Does AIRTEL counts UPLOAD in FUP?

[mrintech]

Just wanted to know, Does AIRTEL counts amount of Uploaded Data in its Fair Usage Policy?

 

[Metalspree]

Indeed these idiots do which is why i had to shift to seedbox.

 

[agantuk]

They count every single byte that passes through their network, either originating or terminating on your machine

 

[sultanofswing]

Of course. I end up crossing 30GB 'limit' every month cuz of maintaining ratio. 256k from 2mbps becomes very cruel then

 

[mehrotra.akash]

YES

Its a data transfer/data usage limit, not a download or upload limit

 

[asingh]

Any thing which traverses your port. All ISPs do this. Welcome to the land of FUP.

MTNL doesn't count Upload ,,,,,that's why my seed ratio was also 2.0 even when I was limited download

 

[Rahul++]

Yes, not only Failtel but other ISPs also counts each and every packet transferred.

Yes, not only Failtel but other ISPs also counts each and every packet transferred.

Except for Reliance which does not have a FUP in place yet...

 

[DarkAngel]

If reliance connection is good in your area then go for it. Friend has one for the past 2 months or so in Trivandrum. Zero downtime.

Speeds also decent for the price on offer. I guess they are the only ISP with true unlimited plan.

If you are in Hyderabad then beam is best. They do have FUP but post FUP speeds are 2Mbps and UL is not counted for FUP! (B-Max 1020)

I guess u forgot to mention this -

*Conditions apply

Beam is best only for their internet speeds. The ping is consitently inconsistent. And if u face any issues, the downtime is more than a day for sure and will extend even for a week in areas where they have thier worst service (most of the places fall into this category). Customer support is all about - "I understand your issue sir, I am raising a ticket here, Within 24 hrs our technician will assists you sir" and this repeats everytime you call them.

i attained peace by relieving myself out of this hell and am happily enjoying BSNL with thier awesome ping consitancy and good enough support (which turns up in a day and at times extremely fast - 2 hrs after raising a complaint)

Seed ratio is what your torrent client reports to the ISP. Upload will happen, still.

 

[swatkats]

• Indeed every single ISP counts Upload Except ACT and BEAM.

yaa , but upload is not charged .....

 

[madnav]

It is only logical to count upstream and downstream traffic in FUP.

Wouldn't people troll them by hosting FTP servers on their Fastest and cheapest connections then?

You may be feeling good by seeding but ISP wouldn't care for your ethical contribution to piracy.

I know. But the torrent tracker does not see the switch. It picks reporting from the client.
