The five unlimited broadband plans

In February this year, MTNL launched a similar 2Mbps broadband plan for Rs 25 per month, called 'Broadband For Every Home'. The promotional plan ended on 18 May, 2012. By slashing the prices of entry-level broadband, MTNL hoped to make its ADSL-based wire-line broadband services (Triband) popular and more affordable.
