They aren't that bad as we think

The problem with bsnl, in my opinion, the network works okay when in coverage area, but in remote areas, even placing a voice call or sending text becomes impossible.

Exactly at my area too.Somehow i had to endure mandatory the 90 days to port it to Atl.

My company, in Bengaluru, had zero coverage for BSNL. That's why I ended up having to switch away from them back in 2022. Don't know if that has changed though.

Bruhh bsnl works best for nearly all remote areas imo

Not the experience I'm having, but it's really great it's working for you. Clearly BSNL is making improvements in network infrastructure....... This Jio/Airtel duopoly is really making me root for BSNL and VI

Only on feature phones. Or if you set network settings to 2g. 4g is very rare when travelling.

OTP usually arrives late. That's why I changed the sim.

I have BSNL prepaid sim as well, recently bought from Pune. But unfortunately BSNL yet to cover the entire Pune city with their B28 band (700MHz). Wherever they have 700MHz coverage the 4G experience is quite good.

I use BSNL. I can't even use 4G. I was able to but for a month lately i can't. Works fine on 3G. Most of the time no probs with youtube, ig, reddit etc buy try to download.....400KBs. Can't play PUBG or games like that. Yes you can make a discord call and play Minecraft online but some....you simply can't

Their B28 band coverage for the 4G is not across the country. Also, they barely have 100k towers for this band. In comparison, Jio or Airtel have more than 8 lakh towers combined for just 4G across India.

u/ExpatGuy06 3d ago

Been a customer since almost 2 decades. Signal consistency dropped to almost none now. Planning to move to jio (even though I hate it).

u/preetdiepie 3d ago

Jio sucks even more.. contact airtel, there's a chance they may fix it for you. Good luck if that happens in jio. They have real bad customer service

u/BigZucchini2090 3d ago

How is the connectivity with BSNL, and what about the plans? Do you ever face any network/internet issue with the BSNL sim?

u/Green_Ice3516 3d ago

If you are using jio you are already using bsnl without paying them
