prepaid really makes sense not because prepaid phones account for 80 - 90 percent of total cellphones. All people who use this forum must be techies. I am also a techie by education but currently a homemaker. Most techies know what MB is and what a GB is. So, even if we choose Rs.250 plan, we will check usage and will most probably not overstep. But not all 2.5 million broadband subscribers in India are techies.Take the case of my husband who is a doctor. Before three months, when I came here after marriage, I came to know that he was in Home 250 plan and was paying approximately Rs.1000 as monthly bill for broadband excluding phone charges. Well, he was thinking that these plans were exactly similar to BSNL cellular's postpaid plan where we pay Rs.225 as rental and pay above it for talking. Only after i explained, he understood.I must also note that, in BSNL's bill, BSNL mentions something called as usage charges. They actually mean how much we have overspent above our plan. So, shouldnt they call them as extra usage charges or over usage charges or as I reccomend - It must be called as over usage penalty or over usage fine.I also know a relative of mine who two years ago took a two month trial of bsnl broadband, but spent rs.5000 because only 400 MB is free.so, if you want to sell broadband to non-techies, (non-techies includes well educated people also, not just people who have not completed college)prepaid is the answer.doesnt bsnl cell prepaid have e-recharge?If no, then shame.sorry, you mentioned no online recharge?they can, no problem. they easily can
