BSNL today announced the launch of Special Combo Fibre (FTTH) plans of landline and broadband exclusively for honorable MPs of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Till now, BSNL was offering stand alone broadband and landline tariff plans to MPs. As per this latest tariff revision, BSNL has introduced special Combo plans which offer landline as well as broadband services bundled together.
As we reported in April 2021, BSNL started providing Bharat Air Fibre (BAF) and Bharat Fibre (FTTH) connections to MPs of Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha through franchisees / telecom infrastructure providers (TIPs/LCOs/MSOs). Earlier, these special plans were given directly through BSNL only. If BSNL’s copper or fiber network is not available (not feasible), the services can be availed via BSNL’s authorized franchisees/TIPs also.
