Taadaa!!
Another one joins! I dont understand any logic of imposing "Fair Usage Policy" on 64kbps account. What bandwidth of others can such account consume?!
Anyway 45GB for 256kbps is still reasonable compared to Airtel's.
Look who has jumped into f**k u policy bandwagon after Airtel
Tata Indicom Broadband
Not only this they will suspend the accts if u exceed the limits :/ ::confused:

may be they are doing it step by step. first start implementing policy but keep limit high enough, so noone complains. and then oneday drop the bomb!
I was just about to post this...
Have a look at this:
It's definitely much better than Airtel but finally it's a Fair Usage Policy. I am damn sure that all the remaining ISPs in India will follow.![]()
They are treating customers paying higher as UNFAIR people.
Look at this
256k - 45GB limit
512k - 80GB limit
1Mb - 90GB limit
2Mb - 105GB limit
which means more speed u get = more u pay them = more u become UNFAIR for them because they limit ur surfing even more!!
TCISL Fair Usage Policy is "applicable to all existing and future unlimited plans", so that means folks on prepaid time-based plans with NU add-on are not affected. Supposedly.
I think a nice way to frame this issue and compare the various ISPs is to calculate the maximum data that can be downloaded on a given connection and then present the Fair Usage Limit as a percentage of that, e.g.
for 256 kbps; average case scenario :
256kbps *
0.9 (average due to TRAI latitude of 20% in speed) *
0.9(TCP overhead) *
3600(hour) *
24(day) *
30(month)
/ 8bits / 1024kB =
65610 MB.
So, 45000 MB represents a limit of 68.6%. Not ideal, but could be worse.
for 384kbps; limit is 71.1%
for 512kbps; limit is 60.9%
for 1024kbps; limit is 34.3%
for 2048kbps; limit is 20.0%
for 4096kbps; limit is 11.9%
sad lets hope bsnl won't implement this Fair Usage Policy crap
damn, hope bsnl dont catch up this shit now.
