Rep Power: 3  |  Fair use policy the fair use policy in most european countries according to my knowledge is that they request u 2 download larger stuff at night if u download during the day theyll give u a warning even if u continue downloading theyll give u a second warning if u continue after that theyll disconnect u but in india they have screwed up the entire thing according to reliance and tata FUP is a download limit of 10gb or something,according to airtel and bsnl its 50% reduction in speed its all money making business since the isps dont want to invest in infrastructure they introduce crappy stuff like FUP its high time the gov looks into this in us there were massive protests against net neutrality  |

Rep Power: 1 |  The unlimited download plan falls in very high price bracket making it hard to afford and to get normal speed too we have to suffer from limited downloads during the day  |

| Guardian Angel  | As far as I know, Reliance does not have FUP and neither does BSNL. But meetdilip is saying new BSNL plans have FUP. So I don't know. FUP (on Airtel and Tata) is applicable on unlimited plans of 384 kbps and above. It is not applicable on 256 kbps plans. The problem in India is that everybody is using internet to download illegal stuff. Heavy downloads of music and movies is causing a select few to hog the bandwidth. Operators do not make any money out of FUP. They are not charging you more if you exceed their "fair usage". While I am against FUP, I am very much against piracy also. So I can't fault either way.
