After all it is a company owned by Indian Government, that's why they show up this kind of progress, when other competitors get miles ahead in the race.

Everyone of them, 1750/- plan has 100GB FUP @ 4MBPs till that, if it was 1350/- I would take it in a heartbeat, but 1350/- plan has 30GB FUP(Gah).

BSNL has finally decided to revise its Unlimited and Home Combo Broadband plans across India. The speed upgrade will be done in phases and will be completed across India within a month. The upgradation will start from Feb 1st, 2012.
Both business and home users will be benefitted from it. BBG Combo 299, BB Home UL 499, BB Home Combo UL 625, BBG Combo ULD 850 and BB Home Combo ULD 900 will get speed doubled.
BB Home UL 499 and BB Home Combo UL 625 will get speed upgrades upto 512Kbps with 4GB data limit, 256Kbps after that. BBG Combo 299 will get speed upgrade of 512Kbps. BB Home Combo UL 850 and BB Home Combo ULD 900 will get speed upgrade of 2Mbps and 4Mbps respectively till 8GB, 512 Kbps after that.
Other high end plans like BBG Combo ULD 1350, BBG Combo ULD 1700, BBG Combo ULD 2150 and BBG ULD 2150 will also get speed upgrade from 1Mbps to 4Mbps. The data limit is also increased after which the speed will be downgraded.

Was looking for a 1Mbps UL scheme within 1000. The only plan closer to that is BBG Combo ULD 1350. But in essence, I will be paying 600 bucks more for 20gb data @ 4Mbps over the UL750 scheme.

Don't know if it will be a wise move from my present FN600 scheme. :(

750 per month, 1.5mbps literally unlimited(no fup) and i would be happy, but no, bsnl just can't.

4 Mbps upto 30 GB, 512 Kbps beyond in selected Circle/SSAs (Karnataka Circle, Tamilnadu Circle, Hyderabad SSA, Faridabad SSA, Noida SSA, Gurgaon SSA, Gaziabad SSA only)

I'm tempted to jump to the 2150 plan

This is super cool.. i am also currenlt on the 1350 plan. But for an extra 800 bucks a month you getting almost 6 times the download limit @ 4 mbit.. its a no brainer for me.. gonna switch asap.

But i am just thinking that the last few days of every month will be at a brain numbing 256 kbit :neutral:... still 175 GB @ 4GB *drool*

For my BSNL ULD 900 Plan,I had to pay Rs.795/- (including service Tax charges)every month, as I work at Life Insurance Corporation of India ,and the landline being registered under my name.
I get the 20% discount from BSNL.
I also mentioned in a separate thread:-
...
...

Actually, speed increase from 256Kbps to 512Kbps is much substantial,for users like us in India...

But the 4Mbps,speed remains the same till downloads/uploads of 8GB data...should have been upgraded to 8Mbps !!!
Let's wait & watch in the near Future.
BSNL is very, very miser, in allocating Bandwidth to the subscribers,mostly of us.

^ It varies in different states. 512kb is the minimum speed. Iam from Kerala and we are getting 1 mbps consistantly. From my experience, WiMAX is really awesome. You get all India roaming too for free. You should check with your local BSNL exchange for local plans.

WIMAX services in States are depends on How many BTS established and what extend.. Typical location will be around 15 K.M between each tower.. but technically signal can reached about 35 k.m to 50 k.m range for each tower radius.. another good aspect is that intervening building does not hinder the signal strength ,(unlike in GSM and CDMA based evdo).. However BSNL marketing Bosses are willing to kill it for 3G (where they paid heavy spectrum charges) as they believe it is competing with their existing technology.. so in must of state the Marketing as well as Agents Mafia collision prevented from wimax to be offered widely

I am personally unable to appreciate the disapproval of most here... BSNL has, taking for example UL750, increased UL750 speed from 512kbps for full month to 1 Mbps for first 6 GB of the month and then 512 kbps for rest of month without changing cost. So, in general there is an increase in speed and at most, after fup speed drops down to older speed in the plan.

While I appreciate that FUP is a PITA, most of those affected by it are those who are downloading illegal movies, apps, etc... Sure there are a few legitimate users affected by it (including me) who may download large legal (trial) apps, linux distros, online gaming, etc. but the percentage is very small... I would guess that only 5% of subscriber base would be affected by the FUP and among that 5%, only 1% would be affected for legitimate reasons...

Sure, I am affected by FUP myself (I have Airtel unlimited which fups me by about 20-25 days in general)... And the reasoning that the companies give of piracy,etc might be actually BS (the actual being to increase their profit by forcing some users to go for higher plans)... However, I think we should just accept it and live with it... May be once piracy is curbed, we can think about forcing the companies to drop the fups...

And the reasoning that the companies give of piracy,etc might be actually BS (the actual being to increase their profit by forcing some users to go for higher plans)... However, I think we should just accept it and live with it... May be once piracy is curbed, we can think about forcing the companies to drop the fups...

Online gaming. I bought genuine Battlefield 3. Me & Charan play almost everynight on the internet. So you can't say that all of us download illegal movies etc. What about the guys who are trying different FOSS OS? They're also legal torrents..

I not fully disagreeing with you... But remember that you would have earlier downloaded both FreeBSD and Debian at 512 kbps only... But now you have downloaded both at 1Mbps without increase in your monthly bill... And now, you are continuing to download at 512kbps which was the speed you had earlier subscribed to...

Also, how often do you try out new variants? Very few people try variants more than once a month... Maybe initially people might try many variants one after the other, and there may be people who want to try out different flavors continuously, but these are rare...

I already agreed that online gaming people are among those legitimately affected by FUP... And I agree with lfc the list of activities are those for whom FUP will be genuinely affected...

However, I have only stated my personal opinion... Sorry if it bothered so many people...

Well, I'm not saying only about this plan.

I'm ready to pay more...but these guys (actually none) have 1mbps / 2mbps UL plan (UL = No FUP)

Well, sify is there but they doesn't provide connection in my area. I'm looking for Reliance now, but it seems like they also don't provide connection in my area.

And my last hope is Alliance which I don't want to opt for.

I know we got a speed boost on our old plan without paying extra. So that's not the thing I'm talking about.

But they don't have any other plans too.

512kbps is nothing nowadays. Even a 360p YouTube video's doesn't stream properly (smoothly).

MTNL does offer both FUP and non-FUP plan, 512Kbps@599, 1Mbps@999. How about BSNL offering similar plans? They deserve every bit of criticism they get. They fail to give good offers even in cities like Bangalore. By the VFM logic they could have offered two plans one this, and the other 768Kbps UL No FUP. But nope.

:lol: It's Mahanagar and not Maharashtra. MTNL is there in Mumbai and Delhi. BSNL is there in rest of India. Both are government-owned.

BSNL does not exist in Mumbai or Delhi.

Wow,those plans are good.So probably we can expect some plan changes from BSNL and MTNL.
This is from RComs website.

I would have opted for this, but neither is their an open connection for Rcom in my building neither do they provide anywhere near good service. My neighbor's connection is down most of the time (he's switching to bsnl).

Also, when I first opted for this connection, they made me wait 2 months (they offered the best plan, thought the wait would be worth it) before saying that there is no connection available for my flat. Switched to BSNL immediately after, can't say if it offers anything better.

cos you are given free calls.

Better move to UL 750. 256kbps sucks.

i'll move to 750UL plan but why was FUP applied at 10Gb whereas it should be at 4Gb. though i am not complaining about it. a free meal is always welcomed :p

Re: BSNL Revises Broadband Plan

did many times. this happened after modem was turned off for 15-16hrs.
Probably BSNL's stupid online management then.

Take for example, if you pay online, it takes 3 days for the transaction to complete while it literally takes 6 hours while paid through the cashier.

Also, their website and portal..o_q

Feb 9, 2012 at 2:23 PM
that explains. had i not turned off modem for so long, maybe i would still have got 512kbps. thanks :smile:
