National Wi-Fi roaming service for FTTH customers
In a major expansion of its services, BSNL has introduced a national Wi-Fi roaming facility for its Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) subscribers. The new feature would let users access high-speed internet at BSNL hotspots without paying anything extra, thus cutting down their data costs. The move is yet another example of the company's commitment to customer convenience and affordability.
Fiber-based intranet TV service for FTTH users
In a bid to boost digital entertainment, BSNL has announced a fiber-based intranet TV service. The offering provides over 500 live channels and Pay TV options to all FTTH subscribers, without any additional cost. Notably, the data consumed for TV streaming won't be deducted from the users' FTTH data allowance, making it an appealing feature for those looking for uninterrupted entertainment without worrying about data.
Automated SIM kiosks for customer convenience
In a bid to make the process of buying, upgrading, or porting SIM cards easier for customers, BSNL is all set to launch automated SIM kiosks. The automated kiosks would really simplify the process of getting and managing SIM cards for BSNL users.
BSNL collaborates with C-DAC for private 5G network
