BSNL Rs 249 broadband plan: You should these 5 things

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), has extended the validity of its entry-level broadband plan- BB249 again. The plan, if regularised will not have an expiry date. BSNL had earlier the BB249 broadband plan on a promotional basis until June 30, 2018, but the plan doesn’t have any 90-day expiry period, now. 

The plan is offered by the telco across the country. Benefits such as 8 Mbps download speed, unlimited free calls on BSNL network within India and unlimited voice calls to any network between 10:30 PM to 6 AM are offered by BSNL.

Offers 8 Mbps speeds until 5GB
The plan offers 8 Mbps of download/upload speed. However, the 5 Mbps is limited to just 5GB, post which the speeds will be reduced.

Unlimited data at 1 Mbps Speed Post 5GB
Once after you consume the allotted 5GB of data, BSNL is offering unlimited data. The post-FUP speed is 1 Mbps, and there’s no FUP at this speed though.

Valid on the pan-India basis with a security deposit of Rs 500
BSNL offered this plan on a pan-India basis and the same continues going forward. At the time of installation, the telco will collect Rs 500 as a security deposit and the minimum hire period for the same is one month.

Unlimited Voice Calling
Like other BSNL broadband plans, this also comes with voice calls. The telco is providing 24 hours of free voice calling to a BSNL network in India. While the voice calling is limited between 10:30 PM to 6 AM to other numbers. This plan is also eligible for voice calling on all Sunday to any network within India.
