BSNL to Launch Cheap Unlimited Internet Plans

State owned BSNL has decided to launch its wireless data services using CDMA 2000 IX technology. Reliance and Tata Telecommunications already offer CDMA based wireless data service, but the tariff is very pricy and bandwidth caps make this service unaffordable for most users. BSNL aims to revolutionize wireless internet for laptop as well as home users by offering cheap internet service. Presently, the wireless data service is available in locations where BSNL’s CDMA IX MSC network is available. The tariff has already been put up on BSNL’s website.

NIC (Network Interface Card) offers speeds upto 144 Kbps, whereas EVDO (Evolution-Data Optimized) can deliver speeds upto 2 Mbps. I’m not so excited with this announcement from BSNL, as they have hardly covered India with their CDMA network. Poor customer support and frequent outage seems to be haunting DataOne customers all over India.

  • Thank you progress of Indian space agency and telecommunication satellites, Internet and phone calls became cheaper, but I see from past 6 years almost zero progress in this field,,,,
  • Shankar Ganesh: Well, it's actually possible. I've been using both phone and internet together. That's we call it ADSL right. Better check back with your Telephone department.
  • Ahh.. I can't use net when I attend a phone call.. but they say it's possible. Many more issues. As Sankar said, customer support is really worse :(
  • Ken Xu,
    Is internet that costly in Indonesia. I cant imagine browsing for 3500/- rupees per month. :D
  • Nirmal: I guess Ken Xu is talking about 2Mbps Unlimited. Even here in India it costs you around 3800 rupees, which makes it cheaper in Indonesia.
