@kalpik

That was an automated message for sure. Just like you there must be thousands who must be mailing them and they won't reply to every single one of them so I guess this is their typical format and they must be programmed or something to mail that if they get any message which includes "airtel policy" lol.

Sad state of Indian ISP (Airtel).

yes thats correct...but i'm not a subscriber of AIRTEL BB so what on earth can I do ?? I cant yell at their CC guys nor can I email them asking for clarifications or anything like that...so that leaves me with no option but to say what is <for now> the best option available to me <BSNL>

btw, is there any online petition or some sorta stuff going on in protest of this stupid new rule ??

^^ I feel like doing what some computer engineers at Noida are doing- dont pay the bill for two months.
The Airtel ppl wud disconnect connection and ask you to pay up.

Your reply? "I don't have Airtel connection, so what am i supposed to pay up for"

According to my knowledge for newly registered users of Airtel BB, they won't be able to implement this. Bcuz acc. to TRAI they can't change the plan within 6months of registration.
The only way to stop this is to attack Airtel's goodwill & mass connection cancellation notice.

Not really. Sometimes MTNL people forget to change the speed on a particular account so the speed goes to 2mbps, they forget to cap it. Happens a lot.

I am not using AIRTEL but i think this is not at all fair first scrappy speed and now putting limitation on unlimited plan. I think all the user using airtel should write a complaint to the TRAI about this.

Default Re: "Airtel Fair Usage Policy" Limits on Unimited Broadband!

I'm completely outraged about this stupid FUP. To show my anger, this is what I've done.

I've sent a mail to the following,
sbm@bharti.com (Sunil Mittal, Chairman), ceo.direct@bharti.com, manoj.kohli@bharti.com (CEO, Bharti Airtel), atul.bindal@bharti.com (CEO, Bharti Telemedia, the subsidiary that offers broadband services)

The content of the mail is here - I blogged about it, so that others may know too.
http://itwofs.com/beastoftraal/2009/03/02/421/

If someone asks you how this FUP is really affecting anyone, use this example to clear all doubts.
http://itwofs.com/beastoftraal/2009/...ion-explained/

And, here's what Airtel's Speed Rationalization *really* means!
http://itwofs.com/beastoftraal/2009/...tionalization/

Spread the word - Airtel better not get their success to their heads. Collectively we can bring them down to a level they deserve.

^^Yep, soon everyone will follow. Every ISP is becoming a whore now. All they care about is money.

P.S- Sorry for my rudeness but I am frustrated these days with ISPs and their service.

Tata also implementing it. Only BSNL/MTNL might be the companies which won't follow this, every other ISP is expected to use this policy.

hello;
I've just retun from TRAI's website, after filling the feedback forum, about the topic here, giving the two links along with the 'broadbandforum.in link, for follow up action. However the feedback form is very limited upto 500 charactors only. Name should be in capital.. all the member here can follow the same method. However if some body want to discuss the case in detail it is better e-mail them. Carefull!! TRAI authorities are judicial.. hence your address should be polite and put concise points about your case to them.. they will propably listen if your email overwhelming them.
