Oftentimes people living in rural areas complain of bad connectivity and internet companies not providing enough services in regions of lesser connectivity. It is difficult to get broadband and FTTH plans in such areas.
State-owned telco Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) gives Bharat Air FIber Services for such remote areas with lesser connectivity. These services enable homes in rural areas with broadband, voice and IPTV services — it is different from the wired broadband service which is easily available to users living in urban areas.
The AirFibre plans work on radio-based solutions and are wireless.
BSNL now introduced two new AirFiber plans that will give a maximum of 80Mbps download speed and One Free Static IP address.
The Airfibre Ultra and Air Fibre Ultra Plus plans also give unlimited calls and are priced at Rs 2995 and Rs 6995 respectively. Both plans have a download speed of 80 Mbps with FUP limits of 5000GB and 7500GB respectively.
After the FUP limit is reached, the speed is then reduced to 15 Mbps and 25 Mbps respectively. If users choose to pay for these plans for 12 months, they get one month of free service.
