Most of the companies, in India are ready to implement FUP at some level or the other.Another well known ISP, wants to circumvent the FUP by reducing the plan speed by 50%, which according to TRAI guidelines would be cheating you in the following case.
Take the following scenario, you have a 256 Kbps connection, you reached your Fair Usage level, what this ISP does is it halves your speed and makes ur download speed to 128 Kbps, which according to TRAI is not even broadband, as broadband is defined only as connections beyond 256 Kbps and more.
At least Reliance is not doing that, and clearly mentioning that it will just charge u, not reduce ur speed without your knowledge.
Also, I would hate it if somebody is misusing the Internet so much that I barely get to do a voice chat on a Saturday night with my relative in US. I hope this will keep the super downloader’s and piracy kings under control.
1 of the advantages of airtels FUP over reliance is tht atleast u know what u will be paying for, also, it is deceptice advertising claiming that just abt 1% of usage(that too without counting upload)(0.375 MBps *30 days) is unlimited, compared to this airtels 50% is much better
