Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) on Monday revised its Rs 777 plan dubbed as “500GB CUL” with the plan now offering users up to 100 Mbps download speeds. The 500GB CUL plan was initially introduced by the operator in late 2018 with BSNL withdrawing the plan and reintroducing it in early 2019. In early 2020, BSNL said that the 500GB CUL plan would be valid till June, 2020. However, the operator in June extended the Rs 777 plan to September 24, 2020 in certain circles like Arunachal Pradesh while other circles were offered the plan till September 25, 2020.
