"Airtel Fair Usage Policy" Limits on Unimited Broadband! - Page 3

Biplav · 12-02-2009, 05:46 PM

Somebody please tell me- How can a plan be called "UNLIMITED" and have a limit to data transfer?

Yes. I've noticed the same. My connection is not being capped yet, though i HAVE exceeded the quota.

If MTNL comes to know about this, i think even they will follow it. At the end companies will make profit by implementing such policies leaving customers badly screwed.

red_devil · 12-02-2009, 07:01 PM

this is complete nonsense....

glad i have H500 plan from BSNL ... my usage for this month is already 14.5GB...

BSNL is such a darling

tarey_g · 12-02-2009, 07:12 PM

Digg it and let the world know how much airtel sucks.

gxsaurav · 12-02-2009, 07:26 PM

Thanks god, no such thing in Lucknow

. Confirmed by a friend working in Airtel BB as a manager.

Although I use BSNL broadband, but I looked upon it & my usage never exceeds more then 20 GB in a month. But then again, I am not a into online gaming, very little youtube usage etc

gaurav_indian · 12-02-2009, 08:27 PM

Good strategy by Airtel to gain more customers for their 1 mbps connection.

confused!! · 12-02-2009, 08:37 PM

Confirmed just now from Airtel CC in Hyderabad. They are saying this is a government order and the plan is that you can download 15GB with full 256Kbps speed and after that the speed will be reduced to half ie 128Kbps and this is implemented throughout the country and across all plans

Rohit Setia · 12-02-2009, 08:51 PM

My plan is of 250 DSL + combo pack Night Top Up ....Can anyone tell me what will be my limit of downloading ? It's unlimited from 8 P.m. to 8 a.m. means 12 hours a day...

How do i check "how mch I'ave downloaded" in airtel?

Am currently on 256kbps. Does that mean after 15GB my speed wud b reduced to 128kbps?

abhi1301 · 12-02-2009, 09:52 PM

^^^^^ yes that's right after 15 gb of DL + UL .. your speed will be KHACCCH 128 kbps only

All the airtel Users PLZ GUYS >> LODGE AS MANY COMPLAINS AS POSSIBLE to airtel , also escalate it to the nodal officers, I recently spoke to the CC and the guy gave me a stat that arnd 64% of airtel internet customer base is BB so if we all call it off .. maaannnn it's dukaan band for them So PLZ DO ESCALATE

++ This limit is on total transaction i.e. DL+UL= 15 gb (for a 256 kbps plan user)

iinfi · 12-02-2009, 09:57 PM

TATA indicom broadband has been doing it for quite some time. in a 256kbps conn the moment you cross 12 gigs you speed will come down crashing to 20-50kbps.
this happened for quite a few months on trot, n thats when i realized their jack assness.
i shifted to Rel wimax ...
the only difference with airtel is they v now announced it thru their CC

Where do you stay? It would be best if you call up the Airtel CC and ask them. Better confirm and then use.

unni · 12-02-2009, 10:13 PM

I can't believe this is happening. I was planning to shift from TataIndicom 256kbps unlimited to Airtel by the end of this month. Better apply for BSNL tomorrow itself. Otherwise, you will have to now wait for months to get a connection.

Are you sure? In which area does he live? I live in kothrud. 128kpbs UL costs around Rs.500 bucks here.

infra_red_dude · 12-02-2009, 11:11 PM

WTF??!! I read in some post that this is Govt. order!! Has the Govt. gone crazy??!! Internet is the backbone and lifeline of everything.. how can Govt. throttle the use of "oxygen"?!

Can't you all guys file a PIL or something? Complain to TRAI..

^^
Kidnap the minister,hijack the radio station and ask for 4Mbps Unlimited for 500 Rs/Month or the Minister would be found in the ruins of Kabul next day.

That's what they have decided upon. I made that thread so that Members from Kolkata can have a FACE2FACE discussion with the TRAI members. BUT NOOO. NO ONE BOTHERED and so here is their solution : CAP THE UNLIMITED TO PROVIDE BANDWITH 2 ALL

do we really dont have enough bandwidth???

mavihs · 13-02-2009, 01:14 AM

@Ecstasy
Both!!!!

wat a sad day 4 Indians!!!!

pulkit_aga · 13-02-2009, 09:12 AM

its really shameful when we are talking about 3g and new technology etc,this broadband is becoming a narrowband.
instead of progressing we are regressing in internet use and its spread.
guess this proves darwins evolution theory wrong atleast in case of internet in India.

Faun · 13-02-2009, 09:22 AM

^^It's called fair usage ! I mean they will save that bandwidth to reach the poor. Its for a noble cause...we all should be proud of the selfless effort of service providers. Jai India
