Hi!!
I am from Kolkata, I am planing to go for BSNL Broadband & I dont have any Landline connection at my place, so can somebody please tell me what would be the charges for getting one Broadband connection from BSNL & how much time does it take to provide this connection. I already spoke with one of the BSNL Representative & they informed me that initially you have to pay Rs. 500 as Installation charge while submitting the BSNL Broadband form & later you have to Pay one month Rental as security deposit this security deposit is Refundable & it will come in your first Broadband Bill. I have just heard from some of my friend that the Installation charges can be waived off if you install your broadband by your own. Is it true??? I will be gowing for Home 500C Plan & I was been informed that there is no charges for the modem. Modem is absolutely free. Please help me out for knowing the exact charges & any other hidden cost for taking BSNL Broadband for KOLKATA Circle.
 
Do not opt for self install if you are not an expert. Let BSNL do the initial settings.
