Free Dialup Internet Connections in India from BSNL
As I learned from The Hindu yesterday, BSNL, India’s biggest phone and internet services provider, is offering free dial up internet access for all its landline customers till the end of October 2008. Any BSNL landline user can get access to the free dial up connection from BSNL by using the following credentials, after connecting his telephone line to the computer:
Username: Your STD Code excluding the zero and your phone number. For example, if your STD Code is 0461 and your phone number is 123456789, you should type 461123456789 in the Username box.
Password: Your Phone Number. Example: 123456789
Dial: 172222
Of course, you can get speeds of about 56kbps only. But free is good, isn’t it? Spread the message to everyone you know, because only a few thousand users have signed up since they launched this free dialup service. Update: You still have to pay normal call charges.

Should be good for rural areas. But generally BSNL dialup speeds are horrendouos. I remember the days of being a dialup user. Connection would drop every 5 mins and I would get more than 3kBps only on very good days.

dude, its not completely free. You have to pay local call charges. And is not new, I have been using it since last 1.5 years.
Of course, the registration is free.

Even I was using the same thing. But that was long long long ago with a custom password & free registration.

@Pallab: I’m hoping things should have improved now.
@Sharad: Oops, my bad. I forgot to mention that in the post. Updated now.
@Aswin: I didn’t know

It’s not exactly free, you pay for the phone charge. And MTNL also released a similar offer years ago, which they still have I think…

The speeds are pathetic, it gives around 46kpbs and even google takes time to load, I have used this connection previously.
