I believe this thread belongs here. Many here would know that I have been a Spectranet user for some time now. The prime reason I had gone with them was because they had no FUP - that was in fact their USP, apart from the fact that their plans were pretty cheap (1 kbps unlimited without FUP for 599). That, until this September. That month, not only did they increase their rates - still competitive enough at 749 for 1000 kbps unlimited, BUT with a freaking FUP of 25 GB, and a post FUP speed of a damned 256kbps. The underdogs had joined hands with the biggies.
I persisted due to lack of a better alternatives till I saw small adverts of this company called Nextra. They claimed to be providing 100 Mbps. It got me interested and I checked their website out for plans. The first thing that hit me was the similarity they had in their approach to designing plans with that of Hayai - speed + usage. There were no unlimited plans but at least they gave the option of buying additional GBs for a moderately acceptable amount. Being fiber, I checked availability, and as luck would have it, my society was one of those which was 'enabled'. Contacted them, gave the 500 deposit (adjusted against first month bill) and took the 10Mbps plan with a 15 GB top up for a total of 30GB (this can be changed every month on demand). All at 1399 + taxes. I don't mind. Seriously. Symmetric speed is totally worth it. Once the usage limit is reached (in my case 30 GB), I can either buy more GBs, or get 'downgraded' for the rest of the month to 512kbps. Better than 256kbps, and like I said, fiber is totally worth it.
Since people are curious, screenshot below (notice the distance from location), and website link at the end.
I am curious though as to how they provide the IPs. I am currently shown to be in London and do have some problems accessing some India specific content on YouTube, however I can work those around so they aren't a show stopper for me.
