daddycool, tikona has a plan of 2mbps with circuit breaker 799 plan. But after the limit you are cut short to 512 kbpsTikona - in 499 after reaching INR 999 circuit , are you stopped the internet facility?I am talking of Mumbai
 
In Tikona in CB 499 - free usage of 5 gb@ @MBps then Rs10 paisa per MB till your bill reaches Rs 999 then "net" is cut, otherwise the 799 has free usage of 8Gb @ 2Mbps after that 512kbps no disruption in services.(mUMbai)

Any ways nice initiative to update their old plans and to attract further customers all at the expense of quality

Regards

As Karan mentioned the biggest circuit breaker plan of Tikona is CB499. The FMC799 which you are probably referring to is what Karan has also explained and is not a circuit breaker plan. Which one is better is totally dependent on your personal need. If your requirement is normally within 8GB but could be heavy in some months then the FMC799 is a decent plan. But if you are going to be almost always under 8 GB then the CB499 of Tikona or even the MTNL new 497 plan could save you money. In recent times my metered download on MTNL has been just around 2 GB per month so I think the new 497 plan will work for me. I am aware that my uploads will now be metered too.
I used to be happy with MTNL while I used their 2 mbps limited plans. My problems started after I switched to unlimited plans. My downloads peaked at over 20GB then. Not any more. So I am inclined to try this now. I will first update all my software and then switch :)
 
Popcorn,Usage is always individualized to the user , I have always looked for reliability and quality over usage in an ISP,what matters here is your preference over MTNL or Tikona or even Airtel.Plans can be innumerable but what is a use of a plan if the net is only down?Regards
 
So many complicated plans!!! Instead of reducing no. of plans, MTNL increases them thus increasing customer and call center frustration :DLMAOThe day MTNL introducs FUP on its 1Mbps U/L Rs 999 plan, is the day I will stop using internet ;P or probably not :)
 
If these plans get a good response then MTNL will be tempted to include the uploads in the usage calculations & maybe also start FUP :(

Yeah but seriously, if they have a plan to meter download only as before and they introduce another at the same or lower price where the data limit is 2x the old one metering both download and upload, we still benefit because for most of us the upload is still a fraction of the download unless you are a torrenter. Like they have a 598 (i think) which allows 2.5 GB download and they introduce 497 with 5 GB download plus upload, I believe I will get more than 2.5 GB download anyway before I complete my 5 GB quota.
What do you think?
 
I think you are right also we have to consider that in the DSL 598 they charge 0.60/MB whereas in the new Freedom 497 plan its 0.10/MB :D Personally I wish thay had capped it at 7GB per month limit, I guess I am being greedy, after I read the fine print I saw that my usage (DL+Upload) is usually just above 5GB :redface: , still I might give it a try for a month or too. If I don't like it then I will revert to the UL 599 plan AND hope they forget to reduce my sync rate :D
