    @iSathishKumarS @2909139Koc @sumanthraman All developed countries have 2 or 3 telecom service providers only. Let BSNL be freed from its shackles and compete.

    @TimesNow @deepikapadukone @vivekagnihotri @thenewshour Don't be harsh on Deepika Padukone. She went with BSNL. It almost folded. She went with RCB. It has never won IPL. She went with Junior Mallya. Business busted and his dad became a fugitive. She went with Yuvraj Singh. He barely survived. Career over. Now she's with #TukdeTukde

    The reason why BSNL is the last option a person wants or never opted is this I guess...landline dead for last one month, lodged complaints twice 129583320112 and 130210191112 after few days received a message as resolved but landline still dead @BSNLCorporate @BSNL_CHTD

    @BSNLCorporate @PrithvishKV @BSNL_CHTD is the worst network I ever seen. Because, Eventhough my BSNL sim card is 4G capable, they are giving 3G (metropolitan city - Chennai). I am Also not getting UPC code. I hate BSNL.

    @AdityaD_Shah telecommunication India is huge business potential. Jio has managing bcoz of Govt backdoor support. Or else no telecom wud make profit here coz of Govt outdated policies and working at imaginary revenues. If Google support Vodafone, then Jio will like BSNL.

    @dthakur36 In my area both Jio and Airtel connection are best!!! but Vi is working on their network 2 years ago Vi network is worst but now Vi is much improved If we talk about BSNL i had no idea about that!

    @BSNLCorporate All public sector banks has removed bsnl network from their system because of poor support, no accountability. Corporate business needs 100% availability which bsnl lags.

    The unlimited 5G data era is quietly coming to an endRight now, Jio, Airtel, and Vi all claim to offer "unlimited" 5G data. But let's be honest — only Jio actually delivers truly unlimited. Airtel and Vi have been playing games — soft caps, speed throttling, daily limits hidden in fine print. Thousands of users have already called this out. Once the honeymoon period ends, expect 5G data to come at a premium. Telecom companies didn't invest ₹1.5 lakh crore in spectrum just to give it away for free forever. Free was the bait. Premium pricing is the plan. So what happens next? We go back to good old fiber broadband. Most major broadband players offer around 3300GB monthly data with speeds ranging from 40Mbps to 1Gbps depending on what you pay. In cities, local broadband players are offering insane deals — 300Mbps at dirt cheap rates. If you're in a metro or tier-2 city, broadband will always beat mobile data on value. But here's the real problem — rural India. In villages, your broadband options are basically BSNL, and maybe Jio or Airtel if you're lucky. Local players don't go there because the economics don't work. So when 5G stops being free, rural users are left with either expensive mobile data or BSNL's inconsistent service. The digital divide isn't closing — it's just being repackaged under different marketing labels. Bottom line — enjoy your unlimited 5G while it lasts. The meter is about to start running. 📡💸
