Within few days of Reliance Jio’s initiation to take registrations for Jio GigaFiber broadband service, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is up in arms with its own revamped plans to counter some competition to Jio. As per the report, BSNL is soon going to come up with a broadband plan that helps users to gain access to a FUP limit of up to 700GB at a speed of 20Mbps for the Rs.699 tariff. The revamped BSNL broadband plan named as BBG Combo ULD 669 is currently available in Chennai and comes with a post-FUP speed of 2Mbps. Jio has started taking registrations for its GigaFiber plan but there is no announcement till date about its public rollout in India. But to take the competition, national rivals like BSNL are getting things ready to counter Jio GigaFiber plans.

The tele company has recently updated its latest revision to the BSNL plan and has upgraded the limits for both download speeds and FUP limit, a report by TelecomTalk said. In previous plans, the Rs. 699 plan came with a broadband speed of up to 10 Mbps and a FUP of 100 GB of data. After the revision was done, the speed was said to have been doubled up to 20 Mbps and FUP limit too soared up to 700GB of data. But the point to be noted is the broadband plan with a tariff of Rs. 699 from BSNL is as for now available only in once city – Chennai. So for everyone to have this plan pan-India, we need to wait and see if BSNL provides it.

The plan is very much similar to broadband plans offered by the company, but the new plan with Rs. 699 tariff plans are also said to have an offer of a fixed telephone line (landline service). Apart from that, the tele company is also said to be providing unlimited voice calls on the national basis to any network within the Rs. 699 plan.

As the news of Jio GigaFiber spreads, other big companies like Bharti Airtel to has begun expanding its own service of broadband data offerings in more cities. Apart from that, DTH service provider Tata Sky too has started its own broadband service. BSNL had in last month, revised its premium FTTH broadband plans which include plans with tariffs Rs.3999, Rs. 5999, Rs. 9,999 and Rs. 16,999. Under these plans, the consumer gets offers up to 3TB of FUP data and up to 100 Mbps of FUP speeds throughout their monthly validity. But after the data limit is over, the speed drops to 4Mbps.
