Broadband - Voip

MTNL has said that that its vendor ITI, another PSU under the ministry of communications and IT, is not able to implement the network in Mumbai. That is why it is not able to meet the demand for broadband connections. “Our quality is very good. Therefore, subscribers prefer MTNL’s broadband even if there is a waiting period,” said RSP Sinha, chairman and managing director of MTNL.

However, a Tata official claimed that MTNL has an advantage over its competitors due to last mile connectivity. It is an incumbent fixed line telephone service provider.

The company has a subscriber base of about 4.75 lakh for its broadband services. Of this, about 2.49 lakh subscribers are in Mumbai, while Delhi accounts for the rest 2.26 lakh. In Delhi, there is a waiting list of 2,000. “This is not a waiting list. This is basically booking list and is a routine,” said Sinha. MTNL has a target to provide 10 lakh new broadband connections in this financial year.
