General Information

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd – Broadband, more commonly known as BSNL Broadband, had successfully made high-speed Internet access possible all over India. What they offer is an authentic Asynchronous DSL connection, which passes through the same sturdy cable lines used for their telephony services. And because BSNL is one of the world’s biggest telecommunications company, you can be sure that they have got most of India covered.

BSNL is proud to say that they have put the nation at par with the current world standards in terms of broadband Internet technology. They are able to provide optimum service with the same features offered by advanced nations like the U.S., U.K., and Canada. BSNL Broadband has definitely made sophisticated Internet connection services reachable to India’s vast population.

Right now, the company is offering an Internet surfing speed of as fast as 2 Mbps to both the home and business users. The slowest speed they offer is at 256 kbps. The minimum subscription term is one month but just recently, they started to offer a temporary connection plan that allows for at least 15 days Internet service.

In the next few years, they are aiming to provide speeds to as much as 8 Mpbs, both to their home and business clients. They are also looking at a locally hosted Virtual Private Network service for the customers who require it to avail. And soon enough, they would be setting up a tariff system that includes a prepaid plan especially made for subscribers who want to break free from the hassle of paying regular monthly charges.

BSNL guarantees an always-on High-speed Internet access to all their clients. And this can be availed of instantly, once they decide to sign up with one of their low-cost service plans. Each of these plans is scalable. It means that customers can easily upgrade to a service plan of a higher speed and better feature should the need for that arises.

BSNL’s Internet service is also capable of multicasting. Multicasting is the ability to broadcast video services over the Internet on a real-time basis. It is a technology that is widely used in the U.S., particularly in the fields of telemedicine and distance education. Aside from this, video and audio conferencing is also presented. Live and time-shifted television, video-on-demand, and interactive gaming are just some of the many services resident on the BSNL’s broadband server.

BSNL is the first company to ever launch Internet broadband services in India, more specifically in key cities such as Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata.
