SSV has the right to charge certain fees, that is, the 3k - how do you expect them to pay for their infrastructure?
Secondly, 24Online is a client/server system that any ISP can use - it monitors the flow of traffic for the purposes of accounting (and thus, billing, where applicable).
Though the extra Rs50 fee for DC++ is a bit much, I do understand it to a point: they probably are buying 100mbit/s or 1Gbit/s lines between Fivenet's CO in Sion and themselves, rather than having dark fibre (which is very expensive).
As such, they have limited overall capacity to work with and so you're basically buying the right to use a bit more of the capacity which they've purchasd.
@mathew
you don't know real scenario here, there is almost double the amount paid by fivenet user than the 24 online user for same package! even if i agree upon buying bandwidth thing. still u must agree that almost 90% users are normal users who only surf and chat so they don't consume much bandwidth, also cheap packages being offered in remote areas(by remote i mean places like thane,mulund that are equally far from sion as navi mumbai) how do you explain this?

so the real thing is that they want more and more ppl take 24 online which has blocked torrents, very sad download speed and thats how they invent new charges for fivenet users like line maintainance and dc++. the sole reason as you rightly pointed out is there monopoly that makes us pay this extra 1.5k.
Says cant go below 3000Rs. even for 3months.... Wht you think should be the ideal charges for 1month & 3months after adding tax & LMC.
