BSNL Issues Changes to Long Term Subscription Pricing BSNL has issued a new notification recently in which it has made some changed to the rental amount which the subscribers will be required to pay in the case of broadband plans if they opt for long term connections like 12 months or more. It is worth noting that these new changes will also be applicable to the DSL plans from BSNL as well. Subscription Amount for 12 Months For a yearlong subscription of broadband plans, the BSNL subscribers had to pay 11 months worth of fixed monthly charges if the plan was priced less than Rs 499 per month. If the plan was priced more than Rs 499 per month, then the subscribers were required to pay only ten months worth of fixed monthly rental to get this connection for twelve months. This was the norm previously. But, with the new changes, the subscribers will have to pay 12 months worth of rental for the broadband plan regardless of the pricing of the plan and the subscription period that they would enjoy would be 13 months. Subscription Amount for 24 Months Similarly, for the plans which the subscribers opted for 24 months, they had to pay 21 months of FMC beforehand if the plan was priced less than Rs 499. And, if the plan was priced more than Rs 499 per month, then the subscribers had to pay 19 months worth of FMC to the operator. But, after the new changes, the subscribers will now be paying 24 months of FMC to BSNL, and the service that they would enjoy would be for 27 months. Subscription Amount for 36 Months Lastly, when it comes to getting a subscription for 3 years or 36 months, the subscribers were required to pay 30 months of FMC in the case of plans priced less than Rs 499, and 28 months of FMC in the case of plans priced more than Rs 499 per month. But, under the new rules, the subscribers will only have to pay 36 months worth of FMC, and in this payment, the total duration of service that they would enjoy would be 40 months. These new changes will not depend on the pricing of the broadband plan, and it would not matter if the broadband plan selected is priced more than Rs 499 or less.
