BSNL Bharat Fiber Now Has Over 1 Million Subscribers

Government-owned BSNL announced that its Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) service- Bharat Fiber now has over one million subscribers across the country. BSNL introduced Bharat Fiber service a couple of years ago and the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is currently offering a wide range of plans under the service. BSNL has been the leader in the wired broadband segment for several years and it currently has over 38% market share in the segment, according to Trai data released yesterday. BSNL’s broadband speeds were often limited to the lower end of the spectrum, but that has changed in recent times as the ISP even started providing 300 Mbps speeds in select cities.

BSNL Bharat Fiber: What Exactly Is It?

Similar to JioFiber and Airtel Xstream Fiber, BSNL also named its FTTH wired broadband service as Bharat Fiber. Under this brand, BSNL offers competitive broadband plans. For example, BSNL has been offering an Rs 849 broadband plan with 50 Mbps speeds and 600GB FUP limit under Bharat Fiber service. At the same time, it also has basic broadband plans with less than 50 Mbps speeds and not-to-so impressive FUP limits. The telco is generating decent reception from the customers for Bharat Fiber service. Overall, BSNL has 7.80 million broadband customers at the end of September 2020.

A recent report said that BSNL added 88,779 new customers in October 2020, thanks to the launch of affordable Bharat Fiber plans like Rs 449, Rs 599, Rs 799, Rs 999 and Rs 1,499. These broadband plans are on-par with the benefits offered by private ISPs like JioFiber and Airtel Xstream Fiber.
