Asianet Dataline Broadband

What Asianet Dataline Broadband does

Asianet Dataline Broadband, commercially operated under Asianet Satellite Communications Ltd., is a Kerala-based internet service provider founded in 1993 and headquartered in Thiruvananthapuram. The company delivers residential broadband, fiber-to-home, home WiFi, digital cable TV, and enterprise connectivity across all 14 districts of Kerala, with a partner-led footprint extending into Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh/Telangana, and Karnataka. Its infrastructure is hybrid: a state-of-the-art fiber-optic network for high-speed connections up to 100 Mbps and beyond, layered with legacy DOCSIS cable broadband for wider coverage, plus a 5G modem upgrade pathway for next-generation devices.

The product portfolio spans core broadband subscriptions (Rs 440-500/month basic tiers, with FUP up to 5,500 GB/month), bundled Asianet Digital TV (500+ channels), enterprise services (Internet Leased Line Lite, surveillance, network security, storage, voice systems, web hosting), and value-added services (Modem AMC at Rs 450/year, parental controls, e-billing, referral program). Distribution is multi-channel: direct-to-consumer via website (asianetbroadband.in, myasianet.in), phone helplines (9019 500 400, 80860 11111), and 60+ named local nodal officers in every Kerala district, supplemented by a Partner With Us channel program targeting LCOs, retailers, hardware resellers, and corporate sales agents.

The business model is subscription-driven, anchored on recurring monthly broadband and TV fees from a mass-market residential base, complemented by enterprise managed services, hardware sales (leased cable/5G modems), installation/professional services, and AMC contracts. Customer segments are primarily individual households, with secondary exposure to corporate/SME clients and digital TV households. No external parent company, private equity backing, or public listing is disclosed.
