^^ exactly. same here. What the F? Boycott Airtail.BTW, if it ever happens on a large scale, lets all take a pledge to ALL dump airtail and switch to some state run service provide. Let their sales dip and they will soon regret & roll back their decision.

The following are the caps I got from Airtel CC, these have also been posted by someone else:
kbps - cap
128 - 10GB
256 - 15GB
384 - 25GB
512 - 40GB
1MBps - 50 GB
Upon reaching the cap, the speed will be reduced to half except for the 384 kbps users who will be reduced to 256 kbps. This will be calculated on a billing cycle.
This was rolled out on 10-Feb. Airtel (according to CC) has informed TRAI that they will roll out the fair usage policy at a national level. No comment from TRAI yet.
This is not a pilot or a trial but a new policy. They are in the process of preparing the communication around this new policy and plan to send it out to the users "soon".
Just a thought - India became an IT superpower when we removed the barriers of entry into this industry - no redtapism, single window clearances, tax breaks, STPs etc. Just how well are we preparing ourselves for the future by putting "CAPS"? Why do I have to think before watching that lecture from MIT professors available for free online?
If the industry leader does this, there is no reason why others won't. It's a bad bad trend and will only keep India as a poor starving village on the internet.
Way to go Mr. Mittal - like a history maker - you have created history yet again by introducing the Internet holocaust on us netizens or should I say "bandwidth huggers".
I need to go get a drink to mourn the death of the India broadband story - it was young while it lived and lit many lives with it's 0s and 1s but it was not meant to be as the time is of darkness.

This probably means I have to watch my torrent downloads. I roughly download 2GB a day, not because of my speed but I have a lot of stuff on my harddrive and I don't like filling it even more without watching the stuff I already have. I don't think 50GB is fair after a considerable thought. I'm paying you 2000+ RS and you're giving me crappy 50 GB's? No thanks.
I never extected TRAI and DOT under the current moronic telecom minister A. Raja to do anythning better. He has given away free license and spectrum to some cellphone service providers and now the broadband providers (read Airtel and Tata) have been given a license to loot the customers. I just hope that this crappy government of UPA is kicked out in the coming general elections and we get a decent government by the end of May with an educated person as telecom minister because a 256 kbps unlimited "broadband" connection with a download cap is a robbery in the broad daylight.
