Is there a fair usage policy on Excitel Broadband?

They can make more by reselling. If an LCO gets a 300 mbps fibre connection for 555 a month on a long term plan and resells 50 Mbps plans to 6 households for 300 each, that's 1200 a month profit. I doubt Excitel pays 1200 a month commission on 6 connections

That would work if lco can redistribute something managed at excitels end. They would have to do it unofficially by distributing a single connection through lan or Wi-Fi. From my understanding excitel is paying 200 per connection to lco per month.
If it was a smaller amount, excitel lcos would be doing what other lcos are doing, charging extra from consumer over connection price.

I have seen LCOs (not Excitel) doing that. They don't do with every connection to evade suspicion. Say, an LCO has 100 connections. For the next 10 connections, he will only take 2 connections from Excitel and will distribute that to customers. He will subscribe for a 100 Mbps pack and will give 20 Mbps connections to 6-7 customers. Not everyone needs 20 Mbps constantly. Or a customer may do that; take a 100 Mbps connection and share it with 2-3 of his next-door neighbors (just an example). But that's a bad choice, if someone decides to do something illegal, the police will trace you out but you will be responsible, even if you have some connection logging system at your end.

Carrier Grade NAT makes it harder track criminals though:

Thanks a lot for doing the experiment and take one for the team. Excitel should definitely be upfront of daily usage , monthly usage and how they identify commercial usage. It's fasle advertising like that. A single household can exceed the limits and if they are selling it as unlimited for household then it should be like that. Anyway we can file a complain against them? And actually force them to either change this marketing or make it clear and define everything?

Yes, ISPs have tools. My ISP uses IPAcct or something for the whole traffic management, login logout, billing, etc. That same software tracks my every move online. But I think that's cost-prohibitive for most of us unless someone decides to do it on a large scale.Carrier Grade NAT makes it harder track criminals though:

That's the plan, not only do I want them to restore my connection but have them clearly state that they do have FUP. TRAI guidelines look very vague regarding this but maybe I can consult a lawyer if it comes to that.

ISPs and "unlimited" branding has been an issue for ages even in developed countries. 🙁 It's not gonna go away any time soon.

Other isps even though they have unlimited, they mention the hidden fup in their t&c. Take airtel for example. They market as unlimited but have clearly written 3.3tb fup in their t&c. Excitel is just false advertising
