I believe that they should start giving broadband internet with limit of 50 - 100 MB per month free. Ask the customer to either purchase or rent a modem and give a small amount of usage for free. I bet the customer will upgrade sooner rather than later to the monthly package . My internet usage around 2.5 years back in my shop and office (combined) was less than 500MB. Now I use around 5GB at home and around 2 GB in office. As soon as you give faster speeds to the customer their usage increases. Give them a small amount for free and then see the conversion rate. This is also a nice chance for the user to test the speed of the service. ( I believe that BSNL has the best broadband in India at the moment. I have not used Airtel but Iqara anfd Tata are very poor). This could be a breakthrough for BSNL to increase the customer base. and how much would it cost them if they give 100MB free a month. A few rupees. Just 10- 20% conversion to paid can be huge for them Nice thought Shayon. I believe that they should start giving broadband internet with limit of 50 - 100 MB per month free.
