BSNL FTTH Plans and DSL Broadband Plans | BSNL Bharatnet Udyami Scheme

As you know, BSNL is the first and oldest telecommunication company with many fixed-line, mobile, and broadband plans. Now, the newly introduced BSNL FTTH plans are very popular.

The state-owned telecommunication firm still has a vision for its future services even though the private telecom operators are very competitive.

As a public sector organization, BSNL tried to serve the people even in remote areas that were difficult to access. Most people remain drawn to this social responsibility, and BSNL is an important part of their lives in various ways.

We are not trying to conceal the fact that in earlier stages, some employees did not provide their customers with good service in some areas of the country. Hence, some customers may be inclined to quit the service of the company.

Now, the condition is much improved, and as a customer, we do not hesitate to complain if there is a bad experience from any BSNL official.

But they offer the best and most economical service in the country, even in this scenario.

BSNL unlimited broadband plans are the best in the class when compared to other private companies, especially BSNL combo broadband plans. But the problem is that no one is even bothering to compare or assess their broadband tariffs.

Here we are bringing out the available postpaid broadband plans for Infobits readers. So you can easily compare and select the best BSNL internet plans as per your requirements and budget.

You can easily apply for a new connection through the BSNL portal or by visiting your nearest customer care centre.

Also, you can pay all your bills or recharge your mobile account through Amazon Pay in a hassle-free and reliable manner.

How Can You Apply for a BSNL FTTH Connection?

To apply for a BSNL FTTH connection, go to your local BSNL customer service centre or apply online at the BSNL website.

You may also contact your local service provider, which offers BSNL Fiber.

During the application procedure, you must provide the appropriate documentation and select the preferred FTTH plan.

BSNL Fiber Installation Charges

There is a normal installation charge of ₹250 for all BSNL ADSL connections (copper connections) and ₹500 for FTTH broadband connections (fibre connections) if we are going for monthly plans.

These charges are one-time installation charges, and they will be waived for customers who opt for annual or higher payment options.

According to the most recent reports, new consumers who prefer BSNL Bharat Fiber (FTTH), Landline, or Broadband will get a 100% discount on installation costs till 31^st March 2024.

This one-time installation charge refers to both main and indirect FTTH connections provided by LCOs/TIPs/MSOs.

According to the latest announcement, all new FTTH connections that have been enabled before 31^st March 2024 will obtain up to a Rs 500 discount on their first monthly fixed charges.

New customers must pay BSNL FTTH modem charges at the time of installation. The customer can select the type of modem based on his or her chosen plan and usage requirements.

For plans greater than 100Mbps, it is always recommended to use a dual-band wifi router, which will provide better performance than single-band FTTH modems.

If you obtained your BSNL Bharat Fiber (FTTH) connection via a Local Cable Operator, TIP, or MSO, you must pay the modem charges directly to the BSNL franchisee at the time of connection.

Charges to be paid to LCO would be in the range of Rs 4000/- to Rs 4500/-. This sum includes expenses for optical fibre modems (ONT/ONU) as well as OFC laying and splicing up to a maximum length of 75 meters.

If you need to lay an optical fibre cable for more than 75 meters from the nearest tapping point, you may have to pay the LCO directly for the additional optical fibre cable.

The cost per meter will range from Rs 10/m to Rs 15/m depending on your location (rural/urban, etc.).

Note: All the plan rates are as and when this article is published. Even though we are regularly updating the information, it is better to confirm with BSNL before your final decision.

Free Fiber Modem and Installation Offer From BSNL

Customers with selected BSNL Bharat Fibre internet plans will get a free single-band or double-band Wi-Fi router according to their plan.

Customers who subscribe for long-term 6-month or 12-month commitments will receive a free router from BSNL. Please keep in mind that this deal is only valid for new connections.

The single-band Wi-Fi router is sufficient for most BSNL users since the company’s top bandwidth package delivers 300 Mbps speed.

New BSNL customers may obtain the single-band Wi-Fi ONT for free if they commit to a six-month payment plan.

This essentially implies that if you subscribe to a six-month BSNL plan, you will be eligible for a free Wi-Fi router.

To take advantage of this deal, consumers have to buy the Fibre Basic Plus, Fibre Super Star Premium Plus, or Fibre Premium Plus OTT plan.

Bharatnet Udyami Scheme

As part of the Bharatnet Udyami Scheme, BSNL provides free installation and a free modem in rural areas of select telecom circles.

This means that new and existing consumers in certain locations may get new FTTH connections for free, with just the monthly cost and a security deposit to pay.

A customer has to pay the minimum monthly cost of ₹399 under the Bharatnet Udyami Scheme. Furthermore, if you choose a 6-month plan under this scheme, the consumer only needs to pay ₹1998, and the effective monthly rent is reduced to ₹333.

However, in this scheme, customers receive locked fibre ONTs that are inaccessible for logging in and making changes. As a result, you are unable to modify even your Wi-Fi SSID or password.

You must get in touch with BSNL or a franchisee for this purpose. However, BSNL will configure your desired Wi-Fi name and password if you share them during installation time.

Special Discount For Existing Urban Area Customers

BSNL has offered a special discount offer for existing landline and broadband users in urban areas who migrate to the high-speed broadband service Bharat Fiber (FTTH).

A BSNL user may earn a maximum discount of ₹1200 when upgrading an existing telephone or internet connection to FTTH (Fiber Internet) Service.

Existing customers in all circles who are willing to switch their landline and broadband (on copper) connections to FTTH connections will receive a monthly discount of Rs. 200/- for the first six months.

When switching to FTTH, BSNL customers can preserve their old landline numbers.

How to Migrate to BSNL Fiber Connection (BSNL FTTH)?

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), a state-owned telecom company, allows existing landline or DSL broadband customers to move to Bharat Fiber services while keeping their present landline number.

Customers with landlines can move their numbers to Bharat Fiber Voice or voice-data combo connections in this manner.

BSNL has an option for existing landlines, and DSL broadband customers can now request an upgrade to convert their existing connection to Bharat Fiber at any time.

Users may take advantage of timely promotional offers such as free installation, free modems, and so on.

According to the company, the execution of this program to migrate to Bharat Fiber connections is being offered due to the huge demand from subscribers across India.

Even though BSNL FTTH was available earlier, most current clients remained on their previous plan since there was no way to move to the new FTTH without losing their old BSNL landline number.

However, under this fresh scheme, old landline and broadband subscribers can move their landline numbers to Bharat Fiber Voice or Bharat Fiber Voice and broadband connections.

Previously, telecom couldn’t switch landline consumers to FTTH by keeping the same phone number.

BSNL has now created and executed a new software upgrade in its system to convert its current landline numbers to fibre categories. Existing landline lines may be simply upgraded to BSNL FTTH with this update.

However, you should be aware that the migration option is only accessible to landline subscribers on ZTE, UTStar, and Huawei next-generation network (NGN) switches.

The company is presently switching all existing landline subscribers to NGN.

BSNL Fiber services give each user a public IP address. Double VLAN tagging protects consumer data and activities.

Customers may also make free landline calls throughout India using fibre services. BSNL will also issue GST invoices to customers.

Those who want to modify or migrate to a BSNL fibre connection should follow the steps outlined below.

• Submit a request to the nearest BSNL service centre for the fibre connection migration. At the time of application, customers can choose from any of the existing Bharat Fiber plans.
• Customers’ existing deposits will be immediately taken into account in invoicing.
• After the conversion to BSNL Bharat Fiber, the current landline number and broadband user ID would stay unchanged.
• Customers must pay an initial payment for migration to FTTH for fibre modem charges, installation charges, and a fibre modem security deposit if renting a modem. Most of the time, based on the current special offers, you will receive reductions on this cost. You must check this with BSNL personnel.
• If the connection is provided by a local cable operator or telecom infrastructure franchisee, just the installation fee is relevant and must be paid to them.
• Customers can also buy a suitable modem (ONT) for BSNL FTTH from the market. The Netlink HG323DAC is a type of modem you can buy from Amazon.

Customers can also book BSNL FTTH connections using the Book My Fiber Portal or the My BSNL App.
