Yeah but from MTNL's point of view doesnt make sense
~142 GB = Rs 749 only (rough estimates)
~ 62 GB = Rs 949 (rough)
Expecting rational behaviour from the irrational is in itself irrational. On the other hand, they might be more rational than we think. I don't know or care what MTNL is offering. But all providers are upto no good.
The ideal plan would be one that offered 256Kbps/ 512Kbps speeds for 16/18 hours a day and 2Mbps/ 4Mbps speeds for the other 6-8 hours. You would get an automatic boost at night time (non-peak) hours. And these would be unlimited use plans and could be offered for INR 999/ INR1799. There is only one reason such plans are not available. Such plans do not offer any option of 'overflow' revenue. Unlimited BB plan users will pay their plan price only and not one rupee more.
The plans with data transfer limits with happy hours at night are designed with only one thing in mind. People might start using the internet before start of happy hours and forget to reset the modem/ login a few minutes into happy hours. During happy hours they would download tonnes of data at 2 Mbps. But the provider can collect money for data transferred even in that period. However the same does not happen when the user continues using past 8AM. Neither happy hours nor the speed is maintained past 8AM. He is charged for the same (Correct me if I am wrong here). Then they can send hefty bills which most people will quietly pay up.
Intelligent and knowing customers will wait five minutes past 2AM, start downloads and end it just before 8AM. And then they can play around with their data transfer limit during the day. The rest will be surprised or confused but will continue using the service.
