BSNL competing with other telecom private players steps up broadband plans over bharat fiber ftth services and now offers OTT benefits through additional packages.
Public Telecommunciations company Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has started offering users over-the-top (OTT) benefits when subscribing to bharat fiber broadband plans.
Telecom Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited - BSNL began offering users over-the-top (OTT) benefits when purchases monthly rental broadband plans. The telecommunications company has been offering broadband services for many years.
But since Airtel and Jio unveiled their affordable fiber broadband offerings, BSNL's internet business has declined. To compensate for this decline in demand for broadband services, BSNL also unveiled its fiber offerings. But the one thing that BSNL's fiber offerings lacked were the OTT benefits.
But no longer, BSNL allows users to purchase an affordable add-on with their broadband plans through which they can access multiple OTT platforms - more details about this continue to read.
OTT BSNL add-on package details
BSNL offers an OTT add-on package at two different rates. Users who purchase the package for the first three months will receive it for Rs 129 per month. After the first three months have passed, the plan rate will increase to Rs 199 per month.
According to a report from BSNL TARIFF, the add-on package will provide users with subscription to Voot Select, SonyLIV Special, ZEE5 Premium, YuppTV Live (all NCF channels), YuppTV FDFS (first day show), YuppTV movies, support and also content marketing. Please note that the above fees do not include the Goods and Services Tax (GST).
BSNL will offer this additional broadband OTT package in each operating circle. The add-on package will be effective from January 18th 2021. Both BSNL's regular ADSL broadband customers and Bharat Fiber customers are eligible to purchase this OTT add-on package from January 18th. It is worth noting that all the subscriptions offered to users will allow access to the content of the premium library of these platforms.
While the monthly cost may seem small when users see the type of OTT package they are getting, don't forget that other Internet Service Providers (ISPs) offer OTT benefits for free with their broadband plans. Airtel and Jio offer a ton of OTT benefits to users with their broadband plans at no extra cost, and their fiber plans are almost the same rate as BSNL.
Although BSNL has stepped up its broadband gaming, it will be interesting to see how consumers see and react to this OTT add-on package. For the uninitiated, BSNL also offers a free Disney + Hotstar Premium subscription with their select fiber broadband plans, namely "Superstar 300GB / month" (Rs 779 / month), "Superstar 500GB / month" ( Rs 949 / month), "Fiber Premium" (Rs 999 / month) and "Fiber Ultra" (Rs 1499 / month).
