Initiating a price war in the broadband segment, state-run BSNL on Monday announced a reduction in post-paid broadband tariffs by up to 75 per cent. BSNL offers tariff in two categories — home users and general users. Under both categories, tariffs are available in limited and unlimited downloads.
To give a push to its broadband business, BSNL has reformulated its existing post-paid broadband tariff structure, it said in a statement. Official sources said that with the implementation of new tariffs the entry threshold would come down from 2,150 to 850 rupees only translating into a reduction of over 60 per cent.
It has reduced download charges from 50-60 paise per megabyte[MB] to 20 paise per MB for up to 5 gigabyte and 10 paise per MB thereafter. This nearly 75 per cent cut in tariff will be applicable for customers having plans of 250-700 rupees.
Additional download charges in limited broadband tariff plans has also been reduced to 10 paise per MB for all customers paying more than 999 rupees fixed monthly charges.
