For last 2 months, we were really excited to see bandwidth upgrade on BSNL’s wired ADSL broadband plans.
But it is pity that BSNL fails (as usual) to feel the pulse of the subscribers.They increased the bandwidth on selected plans ( Combo625 & 750UL ) but upto a certain usage, leaving the subscribers in a mourning state.
In Andra Pradesh BSNL has lost many broadband customers due to ultra high speed fibre based broadband offering by Beam Telecom.
Beam packages are made very affordable to both home and office users.
Details of revised broadband plans
| Rental per month | Broadband usage | Free Calls | |
| Plan 1 | Rs 625 | 4GB upto 512kbps, then 256kbps UL | 100 |
| Plan 2 | Rs 750 | 6 GB upto 1Mbps, then 512kbps UL | nil |
The revision has been confirmed from Hyderabad Telecom district, Andra Pradesh Circle, BSNL.
We simply do not understand BSNL’s marketing policy, it would be great if BSNL gives the double bandwidth during night hours as MTNL is also offering such plans. We expect with 4G roll out many users will move out from BSNL broadband.

Kiran Reddy December 20, 2011 at 11:07 pm
I pity BSNL. I have moved from BSNL to Beam 6 months back and i am satisfied with Beam Telecom.
BSNL please wake or else you will lose existing customers as well!!
Anand Kumar December 20, 2011 at 9:33 pm
BSNL Always sucks more money then MTNL. If I would have option to choose between these two, I will choose MTNL alwaays. Almost all charges in MTNL is less than BSNL. At least in Broadband!!
The limit 4GB and 6GB is also less.
ahmed farooqi December 20, 2011 at 8:24 pm
why this plans i dont think it is useful of any customer any how very slow start up , slow booting process of modems, websites, and customer care support,
bsnl admin keep this plans in urs hone and see what happens
this time for 3g network service so update the speed breaker , other wise will lose customer , i dislike bsnl service , n i give 5stars to our local beam fiber network ,
mashaallah very nice service ,support,network,price,etc
u bsnl just think for monthly fixed income but not about to upgrade urs all serives in time to time
god bless u to have very soon changes in plans and prices

To All,
I would like to inform you that being a representative of BSNL Young Executive forum, BSNL is great organization for the nation but it’s being ruined by the bureaucrats despite being a PSU until today there is no significant changes in the HR policies especially employing & promoting the best talent within the organization. Out of 55K Executives only 20% are the professionally qualified as engineers and accounts Officers most of them working for past 10 years in the bottom of pyramid. Several times we demanded performance based work culture from Govt, management for delightful services, but both turned deaf to our pleas. Hence no accountability and responsibility; now as reward for the sluggish and pathetic service offered to the customers now BSNL Management demanded 18000 Crores bailout for VRS from Govt (hard earned money of general public). With full grace Govt has readily accepted VRS proposal from bureaucrats and agrees to pay from the tax payer’s money. Without realizing the mistakes it committed for past 10 years for not seeking original reasons for the losses incurred in BSNL. Now each slothful employee will get lakhs of rupees as compensation for VRS precisely this is called “attempting impossibilities”. No one knows whether BSNL will turn around aftermath of VRS. Only the general public needs to understand who their tax money going into the bottom less pits.
Sudhakar December 20, 2011 at 6:04 pm
To dhruv,
I agree that customer care is worst in BSNL. There is not even 24 hours customer care. The 1500 is run by 3rd party outsourcing and not by BSNL. So BSNL does not provide 24 hours problem recording and rectification.
.
BSNL’s working hours in my town is from 10 AM to 5 PM (including 1 hour lunch) !!!!. Then means there are only 6 working hours remaining. ALL BSNL OFFICIALS do not work even for those 6 hours. If you call a higher official of your exchange at 11 AM, no one will attend. If you call even at 04:45 PM, no one will attend. So BSNL must increase the working duration so that it should be 8 hours (working) + 1 hour for lunch. Total 9 hours. Then working hours should be from 9 AM to 6 PM.
.
The above is the only reason (officials not even working properly) for BSNL running in loss. BSNL should throw out such officials and appoint EFFICIENT working people.
dhruv December 20, 2011 at 1:42 pm
thats rite,
but if beam can take bandwidth from BSNL or VSNL and sell us at almost less then half rate, then why cant BSNL??
you already told that bsnl has vast service area, so they can take advantage of whole country.
they have such technology that they can easily give 10mbps speed, but they lacks good supervisor !! (i mean General Manager)
Sean December 20, 2011 at 1:35 pm
@Sudhakar
Yes, Beam broadband has FUP of 30GB on 10Mbps plan, but post FUP speed is 2Mbps!! Which is 4 times the post FUP of BSNL !!
Sam December 20, 2011 at 10:31 am
Yesterday I called the Bsnl customer care. But they told me that they have no idea about this plan. Can anyone tell me clearly when this plan will be available..
bharathkumara December 20, 2011 at 9:15 am
sorry… i cant able to recognize this tariff plans.. not good to market.. its already started compitation between bsnl and other private telecom.. in our area only bsnl have wired network.. but airtel also not present. in this area all are preffered bsnl… not other operator is working here.
Sudhakar December 20, 2011 at 6:43 am
To all :
Beam broadband has FUP on all unlimited plans. I think 10 Mbps plan has 30GB FUP. Call customer care before posting. Do not boast much about beam which is a small company serving only a city. Think about BSNL which even serves remote areas. I am not talking in favour of BSNL, but telling the fact.
Sudhakar December 20, 2011 at 6:41 am
First of all each and every operator must have the capability to supply 2 connections to each Indian. Even if some people do not take broadband, it can be kept on reserve. Then only the companies can manage bandwidth effectively.
Sudhakar December 20, 2011 at 6:37 am
To Sumanta,
Well said.
To all :
Even if BSNL does not upgrade the speed (to acceptable level) and has worst customer care, the broadband service has 99% uptime (except in highway areas where the highway men will cut the cable frequently) compared to private operators. Atleast we should be happy for this. What to do?. It is all our fate to live in this TECHNOLOGICALLY SLUM COUNTRY (india).
viv December 19, 2011 at 9:36 pm
u see beam telecoms performance when their subscriber base goes up.Its like a road mate,when the traffic goes up the jamming takes place.Beam will blind u now with their offers and then see as time goes on
Pankaj December 19, 2011 at 8:51 pm
This offer is not even pan india! Waste=bsnl broadband hate it
See beam broadband 10mbps for 550 upto 8gb what a plan with awesome speed for normal user.wd less electric bills ..coz of fast downloadin
ashish rana December 19, 2011 at 8:42 pm
huh only hyderabad………..
kankan December 19, 2011 at 8:03 pm
This is trick played by many higher officials to eat money in the name of up gradation, if BSNL suddenly up grade its speed their officer lost the chance of making money.
HaHaHa Hats off to BSNL service…………..
Sam December 19, 2011 at 4:04 pm
anyone getting higher speed ??
mandy December 19, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Great service at cheapest price.
Foxy December 19, 2011 at 3:18 pm
KICK BSNL,
LEARN FROM MTNL,
BK December 19, 2011 at 2:54 pm
BSNL has just reminded us that we still live in the third world, and that high speed internet is still a dream.
Sam December 19, 2011 at 2:24 pm
I cannot see any broadband plan up gradation in bsnl website..
DB December 19, 2011 at 2:17 pm
@dritesh007

MIHIR December 19, 2011 at 1:45 pm
AS I FEEL THAT HERE SHOULD BE PLAN OF 150Kbs IN RS 30O OR 350 CAUSE I MEAN WE FIND GPRS SPED OF OTHER OPERATOR SOME WAHT OK wE GET 20 TO 35kbs so 150 will be much good then gprs so in this way i think both we be in benefit i mean customer and service provider ‘
also i am usng reliance broad band net that to wire less its gives best sped in rs 400 5 gb day time usa and 10 gb at night with speed of 150kBS think what is a good for customer i dont know till what time we can get this best service of rilance in his current rates but at present this plan is rocking”"
Leo December 19, 2011 at 1:40 pm
All Broadband users are really looking for a change in the internet speeds. It would be better BSNL comes up with a fiber base broadband service on PAN India basis. That will give all broadband customers some relief.
Leo December 19, 2011 at 1:33 pm
All Broadband users are really looking for a change.As TT had shared i think itz high time for someone like Beam to enter into the market here in Chennai.
sAm December 19, 2011 at 12:46 pm
I hope All Broadband users are really looking for a change.As TT had shared i think itz high time for someone like Beam to enter into the market here in Kolkata too.
BSNL as a company is a total scrap one.They daoesn’t care at all to itz customers who is goin to look after them !!
Night U/L starts from night 2am and lasts upto 8am.Is it worth substance????
I don’t think there is any reason BSNL will get lost from d market if they modify this timing .
Hope something turnaround to come into the market that make BSNL Broadband business into present day Landphone business !!
Raghu December 19, 2011 at 12:26 pm
really bad offer. Why they are not learning from Pvt Operators BSNL i really do not understand. they are not at all bothered for existing customers. really bad strategy by BSNL.
Arun December 19, 2011 at 12:11 pm
What a waste…
S.Sudhakar December 19, 2011 at 12:05 pm
Waste. No use of upgrading the speed. What about BBG Combo ULD 850 plan which gives 1 Mbps speed upto 8 GB and 256 Kbps after that along with 350 free calls?.
I use upto 45 GB per month (peak) or 30 GB (medium) or 20 GB (normal usage). So no use for me and all those who cross 6 GB in a month.
ved December 19, 2011 at 10:59 am
waiting for 4G then say bye to BSNL broadband ………
Pratik December 19, 2011 at 10:47 am
BSNL is getting ready for divestement to some private telco.group.
I am dead sure that , they are doing all this stupid activities to reduce valuation of company so it can be sold off to some private company at lower value.
arun December 19, 2011 at 10:41 am
Is this pan india? i did not see any speed increase or is it from 1st jan?
Sumanta December 19, 2011 at 10:36 am
I think BSNL people basically promoting Airtel and other corporate broadband services. It’s December 2011 still people are using 512 Kbps/750Rs in wired broadband. 3G wireless broadband is only for corporate people, not for every one as it’s very expensive(1MB/1Rs).
Some people are thinking about low cost 4G in India !!!! Shame on BSNL (:
Sam December 19, 2011 at 10:35 am
this applicable for all states??
