  Yes, BSNL is competing with Jio in every form it can. For example, in Bhubaneswar where Jio Fiber is not in sight they are offering the Happy Browsing offer for three months starting with July. Under this offer BSNL is maintaining the pre-FUP speed even after FUP has been exhausted. For example in my opted plan BSNL BB Home Combo 775 CS36 I am getting 4MBps for the entire month until September.
  
  In your location, Nagpur where Jio Fiber launch is imminent they have also opted to upgrade their FTTH plans at attractive costs. As you can see in the poster it states “For the customers in those locations/colonies of Pune and Nagpur SSAs where there is matching competition from private operators”. They are clearly focused on competition from Jio. The only hiccup is that these plans upgrades and offers are for 90 days and we do not know what shall happen next.

  That's correct. It's the Jio entry that's driving everyone nuts. Now, BSNL at least has a 100Mbps plan that is affordable. I think they're doing a 90 day pilot just to see what plans Jio introduces so that they can make changes afterwards. I bet these are going to be lot cheaper in coming days.
  
  I've been advocating BSNL FTTH services because my experience with the service is beyond satisfactory. Never had any major downtime and a few issues that I faced lasted no longer than 2-3 hours.
  
  Unless Jio's plans are super attractive, I'll stick with BSNL for some more time. 60Mbps is more than enough for the time being. I'll finally be able to backup some server data right on to my HDD.

  Okay, so we moved to the new BSNL 60Mbps plan and it's super cool! Look at the speedtest results -
  
  
  
  BSNL seems to have woken up to the impending threat from the Jio folks. If upgrading the plans was so easy, I wonder why BSNL didn't do it yet. Maybe they just wanted to keep getting all the money they could from customers.
  
  Let's see what Jio comes up with. This just got super interesting!
