After Reliance Jio announced the launch of Jio Fiber broadband services, the state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has introduced new broadband plans at a starting price of just Rs 99.

BSNL has introduced 4 new plans with speeds of upto 20Mbps, Trak.in reported. The new plans will allow customers access to 45GB of data at just Rs 99. All plans are non-FTTH (optic fibre).

While the cheapest of the four plans is Rs 99 for 45GB data per month, their highest plan among the four is Rs 399 for 600GB data.

All of the plans will give users 20Mbps speed which will come down to 1Mbps after full consumption.

Here's how the plans look:

• Rs 99: 1.5 GB per day with 20 Mbps speed (1Mbps speed post FUP)
• Rs 199: 5 GB per day with 20 Mbps speed (1Mbps speed post FUP)
• Rs 299: 300 GB per day with 20 Mbps speed up to 10 GB per day (1Mbps speed post FUP)
• Rs 399: 600 GB per day with 20 Mbps speed up to 20 GB per day (1Mbps post FUP)

The plans by BSNL come at a time when Jio's 4G speeds are reported to have dipped in the recent times.

According to the latest TRAI numbers, Jio users got 14.7Mbps speeds in April as opposed to the 25Mbps promised.
