I applied for BSNL broadband at Khadki BSNL office in Pune and received the connection one month after that.
That too with so many if and but. Compulsory landline connection for which I have to pay additional Rs.100 per month.
They give 512 KBPS in Rs.500. For the same amount private companies like Tikona and Hathway gives more than 1 MbPs speed plan.
But above things were best part of BSNL. Worst part starts now.
If you face any issue and internet stops working due to any issue. Like wire broked or modem got damaged, then you have to wait for so long that you will forget what is internet.
They take million of years to come and fix the issue.
So my suggestion is take BSNL broadband only if you don't have any other work in life and you are ready run to its office daily.
