State-run BSNL today said it will soon launch a promotional unlimited wireline broadband plan that effectively translates into less than Re 1 per GB download cost for subscribers if they use up to 300GB data in a month.

Attempting to take Reliance Jio's 4G offer of Rs 50 per GB head-on, BSNL is looking to hook new customers to its wireline broadband offering.
"BSNL is going to launch a very cost-effective and affordable promotional unlimited Broadband plan 'Experience Unlimited BB 249' from September 9, 2016," the telecom PSU said in a statement.

The plan will enhance the customer experience towards wireline broadband services and attract new users to experience BSNL broadband services, the corporation's chairman cum managing director
Anupam Shrivastava said in a statement.

"Under this plan, customers can download unlimited Broadband data without bothering about any data limit in GB. BSNL shall offer 2 Mbps speed under this plan," the statement said.

BSNL said that if customers use the plan continuously in a month, they can download upto 300 GB data by paying Rs 249.

"Hence, per GB of data download cost comes out as less than Re 1 per GB. After six months, customer will be migrated to one of the regular broadband plan based on the choice of the customer," BSNL said.

Shrivastava added that BSNL is the only operator offering lowest per GB data download cost plan under broadband services in the country.
At Reliance Industries' 42th Annual General Meeting yesterday , chairman Mukesh Ambani had said data must be "affordable".
