BSNL has announced that it is extending its work from home broadband plan availability till May 19, 2020. The information comes from BSNL’s Tamil Nadu Twitter account. The tweet highlights the features of the plan which gives new and existing customers 5GB data per day at 10Mbps after which the speed drops to 1Mbps. The plan first came into effect when the lockdown began in India and people started working from home. For most, working from home means more data consumption and this plan from BSNL helped those that needed a decent internet connection to get work done. The lockdown in India has been extended till May 3 with the possibility of it getting extended even further.
