More than a crore BSNL landline broadband customers will get a minimum internet speed of 2 megabits per second against existing speed of 512 kilobits per second on their existing plans.
This move could trigger a drop in data speed tariffs of private Telecom operators.
Union Communications minister Ravi Shankar Prasad launched the services in Gurgaon on Monday. He said govt has made a number of reforms in BSNL.
