I have airtel connection of 1mbps with 15gb limit, from last one year.Usually i hit the limit on 20th - 25th day.From last two months I was getting hit the 15gb withing first weeks and it was shocking. So I download a tracking s/w and wanted to see what is going on !!Now i noticed that they are counting Download + Upload as the limit of data transferred , as opposed to Download , as it was earlier. Anyone facing this problem ?Coincidentally I also re allocated to a new place and this has been happening after the reallocation !!Can there be any connection ??It's a wired connection, so I doubt about data stealing !I'm from bangalore Btw !I am getting this thing disconnected as soon as I get Act Broadband!! THis motherf**kers !! 😡 😡 😡 😡 😡
 
LOL airtel always counted upload and downloads
 
every one counts upload + download , THis has been case since the the starting of FUP, I would advice, to get another connection, preferably one without FUP. you may sacrifice speed, but you will get the data UP & down.
 
actually mtnl does not or at least did not. beam is also reportedly does not count uploads.
 
Well you have to understand,m MTNL & beam are city wide restricted, they are not national ISP's, I can rave all about S-Tels 3g, but nobody will know out of Bihar, Asam, Meghalaya etc. & use it.
 
airtel is also not a nationwide ISP. it has presence in a very limited region.
 

I don't mind if they count both upload and download unless some one can give me a reason why they shouldn't.What I'd like is day-time data quota and night-time data quota which many ISPs around the world do.
 
airtel is also not a nationwide ISP. it has presence in a very limited region.

but I think that airtel has presence in about 80%?
Does that mean that BSNL is the only nation wide operator?
 
^ 80% is too much. They have presence in more like 40 - 50%. They get noticed because they have got the major cities covered.
 
I can also confirm that they have silently started to include uploads in fup.
 
I don't know why you guys think that they have just started to count upload. They've always done that.
 
heh. i wonder the same. i have no idea why people think that airtel did not count uploads.
 
They never used to count uploads for me.Ever since the smartbytes page came it has started for me but it was this month that i was fuped before i completed by 30 gb download limit.
even airtel site only states about download fup
airtel Broadband Internet: FAQ for FUP

how will i know when i have cross my download limits?

We will send you an email/sms when you reach 80% of your plan’s data transfer limit and again when you reach 100%. A majority of the users do not exceed the download limits as set in their plans and should not expect to receive such alerts as a norm.
