100GB @20mbps for 499+GST - circle specific plan

More details are available here

BSNL is introducing approximately one new plan per quarter in TN. This is the latest FTTH plan in TN circle. Not sure if it is available on other circles, though.

This is the lowest plan for FTTH users in TN and is expected to be available only till the end of March 2020.

Looks like its a pan India plan, it's displayed in BSNL Kerala website as well -- -CUSTOMER VALUE-

Appears decent for low usage customers.

For 750 you get 300GB, Hotstar and Amazon prime. And 50mbps. lol makes no sense to go for lower plans unless you really want to just save that extra 250.

Amazon Prime is free only for a year.

Are you sure? I didnt see any limit..

What happens at the end of one year or the offer period?
BSNL eligible postpaid and broadband landline plan users get 12 months of Amazon Prime subscription worth Rs. 999/year at no additional cost. Post offer period, users will be renewed and charged at the prevailing price of Prime membership (as on www.amazon.in/prime) on their postpaid bills.

Bummer. So they will charge 999 for Amazon prime in BSNL bill? Damn

Yes and I am not sure whether they'd charge GST on top of that 🤷‍♂️, in which case the total would come to around 1180 Rs. I'm planning to cancel the BSNL Amazon Prime subscription towards the end of the subscription period.

How do you cancel it :O

That's a good question, I thought I saw a cancel option somewhere, but I was mistaken. In Amazon it just says the plan is activated through BSNL Postpaid.




I guess like usual would have to fight with BSNL on Twitter to get it cancelled. 😡

As per BSNL, we'd get an SMS a couple of days before the renewal date, with a link to opt-out of Amazon Prime subscription auto-renewal. If we ignore that, then Amazon subscription is renewed automatically. As @varkey mentioned already, not sure if GST would be added on top of 999 for Amazon Prime.

Initially, I planned to switch the plan to something less than 745 so that it gets cancelled automatically just before renewal, then after a month, I can go back to a plan higher than 745. However, BSNL made it costly to switch plans as they charge 1-month advance for every migration!

For example, I was in 777 plan initially (offered as the minimum plan for all FTTH customers). After about 45 days, I switched to 749 (via online) as it offers more value. I was charged 749 extra on the next bill.

If they ever charge GST on top of that 999, I plan to cancel it on the next opportunity, assuming the cancellation process goes through as expected.

I think people have posted (and also BSNL has posted on twitter) a link to unsubscribe from Amazon prime. I don't remember or have it with me at the moment though.
