Good start. Can we get hold of any senior officials of Airtel who manages the packages and fup policies and tell them what we want?? Few days back I was watching a tv show in NDTV where an airtel official was telling that 3gb per month is enough for most Indians and infact its the average usage of indians when asked by a student as to when will prices drop of 4G and this was his answer and he told that 6gb is more than enough for 999 in 4G and I was like WTF!! :eek: I dont know who gives them these surveys that 3gb is average consumption of most Indians... So I guess we are not Indians as we download above 100GB per month (Most IBF members do). So we are not countable in Indian users right??
 
Well, the most obvious point, (Credit: Hayai/MG ) - when its data that costs & not speed, why are you throttling speeds on data plans. Why have ridiculous foolishbytes & what not. Why are plans promoted with download movies. songs etc when most plans have a FUP which would mean only 2-3 movies being watched.

A few years ago, there was a controversy about bones in Baba Ramdev's medicines. He was called for a panel discussion by NDTV, along with a communist. Baba Ramdev said that he will not talk to idiots and call any doctor for discussion on the topic.

Similarly, somebody should tell NDTV to call a sensible person for discussion, not this person from Airtel who says 6 GB is more than enough and 3 GB is the average consumption.

Moreover, 3 GB may be the average consumption; because ISPs like Airtel offer such pathetic speeds, particularly on 2G that people give up browsing/downloading on phones (there are more mobile internet users than PC internet users in India).

the division based on speed is simply to rake in more money !! there is no other explanation for it.
