BSNL Has Five More FTTH Plans
Not only the Rs 1,277 broadband plan, but BSNL also has five more FTTH plans which the government-owned firm is offering on a pan-India basis. The other FTTH plans are Rs 777, Rs 3,999, Rs 5,999, Rs 9,999 and Rs 16,999. The Rs 777 broadband plan offers 50 Mbps speeds up to 500GB FUP. The Rs 3,999 plan ships with 60 Mbps speeds and 750GB of FUP, followed by the Rs 5,999 FTTH plan which provides a user 70 Mbps speeds until 1.25TB. Both the Rs 9,999 and Rs 16,999 broadband plans offer speeds up to 100 Mbps, but the FUP differs at 2.25TB and 3.5TB respectively.
BSNL Maintains Leadership in India's Broadband Market
BSNL has maintained the leadership in India’s Broadband market for more than ten years now. The telco currently has more than 55% of market share in the country, but other players are slowly catching up. Reliance Jio is expected to set its foot in the broadband market very soon on a pan-India basis. The Mukesh Ambani-owned company is also providing Jio GigaFiber service in various parts of the country. Right now, Jio is giving free 100 Mbps connection and 1.1TB of FUP for one month as part of JioGigaFiber Preview offer. The Preview offer from Jio is valid for three months from the date of availing, but it might extend over the course of time.
