A lot of people seem to be liking FUP method (slow speeds after data limit consumption). It makes me remember the Chota(Small) recharge campaign from Hutch/Vodafone where Irfan Khan says - its almost month-end and no funds left for a normal recharge , so we can now do a Chota Recharge & manage till end of month & beginning of month once salary is in, we will be kings again. Similarly people who may end up using their GBs by say 25-26 days , want some basic internet to bite the teeth & manage for the next 4-5 days after which they can go back to their normal ways.

Exactly what I was trying to convey (didnt know about the chhota recharge plans though)

As far as phone is considered, I've always stuck to full talktime recharges-- thats why I wouldnt have remembered.[OT] Paying an effective rate of 1p/2sec all over India, and 0.5p/msg to DOCOMO --using Pay Per site Gmail on 3G net @Rs 5 PM How do they make money on these plans?

4mbps 400-500GB within 2k 
Again, either limit on speed or data, but not both.
And 500GB in 2k? Not likely at this stage.
Didnt really understand how limited speed plans are bad for the network..
Also, if technically possible(if it doesnt harm the network), allow Unlimited BB at a slow speed after the bill limit is reached
It doesn't "harm" the network so much as decrease performance, rather significantly. It's better to have a file transfer over and done with in a short period of time so that the network is idle and available for others to use - it means that overall there is less congestion.

Users on data plans can purchase data at any time. I know, I know, that word purchase makes it sound bad, but we're only talking about Rs10/GB, not Rs500 as other providers are on their data plans. If you need a couple of GBs to get by for the rest of the month, it'll cost less than a litre of milk.

makes sense now..
I was looking from the perspective of:
Monthly BB budget Rs 1000 -- Bill cap set to Rs 1000(approx 50GB)
28th - 50GB runs out
possible choices:
1)buy 2-3GB more -- you cross your budget(the amount would be small, but would grow gradually over the months)
2) No net for these few days
3)Slow speed net- enough for browsing and checking mail

Yes.. Agree that people can buy 10 GB for say Rs.100 & manage for the 5 days with the "basic" usage they intend to do with 256 kbps for the remaining 5 days. People should start mapping to mobile usage & then they will start feeling more comfortable with Hayai's data plans

Rule out the third choice. You can only access the Hayai zone and the Hayai website to recharge your account online.

256 kbps will not be provided under any circumstances.

Also if you use only 6-7 GB, you would still have 3-4 GB + the approx 50 GB for next month as well
50 gb does not get added automatically(correct me if I'm wrong) unless you have a bill limit set.
