Why Airtel and other ISP in India implement Fair Usage
Policy on their broadband plans?
I think this question is present in the mind of every broadband users that why ISP put restriction on the data transfer in almost every plan they offer. There is always a large pool of bandwidth available to these ISP at any time but in case they offer true unlimited plans than this will abused by many users through out India.
The main reasons for implementing a fair usage policy are listed below:-
Piracy in India through torrents:
Believe me or not, India is one of the largest piracy hub of the world. Though there are laws to stop and curb piracy but they are not effective enough to stop this menace. People in India usually abuse their broadband service to download large amount of data which include movies, games and music. Not only this, Indians also feel proud to say that they have downloaded this 100 GB of data in this month.
As a example i will refer to this site broadbandforum<.>in (remove ankle brackets). In this site you will see a lot of people sharing how many GB’s of data they have downloaded in a particular month.
So it is clearly a network abuse. You congesting a network and hamper the service of other users by taking large chunks of bandwidth for yourself. Not only this, there are many people out there who keep their computer ON for 24 x 7 and download heavy HD stuff and at the end of the month they are proud to say that they have downloaded large amount of HD stuff.
This practice of downloading heavy piracy data hamper the service of other users to a much greater extent. Many users use broadband service to watch YouTube videos, browse websites or to play multiplayer games. But their experience gets ruined by these downloaders and pirates.
I use my broadband connection mainly to play online games bu not even a single time my ping reaches two digit. This is so pathetic but i can’t do any thing . Due to network wide abuse, ping to even local servers reaches sky high.
So all those people on various forums who are asking and abusing ISP for not providing true unlimited plans should blame themselves for this situation.
u are stupid mister !!
so you think yourself to be pro!
your name suggest that you are one hell of a dumb bag from India downloading torrents load of shit into your cheap terabytes
fkin newbie!!
And your name suggests your “cheap” sense of reasoning could do better with a dose of “how not be a douche on internet”.
@Spambuster:disqus – i would like to point here that India is not the country where piracy thrives. If torrents are gonna die of some country that would be India as the broad band users here are provided with very low upload rate.. so no upload no torrents!From the post i noticed its has been referenced, downloading a large amount of data as “network abuse”, its is not wrong of a person to fully utilize the amount of money he paid for the pathetic internet connection he paid. i think that ISP should upgrade themselves and try to provide some quality internet for all the huge amount of money they make. And if someone thinks is unethical for people to download data on their connection, its plain ignorance and simply they haven’t been exposed to much of outside world and advancements of it..
LOL this article was funny! and the icing on the cake was an airtel ad right on top of it! And Spambuster seems to know everything abt indians by reading their names. A pleasant reminder that he is very much a shitload of an Indian too!

Who ever wrote this article clearly has not surfed the internet.He is a slave who has only crawled the internet. On one of the website i read that a man on Verizon’s fios optic fiber network consumed 77.5 TERRABYTES of data in one month. we pay highest broadband fee on earth comparing with countries like china, south korea, japan, USA, Europe. its time we truly surfed the net not crawled.
