Jio Impact: BSNL Offers 300 GB Data, Partial Free Calls At Rs 249

BSNL is offering up to 300 GB of internet at a speed of 2 Mbps in a broadband plan priced at Rs 249. The aggressive entry of Reliance Jio has led to a tariff war across India's telecom sector. In its "BB Unlimited 249" plan, BSNL is enabling its customers to download unlimited broadband data by paying "just Rs 249" monthly" for up to 300 GB of data every month, the state-run telecom operator said on its website. BSNL's unlimited broadband at Rs 249 plan comes with a daily limit of 10 GB at 2 Mbps, beyond which speed will be reduced to 1 Mbps, a customer care executive told NDTV Profit.

The BSNL plan has a monthly limit of 300 GB at 2 Mbps. In case a user consumes less than 10 GB of internet in a day, the remainder will be carried forward to the 10 GB limit the next day, the BSNL customer care executive said. After a user exhausts the 10 GB daily limit of 2 Mbps, the speed will be reduced to 1 Mbps, she further said.
