TRAI has no relation to FUP. Airtel is lying if they claim that TRAI is behind FUP.

Airtel tells me that this is a TRAI policy and not theirs. They say all providers have to do this absurd rationing. Does anyone know if this is true? Or is it just smooth sales talk?

I do think that Sujit is correct. I chose a plan which offered me good speed and i thought i could download as much as i want but after sometime bam! now instantly one day airtel messages me saying that I exceeded the FUP quota. Now i wont get speeds till the next billing month, I really do think that airtel should reconsider this plan.

I have the swift1099 plan. And I remember Airtel website quoted about 100 GB of usage as download cap.
Being reduces to 15GB is obviously reuction in services without reduction in FEE !!!!
Now this is a scandal. They should either restore our service or reduce their price.
See, a cap from 100GB right down to 15 GB is not acceptable.

with due respect to your comments, how do you exactly define the abnormal usage patterns? When one is paying for an "Unlimited" bandwidth, is the "unlimited" word not enough? If there was no such plan called "Unlimited", i assure you that none of us here would have been posting their comments :) This is the service provider's incompetency to keep up to the customer's/consumer's growing demands even when they're already ripping money off their customers/consumers.

Firstly not being informed that the FUP will be active is a bitch. India already lagged behind in internet speed service, when other countries have speeds like 64mbps, what India had to offer was 8mbps, which had a limit on it. Internet rates is a blasphemy in India, outside it is dirt cheap. But who cares, we are ready to pay whatever, give us the goddam speed and unlimited internet back. This is definitely a step backward for India, my internet speed now is what i used to have 7 years back. What the hell, who would agree to this crap. I hope they revoke this policy asap, before they drive people nuts. All this corporate bullshit, hope our country moves forward, rather that backward.

Instead of screwing every customer, they should just watch for any abnormal usage patterns for finding out just the handful of abusers if there are any. They should make an intelligent and robust system instead of these foolish gimmicks to increase their bottomline. FUP is not Fair Usage Policy.. it is F**k U Policy.

FUP is totally unfair policy. It is a policy to mint the extra money without providing better connectivity.
thanks
