BSNL has launched its new Quantum 5G (Q-5G) internet service in Hyderabad, taking direct aim at major telecom rivals like Jio and Airtel. But unlike regular 5G mobile services, this one doesn’t need SIM cards or even cables.
What Makes Q-5G Different?
The Q-5G service uses a Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) setup. It delivers fast internet using indoor routers that connect directly to nearby BSNL 5G towers. That means:
- No SIM card required
- No optical fiber or broadband wiring
- No technician needed for installation
Just plug in the device and start browsing.
Plans and Pricing
BSNL’s Q-5G comes with two simple plans:
- ₹999/month for speeds up to 100 Mbps
- ₹1,499/month for speeds up to 300 Mbps
These plans are designed to offer fast internet without the setup hassles or long-term contracts.
Built in India, For India
This service stands out for being:
- 100% developed and manufactured in India
- Tailored for Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities
- Aimed at households, small businesses, and remote workers
It’s especially useful in areas where traditional fiber internet hasn’t reached or isn’t reliable.
Where It’s Headed Next
Following its Hyderabad debut, BSNL plans to launch Q-5G in more cities soon, including:
- Bengaluru
- Pune
- Visakhapatnam
- Chandigarh
- Gwalior
These areas have growing demand for reliable internet, especially in suburbs and rural zones.
Why This Could Change the Game
BSNL’s Q-5G could be a breakthrough for digital access in India. It offers:
- Fast, reliable service without waiting for fiber rollout
- Affordable options for home and small office users
- Easy setup that even non-tech users can handle
This could be a huge step forward for digital inclusion, especially in underserved regions.
If you’re in an area with poor fiber coverage or tired of complex installations, BSNL’s Q-5G might be the solution. It’s fast, affordable, and easy to set up — no cables, no SIM, no fuss. As it rolls out to more cities, this could reshape how India connects to the internet.
