It would've been more sensible if it was 300GB and Rs.4999

awesome plan. 50mbps and the given bandwidth quota will get over in half a day. and you get to pay 9 grand :rofl:
edit - although i suppose 200gb is more than most of us even use in a month.

^^But where are you going to store all the data that u dload if they give you 500GB or even 1TB? Are you going to buy a new 1TB HDD every 15days or 1month?
But one good thing is, they are atleast giving us an option of 50mbps though at bit high premium.

somebody file a PIL against all these bloody ISP and somehow make them release the bandwidth.
that too before the govt starts taking interest in the cyber laws.

^^These plans are aimed at people who download few huge files(like HD movies) but want to download them VERY VERY quickly.
These plans are not for those who spends their life downloading the whole internet(like most of us
).
Even though i don't like this plan much, i don;t feel like cribbing about it nor scold Airtel. Frankly, Airtel is doing a decent job even though they hardly have any competition.
Situation woul've been different if there was any other Nationwide Private Operator like Vodafone...

Why cant they provide a simple 2mbps no fuped connection for 1 grand rather than introducing such idiotic plans.
Airtel, Instead of 9k i would pay would 20k/per month. but just make is Unlimited without any data caps
Yes, sir. there are number of services, its just there the bandwidth to get these content is missing.
E.g YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
Once, there is proper internet. these kinds of services would raining like cats and dogs
Don't really need that much space. 1tb-2tb should enough. because you can reclaim the space by deleting after watching the Movie
actually, I think they are misinformed about their target segment. they would be surpresed on how many connections they would sell if they start launching faster UL plans. we lets face it, nobody likes data caps.
Infact data caps are reason by which billing errors happen and average customer does not understand why browsing youtube is counted in download, because for them its not a download. in laymen sense, they are just viewing it and NOT downloading it:lol: plus, there is issue of download of mistake - like I clicked on a large file my mistake or a malware download without my permission. by the time I realize my mistake - it would have been already download. Also, accounted in my bandwidth quota
so better is ISPs launch UL plans and get free of this headache of constanly checking their usage from customers. Airtel, Give us Tension Free Internet

Ok so this will last a total of 10hrs at full speed.. Right... Good goin airtel..
Only drawback in this "plan" that I see is the exorbitant cost. At those rates they should be offering the consumers 100mbit lines.
Thing is, even American ISPs have a FUP policy. In fact they are not even nice about it that your speed will be reduced to half when you go over the limit. They simply cut off your connection. No questions asked.
For example, Comcast has a 250GB per month limit on all their plans, be it 2mbps or 20mbps.
As far as downloading goes, I am sure not all of us watch each and every movie that is released on IPT. Not all of us watch each and every episode of each and every show. So breaching that limit should not be too easy. If you are a downloading freak, then such a plan is obviously not for you. MTNL is the way to go then.

200GB is more than enough . Those who are complaining about the 10 hr thing , well you get 1 Gbps in Korea . That doesnt mean you will always keep it on and leech 250 TB . The only problem with the plan is that its ridiculously expensive , shouldve been 1/3r of this price to be an excellent choice.
Agree with you there. Most of the people don't know that they are downloading even while browsing and watching videos. That and also that they think that the 100MBPS in their system tray is their internet speed. Then they wonder why they are not getting that speed.Gaurish said:

I have only when objection to Fair Usage policy i.e. ISPs makin false claims.
* When they have limit of xxGB/month on plan, why you they advertise it as unlimited and try to trap innocent customers into their marketing gimmicks.
This is just plain wrong! no amount of justification can make this practice right
Infact I have no problems with imposing limits/caps, if they improve overall Quality of service. example: plans should be sold as 50Gb bandwidth at Rs750/- with speeds of 2mbps.monthly bandwidth quota and plan speed should clearly mentioned
I am would be more than happy to adopt such plans

There is nothing wrong with this plan except for the pricing.
People complaining about just how quickly the 200GB limit will be reached when downloading continuously at 50Mb/s need to shut up.

.Well sad thing is all abt lie by isp its more that 70% of bandwidth is not in use for airtel. Its just they love to lie and make customer pay for whatever they wish as there is no rivals for airtel and many other operatores. as far as this 50mbps is concern well 200gb a month is not bad. because if u download 200gb of stuff i am sure no one have that much of time to watch all 200gb in same month.
