BSNL had recently introduced many attractive broadband plans, but most of them were SSA or circle specific plans and available only as a promotional offer for 90 days. This is a welcome move from BSNL to increase FUP limit and introduce new unlimited plans with higher FUP limit across India. However, post FUP speeds remain unchanged with speeds starting at just 512kbps.
Note: Plans are subjected to change do check with BSNL before opting.
