Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has announced to stop 3G services in many districts of Bihar including Patna from January 15. This decision is part of BSNL’s 4G network upgradation plan. The company has already shut down 3G services in districts like Motihari, Katihar, Khagaria, and Munger.
This move will affect millions of customers who are still using 3G SIM cards. Once 3G services are shut down, internet access will not be possible, and customers will be limited to voice calls and SMS services only.
Why are 3G services being stopped?
BSNL says that 4G network has been expanded in most areas of Bihar. By shutting down the old 3G network, the company wants to ensure better internet speed and connectivity.
3G users will not get internet service. Only voice calls and SMS services will continue. The main objective of BSNL is to provide fast 4G internet experience to the customers.
How to upgrade from 3G to 4G?
After 3G services are discontinued, customers will have to upgrade to a 4G SIM card. For this, customers will have to go to their nearest BSNL office.
Increase in the number of BSNL customers
In recent months, the number of BSNL customers has increased rapidly. Especially when private telecom companies increased the prices of their recharge plans. BSNL is taking advantage of this opportunity and working on providing new plans and better network facilities to the customers.
