Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), the current leading player in the Indian wired broadband space has extended the validity of its entry-level broadband plan- BB249 again, but this time, it regularised the plan, meaning the plan now doesn’t have an expiry date. Earlier, BSNL offered the BB249 broadband plan on a promotional basis until June 30, 2018, but now, the plan doesn’t have any 90-day expiry period. BSNL is offering this plan on a pan-India basis, and it provides benefits such as 8 Mbps download speed, unlimited free calls on BSNL network within India and unlimited voice calls to any network between 10:30 PM to 6 AM.

Offers 8 Mbps Speeds Until 5GB
The first and foremost thing to consider in a broadband plan is its speed. The BB249 plan from BSNL provides 8 Mbps of download/upload speed. But sadly, the 5 Mbps is limited to just 5GB, post which the speeds will be reduced.

Unlimited Data at 1 Mbps Speed Post 5GB
Same as other broadband players, BSNL is also offering unlimited data once after you consume the alloted 5GB of data. The post-FUP speed is 1 Mbps, and there’s no FUP at this speed though.

Valid on Pan-India Basis With Security Deposit of Rs 500
Since the beginning, BSNL offered this plan on a pan-India basis and the same continues going forward. Also, at the time of installation, BSNL will be collecting Rs 500 as a security deposit and the minimum hire period for the same is one month.
