Rep Power: 12 | All unlimited users of Airtel; Please check unbilled data regularly in your Self care page , frequently. If nothing is shown I doubt Airtel checks usage of U/L users. Para two: i am on free NU plan and my NU usage was shown. earlier. After contacting CC/Nodal they have reset the counter to show my usage only between 0800AM to 0900PM. ( i am an old user Combo 499 + TOPUp Rs 99/= , 2 Mbps speed 1 GB day limit Rs 200/= phone calls free !) |

Rep Power: 12 | Airtel billing method is like this. They log all usage time and data and amount Say it come to Rs 1300/= ( for BB) from the bill they deduct Rs 800/== ( 1 GB) and bill me 500/=plus taxes. ( NU not shown ) If they don't show the amount and if there is a cap for unlimited users ( say 10GB) same metering will be done. Also I find in the tariff plans ONLY the speed is reduced for U/L users. If no amount is shown in your SELF CARE page, today, send email to CC. Quote:

i mainly download western tv series episodes which do not air simultaneously on tv in india, and i have already got all the seasons of all my fav series (which was the bulk of my downloads). if in any case m gonna get anything big i'm sure it won't go beyond 8GB at max in a month nowadays. n regular browsing clearly won't run into multi gigs of data for me. even in the rare case that i do cross 15gigs in the month, i won't complain about the speed since i hav already suffered enough before with <100kbps connections (the fastest was 150kbps @840 bucks, the least, 64kbps @700bucks) to complain about the cheapest connection i've had till date, which is still giving me somewhat better speeds compared to my previous harrowing experiences with 'broadband' in india, even after crossing a 15gig limit. | |

Rep Power: 2 | Why dont they just make the plan upto 2mbps connection and then put this limit thing at the end its the same.... it attracts people to download more.. |
