NEW DELHI: State-run BSNL today said it will soon launch a promotional unlimited wireline broadband plan that effectively translates into less than Re 1 per GB download cost for subscribers if they use up to 300GB data in a month.

Attempting to take Reliance Jio's 4G offer of Rs 50 per GB head-on, BSNL is looking to hook new customers to its wireline broadband offering.

"BSNL is going to launch a very cost-effective and affordable promotional unlimited Broadband plan 'Experience Unlimited BB 249' from September 9, 2016," the telecom PSU said in a statement.

The plan will enhance the customer experience towards wireline broadband services and attract new users to experience BSNL broadband services, the corporation's Chairman cum Managing Director Anupam Shrivastava said in a statement.

"Under this plan, customers can download unlimited Broadband data without bothering about any data limit in GB. BSNL shall offer 2 Mbps speed under this plan," the statement said.

BSNL said that if customers use the plan continuously in a month, they can download upto 300 GB data by paying Rs 249.

"Hence, per GB of data download cost comes out as less than Re 1 per GB. After six months, customer will be migrated to one of the regular broadband plan based on the choice of the customer," BSNL said.

Shrivastava added that BSNL is the only operator offering lowest per GB data download cost plan under broadband services in the country.

At Reliance Industries' 42th Annual General Meeting yesterday, Chairman Mukesh Ambani had said data must be "affordable". He had said that against the prevailingmarket rate of Rs 250 per GB, Jio's rates will be Rs 25-50 per GB depending on data usage. Reliance Jio 4G services is targeting 100 million customers in the shortest time possible.

Meanwhile, BSNL also said that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Telecom Department regarding performance based targets assigned to the telecom PSU.

"BSNL signs MoU with Department of Telecom every year wherein certain parameter performance based targets are assigned to BSNL, by DOT and DPE (Department of Public Enterprises). On the basis of annual achievement vis-a vis targets of the MoU, DPE evaluates company's performance and accordingly awards rating to BSNL," the release added.

This is only because of corruption and babu culture of bootlicking. No respect for customers. How come airtel is able to provide a crystal clear phone line with high snr and bsnl cannot? They have absolutely no shortage of funds... the equipment is of good quality but workmanship sucks. Lines broken here and there, shabby wiring, poor maintenance of lines and equipment lead to noise problems which lower snr. Repairs are not done after repeated complaints and finally people switch to private players. I suspect the private players bribe the lineman to destroy bsnl quality and then suck their customers after switching.
They have absolutely no accountability from staff. Horse or donkey all equal.

its 100 % True bro My Bro Was Earlier during 2008-2011 was in BSNL(now at Jio) at senior post and left BSNL due to this only because every 2nd day Airtel people come their office to bribe BSNL officers to choked BSNL Network and BB during that time even they offered money to my bro but when my bro denied senior officials forced later he left so this is the condition of BSNL :angry don't know now :s

speed is 2 mbps for 300 gb. :skd

It still is very lucrative :clap
and rs. 500 is also fine..

I m paying rs.800 approx for 10 gb @ 2mbps, and 512 kbps thereafter on MTNL :damn

I think all operators will have to wake up soon or otherwise, their employees will soon be jobless , as ppl will migrate to other ops, and sleepy operators will have shut their business entirely.

All, in All.... JIO is a blessing in disguise for customers hya
