The prices:

  • 256Kbps Unlimited Plan = Rs750/per momth
  • 512Kbps Unlimited Plan = Rs900/ per month (earlier was 1350/-)
  • 1Mbps Unlimited Plan = Rs1000/ per month ( New Plan)
  • 2Mbps Unlimited Plan = Rs1100 / per month (New Plan)




Here the copy of Ad:

However, At this point its not known that its applicable all over India or valid only in Chennai telecom circle.also, it does not say if Fair-Usage-Policy is applicable or not. so readers are advised to confirm it.

[Update]

This plan has a fair usage limit applied on all plans, once you cross that data usage your speed would be reduced to 256kbps, which bad. So I would advise you against these plans

BSNL has listened to you and have enabled national roaming on Evdo/NIC data cards. According to a announcement on BSNL’s website romaing is now available all customer without paying any extra charges by default; subject to network feasibility.

Now you can take your data card anywhere in India and browse internet, the only condition is that area should have a CDMA network nearby. earlier, bsnl data card(NIC/EvDO) only used to work in subscribers home state. this feature makes bsnl data a true Internet-on-Go Solution. till now anyone needing national roaming had to depend on upon their crawling GPRS connections or internet card from Tata  & Reliance which costs a bomb compared to bsnl affordable data card. By enabling romaing is trying to compete with private telecom operators who provide nationwide wireless data service.

Now The Bad news is:
Bsnl has hiked monthly rentals by 15% for all customers. this hike is effective immediate for new customers. for existing customers, there is no change for now and would count getting billed at old price. but after six months; from January 2010. they would be burdened with increased prices.the revised rentals are as under :

Sl. No. Particulars Tariff of NIC Card (Unlimited) in Rs. Tariff of EVDO Card (Unlimited) in Rs.
1. Activation charges

250

500
2. Charges for Cards
i Sale Price of ICC Card in Rs.

2500*

3500*
ii Alternate to purchase of ICC :
ii (a) Fixed monthly charges for card

ii (b) Security Deposit (refundable)

3. Fixed Monthly charges for Unlimited Internet Usage in Rs.

650
4. Free internet usage Unlimited Unlimited
5. Addl usage charges Not applicable Not applicable
6. Roaming facility (Intra & Inter Circle) As per technical feasibility

Even after price increase BSNL evdo is a value for money product. I would recommend it to all looking for internet-on-go solution.

BSNL Broadband – Initial and other Charges

 
Modem Sale Price (One time charges)

Modem Type        Price

Type-I                         Rs.1000
Type-II                        Rs.1600
Type-III                       Rs.1000
Type-IV                       Rs.1600

Monthly Rental

Modem Type        Price
Type-I                         Rs.50
Type-II                        Rs.80
Type-III                       Rs.50
Type-IV                       Rs.80

Earlier type-I & type-III modem’s sale price was Rs.1200/-, which is now Rs.1000/- and Price of Type-II & Type-IV was Rs.1800/-, which is now Rs.1600/-. so there is about Rs200 decrease .

We don’t know exactly when this charges are being reduced.  But people tell me, this is done long time back, so it won’t be a new thing for many. Any rate cut from BSNL is welcome, so posting it here.  Now I am Looking forward for more, cuts in future!
