BSNL here would launch by this month-end ‘Fibre to Home’ (FTH) facility for customers seeking Internet, telephone and TV channels’ access.
FTH would deliver high speeds of up to 100 mbps on the Internet which would allow customers to download a movie in just one minute, a BSNL spokesman said today quoting Senior General Manager G. C. Pandey.
Besides, most of the popular TV channels and landline phone services were annexed with FTH, he said.
BSNL also planned to extend FTH service at the Global Investor Meet slated to be hosted here next month for which mobile towers have been erected, he said.
FTH network is being laid at important points including the High Court, State Bank of India, GP, IT Park, the IIM and University area in the city too for the launch of the service by the month-end, he said.
An FTH connection with a speed of one mbps would cost Rs 300 per month, and Rs 84,000 for 100 mbps. Installation charges would be around Rs 1,000, according to the BSNL tariff.
Asked about the fate of the IPT service provided to customers on the fixed landline, the GM said there was some difficulty in getting private service players for IPT and FTH would get the momentum now.
