BSNL Tamil Nadu Circle is at the forefront of revolutionizing wired line internet services with its Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technology. FTTH service is offering high-speed unlimited data ranging from 30 Mbps to 300 Mbps, along with unlimited voice calls and superior Quality of Service (QoS) to suit the diverse customer needs across Business, Commercial, Institutional, and Residential sectors. With value-added OTT services, BSNL ensures an enriched digital experience for all users.
With an impressive count of around 4.6 Lakhs FTTH connections, BSNL has successfully extended its network to every corner of Tamil Nadu, including remote rural areas and challenging terrains.
Aligned with its vision of digital empowerment, BSNL has initiated the ambitious "BSNL Mission Mode Fiberization" project in Tamil Nadu. This pioneering endeavor seeks to transition all current copper-based landline and broadband connections to high-speed fiber connections within a span of six months. As part of this initiative, around 1.2 lakh copper connections in the Tamil Nadu circle will be converted to fiber, facilitating enhanced internet speeds and connectivity for customers across the region.
As part of this transformation, customers will receive a complimentary optical fiber modem and will not incur any installation charges. Furthermore, customers can retain their existing telephone numbers, ensuring a seamless transition to the most reliable fiber network.
By transitioning from copper-based to fiber service, data speeds will significantly improve, ranging from a minimum of 30 Mbps to a maximum of 300 Mbps, compared to the previous 10 Mbps offered in copper broadband service. Additionally, voice services are included free of charge with all FTTH data plans, allowing customers to make calls across India without incurring additional charges.
BSNL’s FTTH plans offer tailored solutions for diverse needs, providing customers with varying data speeds and additional services such as OTT and static IP. Unlimited voice calls are also extended with each and every plan. Options range from 30 Mbps at Rs.399/- to 300 Mbps at Rs.1799/-. Static IPs are available at a nominal rate for FTTH monthly plans exceeding Rs.599/-. For budget-conscious users, there are plans with 10 Mbps speeds starting at Rs.249 in rural areas and Rs.299 in urban areasalong with unlimited Voice calls.
BSNL Tamil Nadu Circle encourages all its esteemed Copper customers to seize the golden opportunity to upgrade their Landline service to Fiber by visiting the nearest BSNL office or customer service center. Furthermore, BSNL has authorized BSNL FTTH partners to reach out to copper customers and facilitate their transition to Fiber.
