BSNL is already throttling torrent speeds, atleast for the older subscribers with 59.xx.xx.xx IP. Maybe they have also invested on this dreaded sandvine hardware. I pray they do not implement this half speed rule too.

The restrictions are as follows
128 kbps = download limit 10 gb
256 kbps = 15 gb
384 kbps = 20 gb
512 kbps = 25 gb

I think that's not gonna happen for sometime, I don't think they profit much from it. Even if it's gonna happen, they might wait till they see Airtel's approach to the whole thing and then decide
