What speeds are you getting on BSNL Broadband 199/299 internet plans?

Hi Everyone,

As you all know, Bsnl claims of providing 20 Mbps speed on 199 & 299 plan but in reality how much speed you guys are getting? Please post your broadband speed results here.

mine is capped to 3.5 mbps, whats the point of advertising 20mbps when they have to cap it to a fixed rate almost six times lower than real plan.

I am getting 1Mbps on 299 Plan of 20 Mbps.

In order to get 20mbps, one needs to stay inside the BSNL exchange. Even if your house and BSNL exchange are in the same street, you may not get 20mbps.

are these plans also available for old users?

@Karan11282 It is available for new users only.For old users it is available if you only have landline connection.So,what I would do is disconnect broadband and then apply for this plans.

It will not be applicable if you unsubscribe and resubscribe,you need to be a new broadband user who has never activated broadband on the landline.The best way would be to apply for a new connection.

ADSL and BSNL is a deadly combo.

as @pothi said
DSL speed is inversely proportional to the distance of your house from the exchange. => As the distance increases speed decreases.

Actually, it's very hard to get ~10Mbps over BSNL's copper cables if your home is more than a KM away from the exchange. For obtaining the described speeds, check the plan you're having is feasible through fiber. Ask your LCO and exchange to provide the same plan over Fiber.
Some other DSL plans are available over it

It was a promotional plan for 90 days. I think it got expired now. Please check if it’s available in any circle/SSA
