This trend is growing rapidly, with numerous users porting their mobile numbers to services of this company
Private telecom companies Airtel and Jio have increased their recharge plan prices. Some reports have stated that this has caused many people to switch to BSNL. This trend is growing rapidly, with numerous Airtel and Jio users porting their mobile numbers to BSNL.
This trend has gained significant attention on social media, where many users are expressing their frustration with the price hikes. In addition, there is a new Rs 15,000 crore deal between Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and BSNL. Together, TCS and BSNL plan to roll out 4G internet services to 1,000 villages across India, promising faster internet speeds in the near future.
Currently, Jio and Airtel dominate the 4G internet service market. However, if BSNL strengthens its position, it could pose a significant challenge to Jio and Airtel. Tata is also building data centres in four regions across India, which will support the development of the country’s 4G infrastructure.
The recent price increases by Jio and Airtel have intensified this shift. Last month, Jio announced a price hike in its recharge plans, followed quickly by similar announcements from Airtel and VI (Vodafone Idea). The new prices for Jio and Airtel took effect on July 3, while VI’s new prices started on July 4.
Jio’s price increase is the highest, ranging from 12% to 25%. Airtel’s prices rose by 11% to 21%, and VI’s by 10% to 21%. The sharpest backlash on social media is directed at Jio, prompting many users to turn to BSNL
