I recently was checking the bsnl site and found that bsnl was offering higher unlimited broadband speeds at twice the price of previous connection for home users.

They are offering unlimited 512 kbps for 1350 per month for home users. I went ahead and got an account.

And I have to say its a please to surf at these speeds. I can’t wait for the days of 1 mbps or 8 mbps.

If you are not good with number here is how good the speed is. You can watch a you tube video without buffering. Before with the 256 kbps you had to wait for the video to pre load. Now with this new connection you can watch you tube without buffering.

You get around 60 kb speeds. Its takes around 1 minute to download 3 Mb. In 9 hours I download 1.25 Gb (I download a lot of video podcasts by the way).

So all I can say is go get one and have fun.

Its sad state of affairs when other competitors can’t even come close to competing with the bsnl.

None of the other providers give speeds like this at this price point. See for yourselves Reliance, Airtel etc.

According to the reports recently. Iphone could be coming soon to BSNL. Which is great because BSNL offer an unlimited data plan for pre paid customers.

Unlimited data plan is a must if you want to use the iphone fully. So its a good news that bsnl will be getting the iphone with 3G service soon. Bsnl are the only providers who give unlimited data plan at the moment.

I am currently using the iphone with bsnl pre paid sim with unlimited data plan. The only thing I miss with bsnl is the roaming facility. I have to pay by the usage when I am roaming. I would pay twice what I pay or even around 600 Rs per month for a unlimited data plan that works any where in India even when roaming.

Hope bsnl fixes that when they release iphone with bsnl.
