Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), one of India's largest internet service providers (ISPs), has removed its most affordable plan from the offering. We are talking about the Rs 329 plan that used to come with 20 Mbps speed and 1TB of data. However, the speed dropped to 2 Mbps once the data was entirely consumed. But now, this plan is not available in any circle of India. In July 2022, BSNL only offered this plan in six circles of India - Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Telangana, Uttarakhand, and Lakshadweep UT. But now, this plan is not available in any circle of the country.
