I like the 750GB Plan. I never saw BSNL offering such kinds of plans like ACT BB.

This is not enough. The prices seem just like any other broadband player is offerung. On top of that, act and Airtel has good customer service. No stupid comments like "your plan is 10mbps but 8mbps is also great"

Does broadband modem work for FTTH connection?

 

[meetdilip]

Modem unit, no. Most routers work though.

Do you mean I can get FTTH with the Belkin G Wireless Router I have and nothing additional is required?

 

[meetdilip]

You will need an optical modem. It is called ONT.

I read somewhere if the adsl modem has wan it will work with FTTH

Is it true?

 

[meetdilip]

If there is RJ 45 input which is normally referred to as WAN, you can use it as a wifi router. You will still need an ONT.

Which is the best and cheapest ONT?

These are not available for sale to typical home users & are quite costly,these are meant for bulk orders to ISP.Even if you somehow get one,you still won't be able to configure it to use as your ISP won't support it.

Bsnl has it for Rs.14,000/Rs.11,000

They are still selling it for a discounted price(bsnl got them too from outside manufacturers) & they will most certainly won't work with any other ISP optical fibre network.

 

[meetdilip]

I am not sure whether I will buy from open market. I got it for 5k through my ISP.

 

[jackal_79]

When I got ftth this month they did it through 3rd party vendor who did fiber cabling and ONT installation. They charged me only 4k.

I changed the broadband plan through the selfcare portal on 22 Feb. Till date it's not changed to the new one.

Whom to contact?

I Am not sure if this applies to your area but I found that in Kerala they don't process plan change online. You have to visit your nearest bsnl exchange for plan change. Check it out.

i was going through the list of bsnl's FTTH plans for kolkata recently-they have a 777 per month plan where one would get upto 50 mbps till 500gb each month,beyond that the speed would get reduced to 2mbps.

These plans look interesting-are the prices mentioned on bsnl's website inclusive of tax,or will the customers be required to pay some extra amount as GST charges as well?

Also does bsnl really deliver speeds as high as 50mbps like they are advertising? Will this FTTH broadband work on a regular ADSL modem or does the subscriber need to buy some other equipment for that?

 

[topgear]

for FTTH you need different modem. GST is extra.

For your reference look for ONT modem - If you get from BSNL then ONT modem without wifi costs Rs. 12k and with wifi Rs. 14.5k.

I am using that plan in Kerala. I had to pay 4k for the ONT. I am paying around 1 k per month.

Even if you can afford buying ONT modem from market(their prices will almost always be higher than your ISP supplied ONT modem prices),they are not supported by ISPs anyway so it is irrelevant.
