BSNL has announced to launch an unlimited wireline broadband plan which will cost the user less than Re 1 per GB data consumption. But like all such plans there's a catch, the user will need to use up to 300GB data in a month.
BSNL's announcement comes right after Reliance Jio's launch which promises to offer 4G data at Rs 50 per GB.
"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. 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 up to 300 GB data by paying Rs 249. "Hence, per GB data download cost comes out to be less than Re 1 per GB. After six months, customer will be migrated to one of the regular broadband plans based on the choice of the customer," BSNL said.
