MTNL 20 MBPS VDSL broadband internet launched

MTNL VDSL Broadband, the fastest fixed line broadband internet service in India, has been launched in Mumbai. MTNL’s VDSL (Very High Bitrate DSL) offers a download speed of up to 20 MBPS.

Airtel’s 16 MBPS broadband was India’s fastest internet connection so far – with the VSSL, MTNL now offers India’s fastest broadband Internet connection.
MTNL’s VDSL Combo plan offers 18 GB of free downloads on a monthly rental of Rs 9,000. The company said that the new VDSL service is targeted at businesses and corporate houses, who can use it as a backup for their internet lease lines.
For MTNL VDSL Combo, above the 18 GB, users will have to pay additional charges of 50 paisa per MB. There are no free calls, and the call charges will be as per the One India plan.
To subscribe to MTNL’s VDSL broadband internet Mumbai, one also has to pay upfront modem charges of Rs 3000 and installation charges (for existing customers only) at Rs 2,000.
VDSL is an advanced DSL technology, which can be used for services like IPTV, HDTV and VoIP. The VDSL standard was globally approved in 2001.
MTNL is the biggest broadband service provider in Mumbai, serving over four lakh customers. After launching the 20 MBPS VDSL plan, MTNL also has plans to launch 50 MBPS super-high-speed broadband internet in India. This too will make use of VDSL technology, and will be targeted at enterprises rather than retail users. For this purpose, MTNL is planning to upgrade its ADSL network to a VDSL network. The highest data transfer speeds will be available within one kilometre radius of the MTNL telephone exchange.
MTNL is also offering Triband broadband services in New Delhi and Mumbai. MTNL is one of the only operators in India (the other being BSNL), which has launched 3G services. The government allotted 3G spectrum to companies owned by itself – MTNL and BSNL – ahead of the 3G spectrum auction which is scheduled for January 2010. MTNL also operates Garuda and Trump mobile services.
