I have lost access to my old accs here so don't remember exactly when I joined here, probably in 2013-14 for some mtnl modem settings.
Before mtnl all internet plans (data card, wisp) I used had FUP and mtnl was 512 kbps unlimited then there was some promo offer so I upgraded to 2mbps with FUP but upload was still 512kbps which sucked. I avoided getting mtnl for many years because it was sarkari and experience with their telephone services was not very encouraging.
To download large files I had to keep my pc on overnight and in morning it failed or setup was corrupted

IDM was a blessing for pausing downloads. Real debrid still exist but then it was really necessary to download file from slow file hoster.
