We need to watch cautiously, as once the heat starts dying down in forums and elsewhere, Airtel might do a downward revision of the fair usage once again. Like for eg they might change it from 50gb to 25-30gb on 256kbps and similarly for other speeds as well.
Does it help if we ask them to provide these limits in writing, ie hard copy rather than posting on their website. Which can be modified at anytime ?
Someone said Airtel is trying to divide the opposition. I agree with him.
Some people have also mentioned that the revision is only because of the
Tata FUP. I disagree on that point.
I'll take the blame for these
Airtel users have come out with all guns blazing complaining against the policy in various forums. Here the admin and others have also done a fabulous job of drafting a well written petition, which I believe has been read by a good number of people. Moreover, Airtel CC has been bombarded with people like you and me.
Depends whether you think we (as a collective) could do more damage to their bottomline compared to another private, national ISP ?
I think they got two birds with one stone
Not to say in the slightest that all the efforts made to date were for nothing of course.
I think Airtel will completely get off this idea of download caps only if many customers discontinue their services and mention FUP as the reason for discontinuing. But I dont think there will be many people who will be willing to discontinue with Airtel services with the new and better FUP limits as still today in my personal opinion no other ISP provides reliable connection as Airtel does.
increase in gb's is just to calm down the people over fup. If we stop now. there's no stoping them lateron
Agreed, as you say these limits can change tomorrow.
Isn't there any way to prevent this cartelisation of broadband industry?
So long as BSNL/MTNL provide a similar/competing service its not a cartel.
