FUP is applicable, but they don't cut the speed. they'll call to upgrade the plan though.

They have by far the worst customer support I have come across for any ISP. Actually they have the worst customer support I have ever come across. They will do anything they can to resolve and close you ticket within 48 hours. Please note, I did not say they will solve your problem. But they will definitely close your ticket.

> 4. Airtel: haven't used personally, as they don't provide service at my location.  I've heard that it hardly goes down. But the FUP is pathetic. they'll cut down the bandwidth to 128 kbps after FUP no matter what your plan is.

Along with BSNL, they have the most reliable connection I have come across. Their tech support people actually understand enough networking that I could have a conversation with them about my router config without feeling the urge to bang my head against the wall. I quite satisfied Airtel broadband.
