| 87 Million Jio Subscribers Recharge Without Connecting to Jio Network: Kotak Posted: 02 Oct 2020 05:25 AM PDT This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/jio-subscribers-recharge-without-connecting-network/302108/, 87 Million Jio Subscribers Recharge Without Connecting to Jio Network: Kotak
Kotak International Equities in a report on Thursday highlighted that Reliance Jio, the country's largest telecom operator has 87 million users who recharge their mobiles without connecting to Jio network. The report is based on the Telecom Subscription Data for June as released by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) in late September. Kotak International Equities in its note highlights the gap between active users as reported by Trai and the paying subscriber base as reported by the telecom operators. The active subscriber base on Reliance Jio and Airtel network are both said to be 310 million each as per the Trai subscription report. Jio Has More Paying Subscribers as Compared to its Active User BaseThe data for active subscribers is said to be calculated based on the proportion between visitor location register (VLR) and home location register (HLR). The HLR data provides the total subscriber base of an operator while the VLR data represents the subscriber roaming into one particular network at any given time. It has to be noted that the subscriber can be present at a single network at any point of time, thus, signifying the importance of VLR data. "VLR is a purely technical measure but is a fairly decent proxy of consumer activity on a network,” Kotak International Equities said in its note. “We are unable to comprehend why R-Jio's subscriber base would exhibit much different behaviour than Bharti's subscriber base." The firm said that the investor disclosures provided by Airtel highlighted that its revenue-earning subscriber base (RES) is 10% lower than VLR and 12% lower than HLR. Similarly, the disclosures provided by Reliance Jio is said to highlight its RES base is same as its HLR base, translating to 28% higher than VLR base. "How does Bharti end up with a VLR base that is 10% higher than its paying consumer base while Jio has a VLR base that is 28% lower than its paying consumer base?" Kotak International Equities said in its note. Jio RES Base is "Startling"The firm highlighted that the gap between Jio's HLR base and its VLR base stood at 87 million in June, said to be up 34 million since June 2019. "The sheer magnitude of this absolute gap is startling," Kotak International Equities said in its note. "Who are these 87 mn subs who are recharging their SIMs regularly, are not connected to Jio's network at the time of peak-VLR but are connected at some other times when an even larger number of peak-VLR-SIMs aren't connected [sic]."

| Vi Now Offers 100GB Data at Rs 351 with 56 Days Validity Posted: 02 Oct 2020 03:43 AM PDT This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/vi-now-offers-100gb-data-rs351/302090/, Vi Now Offers 100GB Data at Rs 351 with 56 Days Validity
Vi has also announced the launch of GIGAnet, India's strongest 4G network that will enable users to get ahead by staying connected with all that matters, in real-time. India's leading telecom operator, Vodafone Idea Limited has set up a world-class network with largest spectrum portfolio, huge capacity, and built on many principles of 5G architecture that help in delivering a superior network experience. Vi is also offering interesting benefits to its plans. Every prepaid or postpaid plan of Vi is now coming with the benefit of MPL cash and discount on Zomato. These offers can put Vi in the spotlight for some time but the telco needs to work on its customer service and improve its overall 4G network so that the customers can stay loyal to the telco in the long-term. For the unaware, Vi has also removed the 'Priority 4G Network'. It seems like Vi is also crediting the free data benefit on recharging its All Rounder recharge pack of Rs 49. The Rs 49 pack from Vi ships with Rs 38 talk time, 100MB data and 28 days of service validity. The 3GB data benefit being offered by Vi is completely random and there are high chances you may not receive it entirely.

| BSNL Set to Offer Up to 25% Additional Data to its Users in October Posted: 02 Oct 2020 12:36 AM PDT This post first appeared on TelecomTalk Read more at: https://telecomtalk.info/bsnl-offer-additional-data-october/302050/, BSNL Set to Offer Up to 25% Additional Data to its Users in October
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is set to offer 25% more data to its users as part of its plans to celebrate 20 years of its corporatization. According to an internal release accessed by TelecomTalk, the state-run operator has decided to celebrate October month as "Customer Delight Month." The operator has planned multiple initiatives to provide "best service experience" to its users as part of its Customer Delight Month programme. BSNL on Thursday also introduced new Bharat Fiber plans with enhanced speed and data limits across India, with the new plans also said to be part of its Customer Delight Month initiative. BSNL to Offer Up to 25% Additional Data to its UsersThe new Bharat Fibre plans with enhanced offerings include Fibre Basic, Fibre Value, Fibre Premium and Fibre Ultra. It was said that the new Bharat Fibre plans are offered with an "objective to retain" existing BSNL users while also aiding the operator to add new users. According to the internal release, it was said that the operator will provide up to 25% additional data on all special tariff vouchers (STVs) having validity of more than 30 days. The extra data offer is likely to be introduced in the upcoming days with the offer set to be valid till October 31, 2020. Further, the initiatives planned for October also include a "focus on quality" of BSNL landlines and broadband through its cluster partners. It was said that the operator will focus on clearing 90% of the faults "within 24 hours" on all days. BSNL Also to Attend BTS Fiber Faults in 24 HoursCrucially, it was also highlighted that the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) fiber faults are to be attended within 24 hours. BTS is essential for the communication between the user equipment and the operator network. It also has to be noted that in late September BSNL also raised Rs 8500 crores by issuing bonds on private placement basis using BSE BOND platform. The government-guaranteed bonds issued by BSNL is said to have a 10 year maturity period and is part of the BSNL revival package announced by the government of India in October 2019.

ACT Fibernet, the third-largest wired broadband service provider in India has revamped its plans for its users in Chennai. The internet service provider with over 1.68 million users has been revamping its broadband plans across various cities in the country. As reported by TelecomTalk earlier, the operator had made changes to its plans for its users in Bengaluru and Delhi. While the service provider offered a speed bump as part of its revised plans in Delhi and Bengaluru, ACT under its revised plans has only increased the data limit to its users in Chennai. So now these plans come with more data for the same price. Keep reading ahead to find out about the data benefits which have the plans come with after the update. ACT Fibernet Now Offering More DataA total of six plans have been updated by ACT Fibernet for its users in Chennai including the entry level 'ACT Basic' plan that earlier offered 200GB data. The users subscribed to the ACT Basic plan will now receive 750GB data at 50 Mbps speed for Rs 820 per month. The second plan is 'ACT Blaze' that earlier offered 500GB data but now it comes with 1500GB data at 100 Mbps speed with the plan priced at Rs 1020 per month. The operator also enhanced 'ACT Blast Promo' that earlier offered 1000GB data but ACT now offers 2500GB data at the same 150 Mbps speed for Rs 1075 per month. Similarly, the operator also enhanced 'ACT Storm' that earlier offered 1250GB data, but after the change in benefits, the data has been bumped up to 3000GB data per month. The users subscribed to ACT Storm can browse at 200 Mbps speed with the plan carrying a price tag of Rs 1125. Further, the 'ACT Lightning' plan that offered 1500GB data has been enhanced to 3000GB data with the plan continuing to offer 250 Mbps speed for Rs 1325. Finally, the operator also revamped its 'ACT Incredible' plan that earlier offered 2000GB data. But now the ACT Incredible plan has been revamped to offer 5000GB data at the same 350 Mbps speed for Rs 1,999. It is not a bit surprising that internet service providers are revamping their plans after both Airtel and Jio started providing unlimited data with each of their broadband plans. It is expected that ACT will revamp its plans in other cities as well. Original article: ACT Fibernet Continues to Revamp its Broadband Plans ©2020 TelecomTalk. All Rights Reserved. |
