BSNL users or those considering a switch have some good news! The state-run telecom has made its 4G network available across more than 65,000 sites, and users in these areas can now benefit from better signal strength, enhanced network coverage, and faster data rates.
This rollout is part of a wider plan by BSNL to set up 100,000 4G sites by the middle of 2025, making it a significant milestone for the company. But the expansion comes at a time when BSNL has reportedly lost over 300,000 subscribers, according to the latest TRAI data for November.
