MUMBAI: BSNL has decided to revise its broadband plans anticipating the wave that Reliance Jio’s GigaFiber is expected to bring. Two of Bharat Fiber service plans have seen an increase in price where benefits have been increased.

The first plan of Rs 777 has been providing 500 GB per month but in the revised plan will give 600 GB a month while the price has been increased to Rs 849 a month. The speed has been retained at 50 Mbps but after using up the data limit, it goes down to 2 Mbps.

In the second plan, subscribers will get 55 GB as opposed to 50 GB with a speed of 100 Mbps which goes down to 4Mbps after using up the limit. The price of this plan has gone up from Rs 3999 to Rs 4499.

BSNL’s aim is to get more people to subscribe to its service. Reliance Jio, it has been rumoured, will offer plans for Rs 600 and provide 100 GB data a month at a speed of 50 Mbps. In addition, they will also get free calling on the landline service and a Jio Home TV subscription with 600 TV channels.
