Currently it is applicable in Chennai. Hopefully they will upgrade their plans for other locations too.

Yes data is unlimited.But speed is differential.
After 3.3TB, speed drops down to 2-5 Mbps ...
Unfortunately data consumption above 3.3TB is considered commercial usage.(i am not sure from where this came from but lately every service provider is following this limit)

Hopefully they follow suit in other cities as well. They were at a severe disadvantages with most other players offering higher data caps.

These calculations are based on average speed which a user can expect over a duration of one month. Because usage varies, has its peaks and troughs, so an assumed average speed of a month is used for calculating data usage.

They have taken a baseline of 10mbps or 1.25 (10/8) MBps constant and stable speed for a duration of one month.

10mbps x 60s x 60m x 24h x 31d=2,67,84,000Mb
2,67,84,000Mbit/8 = 33,48,000MB
33,48,000MB/1000(or 1024) = 3348GB

So the isps round it off too 3300 or 3333GB.

its good to have a lot of free data, this month i crossed 900GB mark in 24 days.
for me, 1500GB is sufficient.

How can we expect them to provide similar performance to Jio and Airtel with inferior (FTTC) infra? Speed should degrade somewhat.

Lol. They are providing 350Mbps on Cat 5e (FTTB) in Hyderabad.

I have seen people getting FTTH setup for even 100mbps plans in other cities and the installation costs are also higher.
