"Airtel Fair Usage Policy" Limits on Unimited Broadband!

[Biplav]

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

 

[kalpik]

I noticed that they have not yet introduced this for the Delhi circle. I just checked Delhi and Karnataka and the rates in both of them are different. Plus Karnataka has that line about the fair use policy but the Delhi page doesn't. I didn't check any other state's page so dont know if Delhi has been left out by mistake or if its only binding on karnataka.

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

Hey is this REALLY CONFIRMED ???? If yes in Blore I am calling a Discon right away.

From what i heard its implemented in all metro cities.

Now that's an Indian ISP Plan, sucks donkey ****!! (Sorry for using such language but this has gone way beyond everything).

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]

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

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

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

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

 

[confused!!]

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

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...

 

[enticer86]

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

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]

^^^^^ 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)

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]

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.

I have called them but they said it's totally free n unlimited...I think they r not aware of this fact yet...
