Airtel reduces broadband tariff, FUP limit

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Airtel has reduced tariffs for most of its broadband plans in India. Here is a quick glance at the new tariff (Click to expand):

The caveat here is the reduced FUP (Fair usage policy) quota. FUP quota is an absurd limit applied by ISPs. Once you use up your quota in a billing cycle (uploads + downloads both are counted), you will get half speeds for the rest of the billing period.

Our recommendation – If you are on one of the old plans, and are a heavy user, stay on that as the FUP quota was much more in the old plans. For example, the 1699/- per month 1 mbps unlimited plan , had a FUP quota of 100GB.

However, if you are a casual user, and don’t care about the FUP, go ahead and jump the boat.

But seeing it from other way consider steamer 1999 Plan. You will get 1 MBPS even after FUP. You are paying only 300 Rs more for 35GB download at 2MBPS.

  LOL. Heavy users easily transfer close to 100GB data in a month. That too even if they are a bit abstinent .
