Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL), a government owned PSU, has slashed tariffs on unlimited broadband home plans.

Under new tariffs, home users would now get double broadband speed at the same earlier price. These new tariffs have already been made effective from August 15.

Under its new unlimited broadband schemes, MTNL is now offering a broadband speed up to 512Kbps for Rs 999, up to 1 Mbps for Rs 1599, up to 2 Mbps for 3999 and up to 4 Mbps for 9999.

It is actually the double speed what MTNL was offering earlier.

Those MTNL users who don’t want the enhanced broadband speed can retain their previous speed at cheaper price. They just need to contact customer care and request for the same.

This reduction in tariffs can be considered as MTNLs’ strategy to occupy more users in broadband market of metro cities. This will surely affect the business of other service providers in Delhi and Mumbai.
