Last month, the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL), owing a popular demand, extended its BB240 monthly broadband plan. Now, the state-run telecom-service provider has increased the per day data consumption limit by 10 times!
Prior to the announcement, BSNL's BB249 used to offer unlimited data with FUP (Fair Usage Policy) cap of 1GB high-speed data for 2mbps and after the limit, the users used to get Internet at 1mbps speed. Other benefits included unlimited night-time calling—9:00 pm to 7:00 am—from Mondays to Saturday, while on Sundays, it was extended for the entire day.
