MTNL slashes broadband tariff by 50%

Hope it hasn't been posted earlier.

State-run Mahanagar Telecom Nigam Ltd (MTNL) today said it has reduced its broadband charges by 50 per cent in order to increase its broadband consumer base in the city(New Delhi)

"We have slashed the charges of our broadband service in the national capital by up to 50 per cent," company Executive Director (Delhi) A K Arora told reporters here.

The PSU announced a plan that will offer customers high speed (2 mbps) Internet access at a monthly rental of Rs 99 and 150 MB free download. Alternately, users can opt for a monthly rental scheme of Rs 149 with free download of 400 mb.

These plans will be available from August 15. It has also reduced the monthly rental of another tariff plan by 34 per cent from Rs 899 to 599 that would be available to customers from September 1.

Currently, MTNL has 2.6 lakh broadband customers in Delhi.

Arora said the reduction in tariff will be effective from August 15 for new customers. And for the existing customers, it will be available from September 1.

NOT FOR MUMBAI CUSTOMER.

Hope so !

I hope someone introduces a decent Night Unlimited plan! Both airtel and MTNL have done away with them it seems

yaa... they are first to slash the price..but soon Airtel and BSNL will also be doing.

BTW, I will be moving to MTNL 599 UL plan.

MTNL = sucks.
BSNL = rocks!

^^if you say so,

.

I have been with MTNL for like 1.5years now and they have never failed me except some line problems sometimes.I would say downtime has been less than a week in those 18 months which is GREAT.It is reliable and delivers whats promised.

and er....NO WAITING PERIOD.You apply today and you have MTNL peeps standing at your doorsteps a few days later at max.(more often the same or next day).

,beat that suxers.

ha beat me.. >.<

Bsnl Rocks Always

can't beat you ma friend.

TO all:he din't pay his net bill for months and what all his ISP did was just reduced his speeds from 6mbps to 2mbps.>.<

also,he don't use torrents much cus there is a FBI building within walking distance from his place.RS ftw!.

All the mtnl workers in mumbai are lazy dumbas* . I applied for mtnl broadband night unlimited plan , and the man responsible for setting up the connection said that it will take 2.5 months for setting up the connection even when i have mtnl landline connection in my house from last 20 years . My area is covered as shown in their website and my neighbour has mtnl connection so connectivity is not a problem . The only reason is that their people are very lazy to work .

Not really...
There may not be Technical feasibility to provide you a connection.
Mostly it means that there is no empty port in DSLAM situated in your local exchange.
so they must be waiting for new equipment to enhance capacity and provide more connections than current capacity.

This process usually takes time

MTNL suxz. I had applied for 849 NU 4 months back when my PL was starting. Now the PL, Exams, Vacation all are over and they still haven't changed it.

why there is diffrent between this two city

^^ Cos MTNL Mumbai sucks. And MTNL Delhi doesnt.

lets see what bsnl does

so, whats the total bill for you mtnl users?? are there any modem rents or any other charges included(except tax) ??

I'm using Airtel 128kbps for Rs. 699 , where the bill comes around Rs. 785 after taxes...

╬Switch╬ said:

BSNL = rocks!

And Airtel is the winner!

add Rs50 for router charges and then do 112.5% for total bill.

599plan=Rs730 Bill/month.

M

you mean 599 rs only for phone+broadband+tax+rental etc ?

As 599 plan can't be applied for anymore, I guess my Airtel conne. is better...

^^wtf naab?

you can apply for 599 plan RIGHT NOW.

MTNL rules in Delhi.

599 for phone rent+256kbps UL +100 free calls.(called 599 combo plan)

add Rs50 for router rent and then add 12.5% tax.

this really sucks. I can understand if there is a diff of a few 100rs or so but charging Rs.2000 more from Mumbai customers for the same plan. WTF? Cant we just sue their a**** for this discrimination

Atlast someone has started the race...

Will have to wait to see how others will respond...

Hope airtel brings 512 below 1k Rs

who cares about MTNL.

Better go for BSNL or Airtel

^You seriously don't know about MTNL then.

arre u dont have a choice btw mtnl and bsnl. Both r State run Telecom providers. If u live in Mumbai n Delhi.. U have only MTNL while for the rest of the country its BSNL.

Ohhh...
Thats why ...
But still MTNL is better than Airtel.

I dont agree with you. I have just taken MTNL broadband, and in span of 17 days, I have faced 4 long downtime. Customer care is worst, they dont pick up the phone, and when they pick-up.... they have no solution.

the main thing is that MTNL Delhi is facing alot of competition which is not the case with MTNL mumbai. In mumbai, MTNL is monopoly like MS, In Delhi it is underdog like Apple!

ka bol rahe ho babu

One Update:
Today I got my second bill from MTNL, they have overcharged Rs. 500/-. When I called MTNL customer care, they told me that yes it is overcharged but he can't help. I need to talk to some other persons, and gave me few numbers. When I called on those number, no one picked the phone. I will try again tomorrow, and if problem is not solved I will have to visit sanchar hatt.

I will say MTNL is worst BB service of India.

Airtel Rocks and it will soon come up with some awesome plans

Hope so...

I want 2mbps UL under 1k........and most importantly use of new technologies to reduce pings,do away with router sh!t already.Pings are more important than speeds.

and I love my plan around Rs 750 including taxes .

Rs 400 free usage (land line or broadband or both) + 100 for router + 100 night unlimited + taxes = Rs 750

day speed :- 256 kbps

night speed :- 512 kbps

ofcourse bro, i m getting tht speed... and i wrote tht so, MTNL users here would post the speeds they are getting..

sam9s said:
I was paying 700 for 256kbps unlimited and now I have 512 unlimited for 1200....... with speeds never getting down below 500kbps

What plan u were using for 256kbps, I guess you were paying 772 w/o taxes instead of 700

Whatever it is, I don't want BSNL to take away the happy hours plan. It'll be a serious blow to all of us :-|

Why cant Mumbai have such plans????
Mumbai MTNL sucks to the core....
Too much Downtime
Horrible plans
Rotten CC

Y cant they implement Delhi plans in Mumbai?
Akhir Mumbai mein kyaa kamii hai?
