The existing customers with Night Unlimited (UL500) plan will still use that plan. But they want to change the plan, then they will NOT be able to switch back to UL500 again.

which plan are you talking about?
can you show me the plan on BSNL website please?

i was thinking about getting UL750 combo,(4GB per day possible)
but i might reconsider my decision if i can download 3.8GB per day at the plan you are talking about

Seems like the following plans have been cancelled:

The FN 500 is not a combo plan. So you had to pay monthly telephone rentals alongwith the BB charges (Rs. 500). Obviously, customers rather chose the Combo 600 plan (Rs. 600) which is the same as the 500 except that you don't need to pay any landline charges. Overall it saves a couple of bucks.

what r u guys talking about...its still listed in the site
*lh3.googleusercontent.com/_9a5lKZR2-08/TV63a8p1PnI/AAAAAAAAFyg/0Sxqv0y55q8/s800/bb.jpg

r these old plans?? bsnl havent updated website??

To clarify further my friend is also using Combo 500 and his dad is a sarkari officer so he have to pay only 400+taxes...that makes it soo much cost effective.

landline rent+175calls+1.5GB usage+night unlimited+broadband rent = RS.500 only bbcombo 500

landline rent+250calls+2.5GB usage+night unlimited+broadband rent = RS.600 only bbcombo 600

@pauldmps where did u get that sheet??

@ sujoyp

See this:
.:BB COMBO:.

The 500 combo plan has not been cancelled. It is the regular 500 plan which has been cancelled.

BBG FN 500 = 2.5GB + Night unlimited + Landline rent extra. (cancelled)
BBG FN Combo 500 = 1.5GB + Night unlimited + No Landline rent
BBG FN Combo 600 = 2.5GB + Night unlimited + No Landline rent


Another (good) thing which I noticed is that the tariff for extra usage has been significantly reduced from 50p/mb to 20p/mb

Maybe we'll get a speed bump this year as TRAI has recommended to raise the minimum broadband speed from 256 kbps to 2 Mbps.. see this

---------- Post added at 06:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:43 AM ----------

and.. if this is imposed, 512 kbps users maybe offered 1 Mbps speed.

The lowest internationally accepted speed for a connection to be called Broadband is 4Mbps. We are still far away from it. Still a great step forward.

Chances are they will implement it by August this year,
only to be bottlenecked by FUP
TRAI has said nothing about FUP

Technically BSNL's UL850 and UL1350 is compliant with the recommendations
but is severely FUP-ed up:-(
