BTCL -The only Govt. PSTN operator in Bangladesh

BTCL - The Govt owned only landphone PSTN operator in Bangladesh. Its also largest and oldest operator in Bangladesh PSTN history. Its named BTCL from 1st of July, 2008. Before that it was named BTTB, most popularly knows as T&T. After becoming BTCL it was converted to public Limited company to provide good response and service to the Bangladesh people who r the customer for the state owned company. People can get his BTCL connection more easily and more cheap connection fees. Not only that its call rate is much cheaper than before when it was BTTB.

To get a new connection it costs as follows-
1. Dhaka Multi-Exchange+ Narayanganj proper + Gazipur proper- 2000/= Tk
2. Chittagong Multi-Exchange- 1000/= Tk
3. Rest of the Districts, Zilla, Upazilla and Growth Centres- 600/= Tk

Though BTCL has many more services but its service quality is not good through some of its old model rules and regulations. It problem ticket solving processing time is much higher than other private phone operators.
