As mgcarley has posted on another thread, 2 Mbps with no caps for 1000 Rs/mo won't cover their wholesale procurement costs. So I guess that gets thrown out of the window.I wish to see true broadband (with reasonable caps of around 50GB-100GB or so), that should be fine. Or just a slowing down to half the speed once the cap is reached.
Although I was against Airtel's FUP, what I've seen in countries I've stayed outside of India are ridiculously high caps (which one might not even hit), and reasonably priced broadband, in terms with the cost of living of those states.50-100 GB caps are common abroad, aren't they?
50-100GB caps are not going to work for you if there are legit services like netflix, Amazon video on demand easily available. it seems reasonable for a lot of us who are using the net only for browsing or social networking and even casual downloads. but web is more than that. it is turning into a content delivery platform. and these limits simply do not make sense.

So that doesn't makes the broadband providing companies abroad a Holy Cow ! Almost in every part of the world broadband is considered as a highly milking sector, isn't it ?

The problem here is that people just don't care about trivial things like Broadband. Majority of the public are satisfied using crappy EDGE services on their cell phones. Only a small percentage of the population have Internet awareness unlike the USA, or any other European country for that matter. Since people are not aware, ISP's try to rip them off by selling slow 256 kbps plans with 'unlimited' usage.
In short we're being milked even harder than the rest of the world (except maybe Africa?)

MOst of these companies fails to upgrade their own backbone infrastructure to maintain the high load from increased broadband speeds, then they blame the customers for slowdown.In stead of FUPing all the customers why don't they do it with individual customers ( if the reason behind this is cost/GB related), where someone is using too many GBs in a low priced plan.& - if it is required because of slow down of traffic in certain areas then why not put more POPs in that particular areas & increase backhaul bandwidth capacity to neutrilise the effect.
