KeynoteBSNL Broadband plans and FTTH plans are almost the same, but the difference lies in the installation price of both networks. Basic installation charges are a minimum of Rs.1500. The FTTH modem costs Rs. 3000. The installation price and modem of FTTH are on a higher side compared to the primary broadband services. However, if FTTH is available in your area, you should go for the FTTH service as it provides faster speed and a better network as there is a decrease in the number of network drops.
