BSNL FTTH(Fiber To The Home) ONT or modems or FTTH Routers are priced similarly to a standard WiFi routers available online. They are not costly equipment, but they can sometimes be difficult to find online.
They range from Rs 1900 for single band ONT to Rs 2900 for dual band ONT. The dual-band ONT costs a little more than a standard single-band ONT for obvious reasons.
Since you’ve landed here, I will make sure you get all the information about BSNL FTTH ONT or modems, including their prices, right here in this post. Today, I am going to tell you exactly how much they cost and some important things to remember before purchasing a BSNL FTTH modem or ONT.

SYROTECH ONT Customer support:
After getting an ONT, you need to configure it.
First of all, I suggest you to get the necessary information from service provider such as Internet Username, password and VLAN. Once you get this information you may call Syrotech customer support team to configure the ONT for you.
MTCTE Certification:
BSNL allows only MTCTE-certified ONTs in their network. MTCTE stands for Mandatory Testing & Certification of Telecommunication Equipment.
The Department of Telecommunications has set new rules requiring all telecommunication equipment to be tested and certified before use. This means that any equipment used for telegraphs must pass these tests to ensure they meet specific standards. These rules, issued on September 5, 2017, apply to all equipment, including FTTH OLT and ONT, used under a government license.
How to Check if an ONT or Modem Has MTCTE Certification:
Don’t worry, I am providing a list of BSNL FTTH ONTs with their manufacturer’s names that are already MTCTE supported. You don’t need to bang your head over this 😊.

XPON Technology:
There are basically two types of PON Technology that BSNL uses:
- GPON or Gigabit Passive Optical Network
- EPON or Ethernet Passive Optical Network
ONTs labeled with supporting XPON technology mean that they support both GPON and EPON. This is important because BSNL uses OLT or Optical Line Terminal units that have both GPON and EPON technology.
So, if you decide to go with an ONT or modem that supports XPON technology, you are completely safe.
Please ensure to buy an ONT with XPON technology.
How Much Does BSNL FTTH(Fiber To The Home) Installation Charge?
BSNL FTTH installation charges can vary depending on your location. Since BSNL provides FTTH services through a franchisee model, the installation cost is determined by the franchisee. Several factors influence the charges, such as the distance from the nearest Fiber Distribution Box Terminal to your home.
What is an ONT in BSNL FTTH?
An ONT, or Optical Network Terminal, is a crucial device for BSNL FTTH users. It functions similarly to a modem but specifically for fiber optic networks. The ONT converts the optical signals coming from BSNL’s central office into electrical signals that your devices (Mobile, PC/Laptop) can use.
