I sent this to the nodal officer:
Hi!

Please refer the attached email conversation for your reference. This is regarding the \"Fair\" Usage Policy Airtel has come up woth recently (as mentioned in various tarrif plans and also http://airtel.in/applications/xm/Fair_Usage_Policy.pdf ). I am really shocked to see that an ISP of such high repute can act in such an irresponsible manner! Can you please explain to me the following:

i. \"a small number of users\" are those who use more than a mere 10-13% of data usage (as per the respective data caps you have put on the site)
ii. A \"generous usage level is\" = 10-13% data usage.
iii. Even slow speeds like 128/256/384/512kbps can impair Airtel's network performance.
iv. A data usage of more than 10-13% will result in customer being penalised by reduced speeds by upto 50%.
v. In the age of Gbps and Mbps, Airtel has decided to reduce of speeds by 50% in 128/246/348/512kbps Unlimited plans.

When you promise you will give an unlimited connection at said speed, i expect you to keep your promise. This is just looting your customers in broad daylight! If you cannot provide true unlimited connections, its really a shame you people call yourselves an \"Internet Service Provider\", when you cannot even provide unlimited connections at such slow speeds. Anyway, i really want an explaination to this policy in a way that can convince me, else be sure that ill not let it go. And its not just me you owe an exlaination to, its a lot of other of your customers too (https://broadband.forum/airtel-broadband/41311-airtel-sets-limit-unlimited-plans-airtel-fair-usage-policy/). If we users dont get what we were promised, be sure we will do anything possible to make sure the word is out about how you are looting people.

one thing i would like to tell you that airtel's FUP is far more liberal than other ISP's.with comcast if you exceed your 250gb limit your connection is cutwith At&T if you exceed then for each extra gb you will be charged $1.I might sound like supporting airtel but we have to face the reality.If it is acceptable in US then it is legal everywhere.Only the govt can rein in on this.
 
Hehe.. Just got a call from the nodal office.. The female said there is no such policy.. Its unlimited connection. I asked her to open airtel.in and check the tarrifs.. She opened and then said please hold let me check.. Then after 5 minutes said, can i call you back? lol i said sure!
 
i had raised a complaint about FUP. oen of the 'supervisors' called me jsut now, to tell me that it has not been enforced on my connection yet..but they will do it. i told him to google a'irtel fair usage policy'..lol. they'll screw me, ill screw them.even if i can pull 10 customers away from airtel, i would sleep happy.
 
yes. If Airtel has decided to selectively import Fair usage policy implemented by western ISP's, it should also import their multi-megabit speeds and tariff plans on which these policies are implemented. As someone rightly said if utld usage @ 256K, 384 K and 512 K (which are bullock cart speeds when compared to western ISP's) impairs their network..they should shut down their ISP business..
 
Ah Screw all this! I am downloading 24/7 now, just so that i waste bandwidth. I dont care whether it impairs their network. Up Yours Airtel!
 
you got company mate! :)
