BSNL Landlines Bundle Broadband

For every new landline connection installed across the country, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) will offer a bundled Broadband connection at no additional cost, the company said. And, users will be able to activate the connection any time.

The bigger plan is that 99.9 percent of all new BSNL landlines will come with this facility, which will also be extended to rural areas of the country.

The next step would be to make all existing landline connections Internet-enabled. With the entire process likely to reach completion by this month end, all BSNL landline users will be able to log onto the Internet sans registering for Sancharnet connections.

The catch however is that speeds for these connections will be restricted to about 56 Mbps -- somewhat like dial-up connections -- and not like regular Broadband connections with speeds up to 256 Mbps.
