BSNL National Wi-Fi Roaming Service: There is good news for broadband customers. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched National Wi-Fi Roaming Service for customers. Under this service, users of BSNL FTTH (Fibre-to-the-Home) connection will be able to connect to BSNL’s pan-India network. Currently, if you are an FTTH subscriber, you can access high-speed internet services only at a certain location, i.e. where the router is installed. But with BSNL’s National Wi-Fi Roaming Service, its FTTH customers will now be able to access the high-speed internet of their broadband connection anywhere in India.
This is how the new service will work
For this they just have to register on this website of BSNL – https://portal.bsnl.in/ftth/wifiroaming. In this link, customers will have to enter their FTTH connection number along with their registered mobile number and verify it. This is one of the new services of BSNL as the company wants to rebuild its image and presence in the country.
Even when the customer is in a rural area, if BSNL Wi-Fi is present there, he will be able to access high-speed internet through that connection. This allows users to get the best out of their FTTH connection. This is something that private telecom operators like Jio and Airtel would not like to do as these telecom companies want users to use their mobile network services while away from their homes.
For BSNL, this will have no impact on its mobile customers. The telco is still in the process of rolling out 4G and is expected to complete the work by mid-2025. BSNL has said that its national Wi-Fi roaming service is secure and simple. This is the first of its kind service from any pan India FTTH service provider. BSNL Bharat Fiber is the third largest ISP in the country after Reliance Jio and Airtel.
