BSNL has today officially launched the much talked Prepaid Broadband for the customers in Andhra Pradesh (At present the service is not yet available in Hyderabad Telecom District though).

The advertisement in newspapers today reads:

“Now you have the power to control the broadband bill.Pre-decide your usage, speed and validity by a recharge voucher of your choice ranging from Rs.50/- to Rs.5000 /- for the limited usage plans and Rs.300/- to rs.1200 /- for the unlimited usage plans.

Top up vouchers: Rs.100/- to Rs.500/-

Validity Vouchers: Rs.100/- to Rs.250/-

Initial Charges : Rs. 1000/- for Type-I modem and Rs.1600/- for Type-II modem.

Customer service numbers for further queries:

1800-424-1600 (Toll Free)

1500 (Toll Free from any BSNL phone).

Ad (I could get only Telugu version):

Registration and Installation is free for 30 days from today, so hurry up.

would like to hear your opinions about this new service.

We do know about many prepaid usage in case of mobiles, but never heard of prepaid Broadband, right?

BSNL, becomes the first broadband company in India to launch prepaid Broadband in India.Even though their prices seem to be a little costlier, they are worth the price if you are going to a place for a temporary stay where you don’t afford to get a new BB connection with all those installation charges etc. Just get a ADSL modem from one of your friends and of course you have to pay onetime installation charge of 250 Rs.).

I just went through BSNL Prepaid Broadband page and here I’m quoting the price table for unlimited usage packs.

Unlimited download/upload Plan vouchers :

Speed	Validity in Days for different Recharge Vouchers
Speed
	BB R_UL 300 Voucher (*MRP Rs. 300)	BB R_UL 550 Voucher (*MRP Rs. 550)	BB R_UL 900 Voucher (*MRP Rs. 900)	BB R_UL 1200 Voucher (*MRP Rs. 1200)
256 Kbps	7-days	15-days	30-days	N/A
Upto 512 Kbps	N/A	7-days	15-days	30-days
Upto 1 Mbps	N/A	N/A	7-days	15-days
Upto 2 Mbps	N/A	N/A	N/A	7-days

May be it’s time for all other ISPs to think in this direction to provide such prepaid broadband plans to their users.

BSNL initially may have started this service in some parts of the country, I heard they’d soon (by this month end?) be extending this to all over India.
