To compete with 4G operators, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is rapidly expanding its Public Wi-Fi services in major cities and tourist destinations across the country. Till now, BSNL has been offering duration based unlimited usage prepaid Wi-Fi plans to all retail customers.
Now, the PSU has decided to revise all existing prepaid W-Fi Plans from duration based to volume based from 1st February 2016 on wards on PAN India basis. BSNL commissioned more than 650 Wi-Fi Hotspots and plans to install a total of 2,500 hotspots in the current financial year itself.

| Plan Name | Price (Inclusive of Service Tax) | Exisiting | Revised |
| Wi-Fi Duration | Data Volume with One Day validity | ||
| BSNL WiFi 30 | Rs 30 | 30 Minutes | 200 MB with One Day Validity |
