Yes, Admin and I are working on getting the petition up and running. Rest assured as soon as it is up, we will let everyone here know. And of course, a lot will depend on members here spreading the news (facebook, e-mail etc.) to their friends and so on.


Admin, I would suggest that we include the maths calculation below in any webpage that may be designed against the AFUP.

\"A simple Maths.
A 256kbps airtel broadband connection has 256kbps upload & 256kbps download.
ie, 256/8 = 32KB for 1 second.
1min= 32KB*60 = 1920KB.
1hour = 1920KB*60 = 115200KB = 115MB.
1 day = 115MB*24 = 2760MB = 2.76GB.
30 days = 2.76GB*30 = 82.8GB.
so a user can download 82.8GB in a 256kbps connection/month.
also he can upload 82.8GB/month.
So totaly a user data transfer/month is 82.8+82.8 = 165.6GB
Now airtel gives 10% of the data transfer 15GB to its users.
In 384kbps connections, its 248.8GB/month.
Aitrel gives 10% ie 25GB/month.
512kbps connection, its 331.77GB/month
Airtel gives 40GB/month.
1mbps connection it is 663.5GB/month
Airtel gives 50GB/month\"

Here's what I was able to calculate, though admittedly, I did not account for uploads being part of the quota. Will redo the figures later in the day. Is it safe to say that download speed:upload speed = 1:1 for all the plans?
 
I think airtel is more onto loosing their customers rather that getting new ones. Might be they are oversubscribed and FUP is just and excuse to reduce the customers and maintain QOS as per trai norms. hmmmm dont know ... all sort of questions!!!!!!:wall:
