Didn't know if I should have started a new thread for this... but is Hayai going to have any kind of bandwidth throttling? With my current 4Mbps connection, I am quite satisfied with the speed, and have so far not hit my 150GB FUP, but the main thing that irks me is that it seems Airtel is doing some serious bandwidth throttling. Forget torrents - even for video streaming (which is something that I would say increasingly is coming under mainstream ways that people are using the internet) the experience with Airtel is painful. A few months back, Megavideo for example used to be seamless - no buffer time, just straight playback. Now megavideo is something that stutters and buffers every 10 seconds! (While the same video on other sites like VideoBB works perfectly). I am not too technically sound, but this seems like Bandwidth throttling. Anyway, I just wanted to know where Hayai stands on this issue, (if it has taken any stand at all).

As per the video, we're directly peered with Youtube, so performance on that service should be excellent. On other services, that's subject to network conditions, but we won't throttle users if we can avoid it. As of now I'm getting no buffering watching videos on Megavideo in HQ.

airtel is being a bitch throttling speeds on their current packages which are no longer unlimited in nature. almost all their customers are now on FUPed connections which means that customers get high speeds for a limited amount of data. and it is very unreasonable for them to throttle torrents during the day time when the customer is able to download only a pre-defined GBs of data on his package at peak speed.i am hoping that Hayai would not have to end up doing this especially for customers who are paying per GB of data or are not hitting the soft FUP limits on fixed price packages.

i'm also facing the same problem on megavideo even at night when my speed is doubled!!!
i'm just waiting for them to launch in delhi so i can watch videos without buffer & in a better quality(currently even on youtube quality set on 360p i have to wait for it to buffer :X )!!

What is the logic behind throttling by ISPs ? I mean how does throttling a particular traffic help these ISPs ? They already have FUP to prevent abuse of network...what purpose does throttling solve ?
1000 users using 2 mbps bandwidth uses 2 Gbps of the network at that given time for the isp.. If you don't care about quality and want to cram 1250 users in the same 2 Gbps, you'll advertise 2 Mbps and throttle the speed per user to 1.6 Mbps, basically to cram more than fair users in to the same amount of bandwidth.
