The state-owned telecom operator Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has also started offering fiber-based broadband plans in many areas. You can subscribe to their service and recharge with BSNL superstar plans to get Hotstar premium for free as part of the plan benefit.
But make sure that it is the best way to grab Hotstar Premium for you. There might be other fiber broadband providers in your city as well who are offering more benefits at the same price as BSNL superstar plans. I’m telling this because some users believe that BSNL’s services are not as good as other broadband provider’s. So check that before you spend money on BSNL superstar plans.
Rs 799 and Rs 949 are the plans which are offered as BSNL superstar plans where you will get Hotstar Premium for free. Both of these plans come with FUP limit which is 300GB and 500GB respectively. These two plans give you a validity period of 1 month. I personally think these plans are overpriced. Other broadband providers give you better pricing.
