Yeah, I suppose we'll see what happens after everyone finishes their October billing cycle. But just as a background, my billing date is the 21st of each month, IIRC, and I only got this issue on the 31st. I wonder what's with the delay in my case? Static IP users seem to be FUP-ed randomly.
Spoke to a CC exec. today; he told me that this policy change has been known to him since 12th of October and that non-FUP Static IP is going to be phased out for everybody, no exceptions. Got one of their base plans, the 300 or so rupee discount I got in retention will carry over, thankfully, to lessen the blow. My usage is not that heavy (~150GB/mo), so I don't feel as hit by it to make a switch to someone else (not that I have many alternate options either).
Also while talking about 16Mbps feasibility, he said something about Airtel expanding its fibre network soon (in my locality!) within 3-4 months, so we're going to see those 24Mbps plans on their website soon in action I guess.
