This is really not happening.

First Airtel then Tata. After that reliance. Now a new ISP implementing that idiotic policy. Somebody give them a dictionary and tell them what word "Unlimited" means. clearly unfair to innocent subcribers as most of them won't be aware of this. so they would lured into such cheap marketing tactics.

MTNL has finally rolled out its 3G Jadoo wireless broadband service in Mumbai, which allows for speeds of up to 3.6Mbps via the High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology. But the service provider has also used the opportunity to tag the dreaded ‘Fair Usage Policy’ download limits while doing so.

Ever since Airtel came out with its ‘Fair Usage Policy’ in March, a number of other ISPs have jumped onto the bandwagon. In the end, the consumer is left frustrated and with a lot of questions: How is the Fair Usage Policy calculated? Who determines that ‘10GB’ is the amount of Web surfing that a normal user needs? More importantly, what is a power user supposed to do?

Broadband and Internet users in India have been suffering too long due to mediocre services, but the silent suffering is now being further exploited by ISPs. We will be contacting some service providers with these questions and more.

Now,

Who is implementing it next?

All fcuking losers. specially Airtel as this FUP concept was started by them:@ :@ :@: :@
 
I can still understand the reasoning behind applying FUP on wireless broadband services... you don't want people leeching away to glory on mobile internet and thereby saturating the already limited bandwidth and putting additional stress on already unstable infrastructure.

I just hope MTNL doesn't bring FUP on triband, wired connections. :no:

I understand the rational behind FUP but the way is misleading.

Selling a limited connection with 10GB monthly CAP by calling it "UNLIMITED" is clearly cheating:| if you want to limit, then simply sell it by telling its a High Speed connection with xx monthly bandwidth cap.

Why mislead customers?

+1.

I know many "unlimited" users on various networks who are not even aware of the FUP thing.

True and agreed.... the way is nothing but intentional mislead. Don't bring up fancy words like Fair Usage and sh!t... you wanna cap it, don't call it unlimited, as simple as that.
 
These guys are cheaters and purely duping us in name of Unlimited internet.

How can it be unlimited with a cap ? Finding some fancy adjective to use dosen't justify their policies and cheatings,frauds
 
Ahahaha, i once spoke to Airtel CC supervisor - the discussion was FUP Vs Unlimited.

After confirming around 10 - 12 times that my plan should or shouldn't have FUP, the agent said there is no FUP on it, i knew there is cuz one of my friend told me, spoke tp SUP for this, i said why tagg it unlimited when u cap the DL capacity after certain GB, he said to give everyone fair usage, i said - then remove word unlimited from the plan cuz its no longer unlimited & this mean u don't have enough bandwidth & also if u take full sum of money why should we compromise of taking full service.

Ah!, now if i use 512kbps scheme of airtel which has FUP on it, after 25gb dL my speed goes down to 256kbps, would they charge me with 256kbps speed or the plan of 512kbps have?
 
what's the point of spending 2400 bucks on a mobile broadband plan if there's a 10gb limit set to it??
