Mukesh Ambani’s JioFiber wired broadband service has added three lakh new customers during September 2020, the latest data from Trai suggests. Next to JioFiber is Bharti Airtel’s Xstream Fiber service that added just over 66,000 new users. State-run BSNL lost over 1.8 lakh existing customers during the same period. Just a few days ago, we reported that BSNL managed to add around 87,000 new broadband users in October. So it will be exciting to see how BSNL turned the tables in just a month. BSNL’s affordable broadband plans with 3.3TB FUP limit went official at the start of October, so that could be one of the reasons behind the major subscriber additions. Despite losing 1.8 lakh existing users, BSNL is still the leading wired broadband service provider with a market share of 38.55%.
