What happens to new BSNL Bharat Fiber broadband plans after December 29?

[Ninja007]

The plan is showing till 29 dec in the corner..what does that mean the offer is time limited or something ?

What is the point of migrating to these plans? I called customer care, they said after 29th december, you will be shifted back to old plan or 777 50mbps 500 gb if new connection

It's pretty clear that's not going to happen. Jio would keep expanding availability. And bsnl would have no choice but to keep these plans. Wired broadband prices are not going up for a few years. Until jio kills all the small and mid sized operators.

for those who opted for these new plans, what will happen after 90days (Dec 29) ?? Will they moved to other plans ? Like they did for 777plan to 849 plan. ?? Any ideas ?

@irongiant91 different people got different replies from CC. Looks like they are not at all prepared or properly informed regarding these plan changes

From my previous experience those who opted the new plans within the promotional time period can continue the plans.

I wouldnt trust Jio to give plans forever, they like to steal all of the market and then raise prices. They are just trying to kill the competition, will be lucky if there are more than Jio and Airtel within few years with mobile networks in India

Killing competition isn’t so easy in broadband like cellular. Jio or Airtel can never be available in every nook and corner like mobile. Local ISPs are here to stay

individual cable guys? probably not. smaller isps like excitel? very likely. in the end, jio would likely end up partnering with cable guys (just like they are partnering with kirana stores in retail) and eventually go for the kill.

They will just buy the major local ISPs in each state, that has got to be their plan to expand
