Excitel suspended my account (with unproven claim)

Do you know what was your approximate consumption. As far as I remember they don't bug you until you cross 4-5 TB/month.

it was around 3+ TB, and they aren't even communicating with me properly

@Sushubh whats your monthly data consumption like on excitel ?

over 3 TB sir

 

[4alse]

I have seen usage more than 2 tb myself and they didn't bother. How much data u consumed? They do have algorithm or something in place to check whether any account is being used commercially.

it's over 3 TB and they aren't willing to communicate with me properly.

 

[igloo]

So they do have 3 or 3.3TB limit and yet claim it true unlimited.

This is interesting, I'll try hitting this limit next month maybe. So far I've never been over 2 TB in a month.

 

[Sushubh]

right. i also doubt i come anywhere close to 2TB. it just feels like i download way too much because i have pi running 24x7. but in reality, it's more like 20-30GB max in a day.

Whatever may be the case... Excitel should have transparent policy about usage.

They should clearly define what is "Commercial Usage"...

@Sushubh what does your pi do that it consumes such huge data?

 

[Rehan Kumar]

You can use pi as a media server
For example I have a Pi which has qbittorrent-nox and samba installed along with an attached HDD to save those files
Pi 4 can download torrent torrents at around 25 MBps (200ish Mbps) on qbittorrent-nox which is good enough for personal use

My pi2 struggles with both transmission and openvpn running together
