Re: "Airtel Fair Usage Policy" Limits on Unimited Broadband!
Guys, checkout. Airtel has revamped their download limit for 512kbps connection (unlimited wala)
Now the final limit is 100GB.

Re: "Airtel Fair Usage Policy" Limits on Unimited Broadband!
50 GB, 100 GB whatever....there shud be no download caps at all irrespective of the theoretical download limit that we can achieve under particular connection speed.

Re: "Airtel Fair Usage Policy" Limits on Unimited Broadband!
Assuming a Month has 30 days & you download 24/7, then with 512 Kbps connection which means 64KBps download speed, here is the usage.
64 KBps means 3840 KB or 3.75 MB per minute download. 3.75 MB per minute means 225 MB per hour 225 MB per hour means 5400 MB or 5.2 GB in 24 hrs 5.2 GB in a day means 159 GB approx in a month. Its bad that sucH policy is forced upon us, but even then, with 512 kbps Connection, you can not download more then 159 GB in a month anyway. With proper control, you can get all your work done in 100 GB limit on 512 kbps plan too. then again, what is it that You have to download? Even if you try Linux distributions etc, even then you won't be able to download more then 159 GB in a month. At 512 kbps speed, 120 GB limit should be termed as fair. 250 GB for 1 mpbs connection.

Re: "Airtel Fair Usage Policy" Limits on Unimited Broadband!
^Dude, did u check there is only one plan which has unlimited D/L option.
Its 512 only. Previously there was 1MBps unlimited plan, though the price for it was outrageous but, it was there. Now there is no MBps D/L plan. Even the Broadband top-ups don't upgrade ur speed. In top-ups u get max 512Kbps D/L speed. Those lucky people who could afford 1MBps @that price, are enjoying it now.

Guys dont fall for this "it seems fair" crap. Bandwidth is already so expensive when compared to the rest of the world, now they have even started capping it. If we dont voice out our disapproval now, then be prepared for even more $hitty plans in the future. |

It's a well known business tactics that you bargain a shopkeeper will put selling price higher than usual and then when customer bargains he will lower it to some point but still not the exact fair value. The same kutneeti (tactic) is applied by these ISPs to slowly start the trend and then later they will constrict it more till we become habitual of such things and sacrifice our importance. |

NO mention of it anywhere. Not even the Broad-band top-ups provide any MBps D/L facility.

When Airtel introduced FUP, they revamped all the BB plans. I've already posted screenies for that. Again, I've 384 Kbps Unlimited plan, even its not present in their site.  Now, guys this is how my D/L upload thing looks on Airtel 384kbps UL. I'm still getting speed as previous. So....I guess new rules are applied to new applications/connections only or what?
