BSNL FTTH Broadband Plans Refreshed Again to Offer Up to 3.5TB Data at 100Mbps

BSNL has reportedly once again revised its FTTH (Fibre to the Home) broadband plans to now offer more data and faster broadband speeds in the Chennai circle. All of its plans priced at Rs. 999, Rs. 1,299, Rs. 1,699, Rs. 1,999, Rs. 2,999, and Rs. 4,999, are now said to have been upgraded in the Chennai circle to offer more benefits with speeds of up to 100Mbps and high speed data limits of up to 3.5TB, refreshed on a monthly basis.

The Rs. 1,999 broadband plan is also said to have been upgraded to 100Mbps with usage of up to 1.4TB, compared to 800GB at 80Mbps previously.

The BSNL Fibro Combo ULD Rs. 2,999 broadband plan is now said to come with upload and download speeds of up to 2TB at speeds of 100Mbps.

All of the above-mentioned plans have a post-FUP speed of 2Mbps and free voice calling benefits across India, the report adds. Apart from that, all subscribers get a free email ID with 1GB of free storage space. One free static IP can also be requested.
