In2cable offers broadband at Rs 450 a year for 250 mb
MUMBAI: In2cable India Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hinduja TMT, has slashed cable Internet rates as it plans to increase subscribers in a highly competitive market.
Subscribers can pay as low as Rs 200 a quarter or Rs 450 annually. The catch, though, is that the download limit is 250 mb. The speed has been increased to 256 kbps. Earlier, In2cable was charging Rs 250 per month for a download limit of 200 mb on a speed of 128 kbps. “We want to tap entry level users through this scheme. We are offering transparent a pay-per-use system,” says In2cable (India) general manager, sales and marketing, Anil Srivastava.
In2cable has also introduced an entirely new scheme for its LAN (local area network) services which are branded as In2net. For these residential users, In2cable has priced 256 kbps services at Rs 800 per month. Subscribers will, however, have a 200 mb download limit per day. If they cross this limit, the number of days will be reduced according to the usage consumed. “This is a totally new scheme we have introduced. It will stop subscribers from abusing bandwidth,” says Srivastava.
