ISP, Area, City: Airtel, Anna Nagar, Chennai
Speed and FUP: 2 mbps, 25 GB
Post Fair Usage Speeds: 512 kbps
Amount inc Taxes: 1,765
Performance: 100% or more of promised speed on downloads and torrents. No downtime.

Yes, I know. This is a plan from 2010 and I'm crazy to be paying that much. But until 2 months ago, there was no FUP on my account and I was downloading >400 GB every month. The plan is an old dual speed (day/night) plan that was very popular on this forum back in 2009.

Airtel's smartbytes page always displayed 'Not valid for your DSL id'. But as of two months ago, a 25 GB cap appeared overnight, speed was reduced to 512 kbps on crossing 25 GB (which I cross within a day). I've been fighting with Airtel for the past two months and the issue is now with their appellate division. They are refusing to restore my unlimited downloads and I am stuck on 512 kbps. I have no option but to switch to some other limited plan.

From discussion with their appellate division, it appears that Airtel is clearing out legacy plans with no download limit. Airtel users on legacy plans with no FUP limit, beware. Airtel did this to me and they can do it to you anytime. Check your Smartbytes page every day and complain as soon as they switch you out.

Performance : 4.5/5 (minimal downtime), Decent pings (80ms or below generally), 7-9 Mbps speeds in general.
