BSNL was established in the early 2000s, and since then, it has taken over the telecom market of India. Before the surge of private telecom companies, BSNL ruled the market. It is one of the biggest public sector companies providing a comprehensive range of telecom services in our country. With changing times, BSNL has ventured into Broadband services and provides some of the cheapest unlimited data plans in the country.

Many homes now choose to go for the FTTH network, which means the newest fiber optic cable technology provides the broadband network. It is much faster and reliable. BSNL has also launched Bharat Fibre (FTTH) network service. FTTH of all brands will be better than broadband connection via a landline.

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.
