Hi,
I recently stumbled upon a report that BSNL has revised their mnimum speed to 521kbps from 256kbps, effective from 20th May. Could anyone please confirm if it is true? I am asking about West Bengal circle. If it is the case I shall get the "BB Home Combo ULD 650" plan which will give 512kbps flat, instead of 256kbps after 4GB of download.

Thanks in advance :)

you know what.. I wonder why we are still at this low minimum speed when companies are capable of giving out "50mbps" speed. I don't face FUP problem is because I consume only what I need. I just don't get it.

I am on the same plan. If it is so than it is definitely a good news. Though I hope it is not State specific.
