Is there a fair usage policy on Excitel Broadband?

[john_dud]

Already crossed 1TB mark, waiting to see how it goes from here

4.6 TB crossed and counting, one more day with 1 TB+ usage. So far only testing downloads over http, I've automated the testing now.

@john_dud Here is a software (to stress test your internet continuously. Do not use the TCP+UDP+Ping stress-test continuously. I did that and my ISP was throttling me after some 3-4 minutes, eventually pausing down my entire connection within 5 minutes. My internet would work 2-3 minutes after I stopped stressing it. Might be the automatic DDoS mitigation at my ISP; nothing really uses download and upload over TCP and UDP simultaneously for 3-4 minutes. Use TCP only + ping to stress your connection for as long as you want.

Finally got the account suspended at about 5 TB+. Sending email to get it reactivated but we know for sure now that excitel has a FUP of around 5 TB or so and they're falsely advertising it as unlimited.

The cse told me to drop an email then a guy will come and inspect the premises for "commercial usage" and then the connection will be reactivated. I told him that you can actually cross 2 TB+ on a 300Mbit connection in 24 hours. They don't warn people is the worst part of it all.

Have you contacted the LCO about it?

 

[john_dud]

Sent the email just now, let's see how long they take.

5TB is a good enough limit but they should be upfront about this.

 

[john_dud]

Not only should they be upfront about it, they should warn the users when they're near the limit as well. Suspending without notice is stupid.

 

[igloo]

But they won't be able to sell it as true unlimited if these things are revealed.
Somebody should update them that LCO wont sell their connection with triple nat as airtel /jio offers 3.3TB with public ipv4/ipv6 addresses.
