit.G May 31, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Docomo has only 1.5million 3G subscribers!!! covered 95+ towns under 3G.
som May 31, 2011 at 5:54 pm
i disagree with the 1st poster.for me the speed varies between 60-180kBps depending on the time of the day.though i want to check this data recharge as well but problem with BSNL is that their own offices are not aware of these changes.few days back went to BSNL,#barrackpore office to enquire about the availability of 14 mbps modem,they looked at me funnily as if i was drunk at noon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mahmood Junaid May 31, 2011 at 5:52 pm
for karnataka circle 36gb at 4200rs for 180days and for all other circle just 30gb at 5000rs for 180days… wot the hell is this???
renjucool May 31, 2011 at 5:32 pm
I’m getting 400kbps download speed for BSNL in Chennai(KK Nagar,BTS near 200 meters)
Abhijit May 31, 2011 at 5:13 pm
Now a days BSNL 3G speed is quite slow.. Download speed never goes beyond 140KBps…
PD May 31, 2011 at 4:45 pm
One has to do little arithmetic to choose an option for 3g. Well why not a simple 2g plan and cheap and economical too for aam admi, for 3g is not present everywhere…!
hardeep May 31, 2011 at 4:31 pm
very nice!
karann May 31, 2011 at 4:25 pm
Bekaar
Parminder Singh May 31, 2011 at 4:25 pm
About Rs 200 per gb. it is still expensive. Rs 100 per GB is enough.
Emad May 31, 2011 at 4:23 pm
nothing to be excited with bsnl 3G EDGE is better than this so called 3g
badly capped bsnl 3g only 128 kbps speed is possible on new 3g connections dont buy bsnl no one is able to listen customers bsn techeis close complaints without solving. Corrupt bsnl alchoholists have no clue no idea except hukka chilam they only want bribes from private operators to kill bsnl really shame on such scenario
