I'm going to meet this person today. I'll ask about the FUP issue but basically the idea is that they are getting complaints that Airtel is not doing enough with speeds and that their bandwidth can manage more. NCR are going to be the first, area wise, to get the 2 mbps upgrades. I'll definitely give my input.Also, I have informed this person about traffic shaping of bit torrents and will definitely look into it.

from what i remember, most of their plans already have 2mbps as the minimum speeds. a few might be there with slower speeds. but of course... with airtel, it is all about FUP limits these days. speeds are irrelevant.

Please do ask your friend if he knows anything about why Airtel is sucking so much these days with regard to the latency etc. and whether and why they are doing traffic shaping w.r.t. streaming videos etc. - even with a 4Mbps connection and a 150GB FUP which I don't even reach close to, it is such an amazingly frustrating experience to even try to watch a video these days. These fools should hang themselves for taking one of the best ISPs in the country and drowning it in the gutter.
ok. just wanted to say that this thread was about crappy pings... airtel guy admitted that the problem was in the backend and it seems to be better now. pings are fine most of the times. got some major disturbance for a while earlier today. do get it checked... the problem is definitely in their backend.

I have tomato firmware running on my Wifi router which has bw accounting. So all my usage from PC,Laptop,Mobile & iPad are accounted centrally. When I hit 100% usage on my 75Gb plan, the router shows ~70GB for the past two months. So Airtel seems to be eating up 5Gb on my 75Gb plan.Another point to note is, when you have a crappy last mile connection, the 80% usage redirection problem felt the most as the modem gets resets very often and they show this message when it connects.chomemaniac, I thought you had an 'unlimited' connection without any FUP attached. How come now you are into this plan...
because i am on a 2099 150GB FUP plan? and i do not really get any special treatment from airtel. 
i guess i do sometimes wrt complaints about problems with my connections. but even then it is a bagful of hurt every time.
