What is P2 and what is P3? What is the difference between them?

The term P2 refers to the equipment that was initially purchased by BSNL for broadband communication. This equipment is capable of delivering only broadband to the customer and nothing more. The term P3 refers to the multiplay equipment. P3 equipment is advanced in comparision with P2. P3 equipment is also referred as multiplay equipment. Which means, that the P3 equipment can provide Broadband, IP TV, VoD, Audio Video talk back, Interactive services between TVs, many other value added services like MMS can be proviced.

For a normal broadband user, it really does not matter whether it is P2 or P3 as the bandwidth extended is only 2 Mbps and 8 Mbps in few plans. Some value added service and IP TV are possible with multiplay only and hence the name multiplay. For simple broadband usage, it is all the same on both the equipment.
