BSNL discontinues Rs 499 Bharat Fiber broadband plan, introduces quarterly payment with 15 days extra validity

BSNL is rolling out a new payment scheme for some of its broadband plans. It is giving users 15 days extra validity if they subscribe to specific broadband plans for three months.

Government-owned telco and internet service provider (ISP) Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) announced some developments for its broadband plans. Firstly, it has discontinued its Rs 499 broadband plan called the 100GB CUL plan and will migrate the customers to some other regular fiber broadband plans. BSNL also noted that existing customers under this broadband plan shall continue to use this plan. The Rs 499 100GB plan was introduced in May and offered 10Mbps download speed up to 40GB with a post FUP download speed of 512Kbps.

“It has been decided by the competent authority to withdraw PAN India Bharat Fibre Broadband plan ‘100GB CUL@Rs. 499’ for new customers in all circles. Existing customers under this Broadband plan shall continue. However, efforts may be made to migrate these customers to some other regular Bharat Fiber Broadband plans which are in offer,” BSNL noted in an official statement. The development was first noted by Kerala Telecom.
