Is airtel cheating with customers again?

[Ishu Gupta]

I am also using google DNS and I get full (extra) speed on torrents.

Looks like it is there preference, to monitor P2P activity. In your case they are not monitoring it yet

@OP: Airtel is known to throttle torrent speeds.

As I had told you earlier, Airtel is a bad ISP if you are into torrents. Bad ISP for heavy downloaders, with bad FUP and this.

Eh airtel is fine on my 2M 40GB plan. They do not even enforce the cap on mine

Their FUP is pretty absurd. Its not always there
The speeds are usually back to 4mbps at night. I have noticed it here and at my friends place with 2mbps airtel.

Looks like its not that bad.

I torrent frequently on airtel conn, never faced a prob. Get around 1-1.5GB/hour which is fine by me.

I did the glasgow(???) test and found my conn. was not being throttled.

Same here. 4mbps/30GB.

Even one of my friends is reporting no FUP after he crossed his limit on 4Mbps/30GB.

But the day it starts working...

^^ even to me no fup, Never faced cap. may be for 2-4 days my speed decrease around 18-20 of month but that too very rarely. No fup from months (I guess more then a year) even not at my frnds who got new connection..

On the contrary my connections gives crazy speeds sometimes. couple of weeks ago I got Downloading speed of 200+ kbps for complete two days. downloaded 19+ Gb on that two days. well it is a big bump as I am on 512 KBps plan on which I get 70 kbps

I do see decrease of speed on peek time I guess.. morning around 9-11 am and evening 5-7 pm. even that very rarely.

This should explain how VPN masking works:

Any good but free VPNs around?

I wanna access content on steam that is blocked in India

Not worried about that tbh. I'll switch to BSNL the day they FUP me.

 

[Extreme Gamer]

one way to reduce chance of that is by not changing your plan to the newer ones.

I wont upgrade to the new 75GB plan which is cheaper.

If it aint broke, why fix it?

 

[Krow]

My friend with 4 Mbps 30GB got FUPed! He stopped using the connection post FUP, couldn't adapt.

 

[SlashDK]

I'm using the same 4 Mbps/30 GB plan. The download speeds used to come only after 11pm. Now I've switched to google DNS and am now getting 2mbps(from speedtest) and 200kbps download all the time. A constant good speed is better than crazy slow speeds.

 

[Sarath]

^Complain to airtel. You should get 4mbps always. Or maybe your apartment is filled with torrent hogs.

 

[Ishu Gupta]

+1
Complain. They will sort it out quickly.
They might FUP you if you are nonFUPed right now.

 

[SlashDK]

I've already complained 4-5 times last month. They kept saying that they will send an engineer but never did. So I finally got fed up and let it be.

Threaten to change your ISP.

Threaten to change your ISP.
