Guys, i think FUP is Fully UNFAIR Policy rather than Fair Usage Policy ....

...LOL!

Ok, when you say unlimited plan, any restriction is unfair. But show me any operator who gives you an "unlimited" plan better. My friends in the US are always surprised when I say "unlimited" plan. They have no such thing, just fast connection with large caps, sometimes unofficial.

The Great part about this changes in the tariffs is the download cap limit. It has greatly being increased.

Also Is FUP applicable for unlimited plans?

And i personally think Rs 1099 + Tax is the best plan, considering one is getting 512Kbps. Or any suggestions on the a better plan. I download heavily.

Yes FUP is applicable for unlimted plans ONLY. How can you think of an FUP for a plan you pay for your used bandwidth.

And your idea of the plans is wrong, the newspaper write up is not correct. Please refer post #3 in this thread for the tariff and bandwidth.

OKay, But then Having FUP for Unlimited Plans defeats the purpose of the UNLIMITED plan itself.

And how do they know or rather how will we know that we have touched the upper limit of download? Why reduced speeds?

How come the tariffs are reduced? :confused: Previously in Kolkata the 256 kbps unltd connection was Rs. 649 plus taxes, now it is Rs. 799 plus taxes.:(

I guess the increased bandwidth is only downstream.

Plan 1099

What I am saying is that AirTel 1099, you will get a speed of 384 kpbs from 0600 hrs to 2200 hrs, Monday to Saturday, 1 Mbps from 2200 hrs to 0600 hrs, Monday to Saturday, and they say 1 Mbps on Sunday, whole day, so that should be 1 Mbps from 2200 hrs Saturday night to 0600 hrs Monday morning, I haven't gone through the Sunday experience yet.
