How will it affect Broadband users. Will there be any revision in the broadband tariff?
no
It will effect only for LL customers
Again the land line will be closed as the sub is using mobile. However I suggest to make all nos. as CUG or centrex within the city limits or ssa and can increase the rent even more than 240/- with which I hope the more land connections.
