Even though your BSNL Fiber connection (Bharat Fiber / FTTH) is working fine, you may feel that your browsing speed has reduced very much. Many of our readers were already raised their queries about this slowness issues reporting towards the month end.
The same may happen to BSNL Broadband customers (Broadband via traditional copper cable) also. Here, the real problem is with your subscribed tariff plan and not with BSNL FTTH or BSNL Broadband connectivity. As we all know, BSNL offers a wide variety of Broadband and Bharat Fiber (FTTH) plans for its fixed line customers all over India. Most of these plans are having FUP limits. FUP means Fair Usage Policy.
What is Fair Usage Policy (FUP) ? Why it is needed ?
Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is implemented by Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
keeping in view the fact that a small number of customers may otherwise use an
excessive amount of the network bandwidth and impairs the experience of a
large majority. Hence, through this policy, ISPs including BSNL seek to address
this imbalance and give all customers the opportunity to experience the network
in the same way.
Under the Fair Usage Policy (FUP), BSNL offers various tariff plans to suit the
varying data download requirement of the customers. The purpose is that a
customer with the need of low data download in a month, is not charged more
as different customers have different data download requirements.
BSNL has defined the FUP across all the unlimited broadband plans with varying
charges and varying data download limit. This FUP is different for different
plans.
Is there any additional charges from BSNL for getting unlimited broadband internet after crossing FUP usage limit ?
No. After crossing FUP usage limit, customers can continue to enjoy unlimited broadband internet access at a reduced speed as per their subscribed tariff plan. BSNL is having plans with daily FUP limit as well as monthly FUP limit. Once customer reaches to certain data transfer limit (defined in the particular
plan), speed is reduced as stated in the plan while unlimited data download is
guaranteed at reduced speed. For monthly FUP plans, customer’s higher speed & data transfer limit is automatically being restored at the start of next monthly billing cycle. For daily FUP plans, broadband speed and usage limit is automatically being restored everyday at 00:00 Hrs.
