Well just found this post by BSNL in Facebook. They said,
Enjoy Increased BSNL-Broadband Speed by March Across Major Cities :

Our esteemed Broadband customers will be able to experience enhanced broadband speed in cities across India by March end.

RK Upadhyay,CMD,BSNL said that "We are about to finish Phase 1 of exchange modernization project using next generation technology from Huawei by March this year.After this transformation, BSNL customers will be able to experience enhanced broadband s peed, video calling, call transfer, modern cloud computing based services etc"

The modernization of BSNL's 10,000 exchanges in urban centres, which are being equipped with new technology provided by telecom gear provider firm Huawei, in cities is expected to complete by the end of next month.

Over 27,000 exchanges in rural area are being modernized with the help of Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT). This will be complete by the end of next fiscal year.

BSNL will have total of 4 million broadband lines on next generation technology by end of next fiscal.

If anyone knows in advance what plans are going to be released please mention here.

Its because of Beam, else BSNL would have gone extinct in Hyderabad, mostly they had also lost the Land Line market there to Tata etc for a few years now. That plan is almost 1 yr old.

+1 for this.
Why such laughable discrimination among other major/metro cities with that of Hyderabad?
This is just a meaningless mad play by BSNL,by offering such plans to a particular city in India,while others just suck their fingers.

Let's wait for 1 week more and observe the results.

If I were you I would not listen to what neighbours and users say because trust me most people are ignorant about computes and networks and they just say those things bcause of their lack of knowledge.Next time someone tells you that ISP with rj-45 cable gives viruses ask them to explain how data transfer through rj-45 cable works and that will shut them up.dont get swayed by other peoples opinions.form your own opinions based on facts.use the internet to se if this allegations are true.
i had no problems with viruses or security till now.as for reliablity,maybe 3-4 times a month their network is down for a few hours but otherwise it is OK

I had similar experience when I was on 900 plan. If I did not use bittorrent for a few days, the speed will stay near 2 Mbps for sometime. On resuming bittorrent transfer it would return to 512 Kbps after variable duration of a day or two.

Now that I have switched to 800 plan, I have never got any bonus speed.

Four new plans were launched according to their post in Facebook, only for Noida and Ghaziabad. IMHO all are meaningless as post FUP speed is still 512 kbps. I don't think they have any idea about 15 GB, and how long it actually takes to reach 15 GB with 16 mbps or even 8 mbps. DUMB as usual :|

I really wish people realised that whatever benefits A. Raja got from spectrum scam, he also enabled us to have the cheapest mobile tariff in the world.

Someone should declare BSNL copper cables / network as national asset and allow competitive bidding on utilisation of it for last mile connectivity. BSNL is fully govt owned anyway. Only then we might start seeing meaningful plans.

Otherwise TRAI should revise its definition of broadband to say 1 Mbps minimum.

I think Bsnl landline and broadband will die soon in AP considering the pace at which Beam is beating them up here.

Even Bsnl upgraded recently in AP, but it doesn't seem to interest me after seeing super reliability,support and quality of beam.


Bsnl FTTH is being advertised in hyd but too late bsnl.

Only bsnl mobile may survive. :-D

The only good thing about BSNL is their land-line, which I forgot when I last used, however it might come handy in case of a danger situation :p
I seriously feel about all the other BSNL customers, if my family were not involved with them and I would have not got 2 mbps unlimited speed then day and night I would call them with M, A and other good words :D

I visited one in Chattisgarh (no offence but I don't even know the name of the place, but there was no number per house!) last month, for the first time in my life, and my Vodafone was coming and going, where AirTel was stable as hell. Same happens when I visit in Gujarat. Voda randomly drops, but AirTel rock solid. I hate AirTel, but gotta agree in remote places their network is damn good. Well I have no interest to take a BSNL SIM there, so won't comment on that.
I won't say BSNL is good because they work in remote areas. A network which will work stably everywhere in India will be my choice, and that's what AirTel is. I am a pure Vodafone user when I am home or inside Calcutta region, but they aren't the best if it's about area coverage. When I had BSNL, I went to bank near my home, no network, I cross the subway in Howrah station, forget about it, even sometimes under clear and open sky, other parties (callers) used to hear 'number is not reachable', yet I had full tower. They should self destruct themselves from W.B and focus where they work. Sorry, I just couldn't resist myself, have written so much, just got reminded how much monetary loss I had to bear due to it, and the level of irritation was infinite. Then one day I threw and broke my Nokia 1100 in Howrah St, and it was one of the happiest moment of my life :| I kinda feel about that phone though :(

"BSNL will be concentrating in the south by extending the AP plans to all southern states first and then the remaining states in the north as well by April-July period". It also depends on Tier 1 or Tier 2 cities likewise.

No problem [MENTION=105611]bavusani[/MENTION],for introducing the Super Blaze Plan by BSNL on Hyderabad and AP and also in the other southern states.
But what is the fault with us those who stay on the Eastern,North Eastern or Northern states of India???

Are we truly living in India in this 21 st century,or is it a North-South Divide a legacy that carries on time immemorial???

Why this laughable and illogical discrimination by BSNL is a mystery more than the vanishing of the Malaysian MH 370 aircraft.

If BSNL does have some sense and wits on their organisation,they must introduce the above mentioned Plan on a Pan Indian scale and proportion.

Mind it Friend,what is a privilege today might be a burden tomorrow...

BSNL(or any govt organization) does not worry about losing money because they are insured with money that comes from people's pockets.as long as govt controls BSNL,no matter how much loss they make,their employees salaries will be paid.btw BSNL has still a long way to go down to reach the level of Air India which still enjoys the support of govt & thus people's money.

Don't talk abt speed of employees,,not every bsnl customer's is employee of bsnl
bsnl employess even get 20% discount on broadband plans.
2mbps for 3/4 people doesn't mean's for all ..
we are talking here abt pan india..

read this govt said in 2011 - minmum 2mbps from 2015

You didn't get my point! Everyone knows what very few employees get don't matter. What I meant was they are very very much capable of providing 2 mbps ULD, without Fibre. And yes, last time the speed was updated was back in 09. And the person whom I speak with has any inside information then next year they will announce 2 mbps as the base speed. Again, that's no news for me, or shouldn't be for any users, cause in Mid 2015, 2 mbps speed means slow as hell. Anyway, given the current situation of most / all customers it will be more than :D situation. Maybe by that time in that bloody AP 4 / 8 mbps will be base speed :|
All being said I am not holding my breath for 2015. Cause we all know our telecommunication department and ****ing BSNL and government nonsense.

I believe speeds are not getting any better because everyone is using 3G internet instead of wired broadband connections. There is not much demand for high speed broadband and therefore no competition. Most of the people are pleased if they can get through their FB page everyday and they only need a 3G plan for that. So not many telecom companies are interested in Broadband and that is the reason things are still the same even after years

You might want to let the BSNL guys know about this and they can help you getting the speeds reduced to the FUP agreed levels. Or may be disconnect internet all togather as they are terribly inconsistent on thier FUP limitations.

PS:: I wish average Indians understand the sarcasm without the author notifying the same to the readers

well i have heard few users getting speed even after exceeding FUP...but getting the monthly quote started a day before 1st..on 31 is somthing new for me...and if the bsnl employees had little more of knowledge of thier field it would have helped..i further asked the employee that how does bsnl calculate the month of feb?..does it believe that the day after 28th is 29,30 and then 1st?..poor guy was dumbstruck

BSNL is a total fad onto itself.
Just see,nowhere in India has the speed/bandwidth of BB increased.
They just are a casual liar for any statements they make.

When you post something post in full or don't post. The prices of those two plans have been hiked but the cap has been withdrawn!

Customers on BB Home Rural Combo ULD 500 will have to pay additional Rs. 50 per month now. A positive thing here is, there won’t be any differential speed after usage of 6 GB. Earlier the speed was capped to 256 kbps after that limit. Now it would be 512 kbps flat and the plan name will be changed to BB Home Rural Combo UL 550. Customers on BB Home Combo ULD 950 are not as lucky. They will be paying Rs. 999 with no other changes!

Yeah I can see that. Whatever that rural plan thingy is, it's still a plan right? :|

rural plan means it is available only in rural areas(less than a specific no. of connections at local exchange & other factors) making these plans unavailable for more than 99% of people here & in general not of much use(rural folks/their bsnl lines conditions won't be making full use of these plans anyway).

DAMNNNNED !!!

I am on ULD950 Plan,that means I've to shell out Rs.49/- more. Still to be considered only if they keep a flat bandwidth of 4Mbps (at least 2Mbps) UNLIMITED...

I think this has to be looked upon :--->(Those of whom are staying at Kolkata)

Thanks Friend for a worthy assurance.
Actually I download most of (various flavoured)Linux Distros in orders of GB from the net...
Though I am still with BSNL at least till October(Pujas)...if and only if some upgradation in bandwidth occurs.:wink:

After that I shall switch over to Alliance.

Yeah, in Kolkata it's an option but I am not in Kolkata exactly, but some kms away, and here when Alliance tried to introduce their service they got threatened by our local cable wallahs! Mothersuckers. Otherwise that Rs.1399 plan is bloody damn good :cool:

that will come by Next elections in 2019.. :lol:

consider yourself lucky that 512 kbps at least has been made mandatory.. and even for that they have hiked the tariff by 100-200 rs

at this rate 4g will become more cheaper than broadband..

btw what is stopping ACT broadband to come to whole Northern areas ?
