Airtel has recently implemented Fair Usage Policy (FUP). The policy is focused on advanced Internet users. People who operate on the cloud. Prefer to use the internet to communicate share and other activities. The policy is a con job. If the same principle of FUP is applied to any other service you would be infuriated.
Suppose you rent a car from a place that says "unlimited kilometers - one fixed rate"
So u rent the car... drive it around a lot couple of days and the car rental company comes to u after 2 days and says, hey wait we said unlimited kilometers but now for the next 28 days u got to push the car everywhere not drive it...
Does that sound like you being ripped off???
Everybody knows there is nothing like unlimited - We have limitations of time on everything.
So i would assume when Airtel offer unlimited plan they do calculate... Hmm worst case scenario this user will use internet for 30 day 24hrs a day... is it feasable???
A generous limit would be 30daysx24 hrs (always on)... It would acceptable to have 30 days x18hrs or even 30 days x 12 hrs...
The current limit is more like 30 days x 50 minutes or 30days x 1 hr.
Your comments thoughts, analogies and criticism welcome...
Try to be polite and honest please...
