BSNL Unveils Plans for Prepaid Broadband Services
26 Oct 2009
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) launched prepaid broadband service for the first time in the country to enable customers access Internet in any city except Delhi and Mumbai.
BSNL prepaid Broadband service appears to be more expensive on a monthly basis, than a post-paid one. The installation and modem charges for both pre-paid and post-paid are the same just that prepaid users don’t need to give a security deposit or an advance monthly rental, which means that their postpaid broadband plans are essentially prepaid.
BSNL has priced prepaid with limited downloads on a per MB basis, which makes it quite expensive, particularly when you take into account that they’re charging according to the number of MB utilized. For Rs. 250, after taxes and charges, you will get around 336MB of data per month. For Rs. 500, users get 671mb for 45 days.
BSNL is also offering validity vouchers with no usage of Rs.100, Rs.150 and Rs.250 and Top-Up Vouchers worth Rs.100, Rs.200 and Rs.500.
The cost clearly doesn’t encourage an increase in broadband usage in India, though it might help bring more people into the system because a security deposit and one month of advance payment isn’t there for prepaid broadband users.
