BSNL increases broadband FUP limit in select districts in the UP (East) circle

To attract more customers to its broadband services, BSNL has revised its broadband plans in select areas in the UP (East) circle by increasing the FUP limit. The new broadband tariff will come into effect from March 01, 2016, but only in selected SSAs of UP (East) Circle only.

For customers in Allahabad, Kanpur, Lucknow, and Varanasi SSAs of UP (East) circle, BSNL has revised its broadband plans by increasing the FUP limit almost three times. At the same time, BSNL has also increased the fixed monthly cost from Rs. 50 to Rs. 99 across all its plans.

For existing customers, who are already under annual payment option, may not be charged with the revised tariff till the expiry of their current subscription period ends.

The broadband plans for new and existing broadband customers in Azamgarh, Ballia, Banda, Barabanki, Basti, Behraich, Deoria, Faizabad, Farrukhabad, Fatehpur, Ghazipur, Gonda, Gorakhpur, Hamirpur, Hardoi, Jaunpur, Jhansi, Lakhimpur, Mau, Mirzapur, Orai, Pratapgarh, Raibareli, Shahjanpur, Sitapur, Sultanpur, and Unnao SSAs of UP (East) circle are revised as follows.

The latest move from BSNL is to retain existing subscribers, and to attract more customers to its broadband service, which is facing stiff competition from local players. The launch of 4G broadband service by private operators is also viewed as a big threat to BSNL's broadband business.
