Thread: FUP in Airtel 1299 PLAN

Hi friends,

I have taken a Airtel 1299 plan which is 1299 plan and Speed is 2 MBPS.

The speed was coming correct till sunday.

Suddenly only my Upload speed reduced to 300 KBPS from earlier 800 KBPs,

Is there any FUP for Upload ?

I have gone through Airtel website it says FUP for download in my plan is 20 GB.

But still my download is coming 2 MBPS only upload reduced.

Please help.

Thanks

FUP is calculated by Upload+Download in ur case you get 20GB Fair usage and when FUP triggers your Upload and Download bandwidth will be capped to 256kbps till your next billing cycle so if you are getting 2mbps then your fup is not triggered because none of the isp blocks just Upload speed if they do then they will apply it on both streams i.e Ul&Dl do you get your usage details in your login portal? if you do then see your data transferred tab,and keep in mind adsl technology doesn't promise even upload rate 24X7.

Yes that's because of Fiber link connectivity which don't loss data and speed, i can guarantee you that once you used torrent on Reliance Fiber connection then you will just blown away by the insane upload speeds! my Ratio on private tracker is just going up like crazy!!

I have 3 reliance connections 1 Metro Ethernet and 1 Wimax & 1 net connect GSM which i use as backup

there are total 15 nodes in our area which are connected via 12 core Fiber they don't give fiber to home, nodes are powered by Fiber and from nodes i get connectivity via 4 pair cat 5 cable so copper usage is minimal as possible! and installation charge is just 500!

reliance Optic fiber Node!! each node cost 1,50,000!!

This is a big problem with the ISPs. They simply don't mention upload speeds on their website, they don't talk about it no matter whom you talk to and they don't support or commit on it either. This only goes to reflect a sad state of broadband in India.

Whenever you send send a picture or a video file to a friend or talk/video chat, you use UPLOAD bandwidth. In my case, I had Security Camera system installed at my house which I view remotely. In this case too, upload bandwidth is the only thing that comes into question.

The sad thing is that NONE of the ISPs mention anything about the upload speed on their various plans. The only provider that clearly mentions upload speed on their website is Tata Indicom which is a Wimax provider and not your regular DSL or cable internet provider. Take a look here h t t p://w w w .tataindicombroadband.in/tariffs.html enter your city or the nearest city and you will see what I am talking about.

I recently had this issue with Airtel. I was on a Unlimited999 plan. I was getting 512 kbps download and 384 upload. Airtel launched some new plans this June 2010 and one plan called Speed 599 had 1 mbps download speed. I assumed that these are new plans with better download speed and obviously upload speed can't be any worse and the contrary can improve. Well, I was wrong. Even though the download speed increased, the upload speed went from 384 kbps to 128 kbps which simply made viewing the cameras on internet virtually useless. It became painfully slow to send few full resolution pics or a small video.

After bunch of phone calls to Customer Service, most of them had no idea what I am talking about. Finally, I had to take a gamble and upgrade my plan to another Browser 799 plan in the hope that this will give some boost in upload speed. It has been changed only a few days ago and now I am getting better speed. I am not sure if I am back to 384 kbps upload or not but I am going to test it more and report back here.

Getting decent upload speed is just too difficult at the moment. We should talk about it more and email/call the ISPs more in the hope that someday they will listen and advertise their upload speeds also, so that a consumer can choose the plan that best suits their needs.

I am actually surprised that you are not aware of that, despite being an airtel BB subscriber.

You are correct my friend.

Even I had earlier Airtel 256 KBPS unlimited plan in that I used to get 300+ upload and same download.

But I am amazed in 2 MBPS I am getting 300 KBPS upload speed. Initially few days my upload speed was 800 + but now its only 300 to 400 KBPS.

I am confused actually I have hooked a video device which uploads video contents through Internet to my house in US, may be I crossed the Upload FUP limit of 20 GB thats why my speed is reduced to 256 KBPS.

I also spoke to Customer care they say we never gurantee UPLOAD speed only we can Gurantee download speed.

if I crossed my Upload speed Quota we should get some information that you have consumed your Quota.

Dont know why without info suddenly my Upload speed is reduced.

I saw my Download usage details it shows I have only used 1 GB download Quota still I have 19 GB spare in my account.

Apart from Reliance none of the isp's in Inda give Upload same as download so if anyone wants jaw dropping uploads then look no further than Reliance.

When you say they checked the speed at their website, what website are you talking about? Can you provide a website address where they checked your speed?

I looked up the Reliance plans. The Reliance website is not user friendly and it is not easy to find in which areas they are available. They also don't mention upload speeds anywhere on their website.

Rcom, are you a Reliance user. If yes, how much speed are you getting?
