BSNL Broadband has torrent of schemes but what happens when you choose high priced schemes is, you lose your money. Sounds great!! Well, here is the calculation. Home Combo scheme will cost you Rs.500 with 1.5 GB free limit and Unlimited plan will cost you Rs. 750. This we all know. What we don't know or fail to note is the difference in speed. While combo scheme has a speed of 2Mbps, Unlimited plan on the other hand will have only 256 Kbps.
You may wonder, "So what, it is unlimited!". But let me take you deep down the rabbit hole. The Speed in Combo plan is 8 times faster than Unlimited plan. The speed I am referring to is both browsing and download speed. The Max download speed that can be achieved in Combo scheme is 200 Kbps while in Unlimited plan it is somewhere around 25~30 Kbps. The result is, a file can be downloaded 8 times faster than unlimited plan in combo scheme.
Still, you may found the facts inconclusive. Here it is. In combo scheme, we have night free download wherein from 2am to 8am, the download is unlimited. So whatever you download whole day using unlimited plan at 256 Kbps can be downloaded within 3 hrs using combo scheme at 2Mbps. Still we have 3 more hours left which in fact can led to the finding that 2 days of Unlimited plan is equal to 6hrs free usage(Max time allowed in one day) or in effect one day of combo scheme.
I can hear you still say "so what, it is unlimited. What will happen if it take two days or week?". You still forget the operation part. The current consumed by your system for two days which you could have saved by using combo scheme. It will come around 42 hours wastage of electricity which now you calculate. In effect, per month, you are wasting around 1260 hours wrt data amount download. Now you do the math with regard to electricity bills.
Of course, the disadvantage is the browsing limit while day time is 1.5 GB for combo scheme which I find highly enough for ordinary usage. The large junk of data through torrents can be very well downloaded during night time. Still, I don't know why majority of the users choose Unlimited plan in BSNL.
