Airtel Fair Usage Policy :”SUCKS”!

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

There has been a flurry of activity in the blogosphere and a lot of people have bandied together to protest against the assinine policy of which seeks to limit our choice and control the access to . have totally lost out any imagination to spur the access and in this day and age of recession, see no merit in upgrading the existing infrastructure.

Hence, they have bandied together to implement their “fair usage policy”.

Surprisingly and happily, it has found a mention in the . Mint has taken up the cudgels on behalf of the existing customers and I truly laud their efforts.

There is no other way except to show a middle finger to the likes of (are they not always on the wrong end of the stick?), Airtel boffins (why are you screwing up a fantastic service) and Sify (the original buggers who have bastardised the in ). There are other smaller players who source their bandwidth (in effect work as re-sellers) and would be glad to limit the access accordingly.

Surprisingly, Internet and Mobile Association of India ( a bealagured body that is a rag tag association of the service providers) has spoken out against it’s members. It’s president (or whoever the self proclaimed titular head) has gone on record to say,

“If the service is provided under ‘’ to the customers when they signed in, it cannot be reduced to 128 (kbps) since the government of India definition of is minimum 256 (kbps). This is a violation of government policy as well as short-changing customers if they had signed in for a broadband service.”

Violation of government policy? Really? Which one dude?

For all practical purposes, I request the readers to sign up the petition to protest against the restrictive access. It can be found here.

We are already having a pathetic state of affairs. The frigging morons expect the users to broadband to check email alone. Thats the state of majority of the users.

Who has given them the right to limit our access? Beats me.

BSNL: Unlimited? Another illusion?

Tags: , , , ,

Well, so it seems to be. Another mail from the official and another promise.

He says, 10 days at the maximum.

You can follow this up on the Forums here.

By the way, I noticed some guys who are copying my posts and pasting them online without any reference or link to the original. Their collective intelligence is less than my sweet labrador; who pisses on the ’s junction boxes. While anonymity is nearly guranteed, I believe that it shows you guys in real poor light.

These are the bunch of pricks on India Broadband who have copied most of my posts without mentioning the source.

Bah! I have many demons to slay. BSNL is one of them. Well, my dear readers, should we emascualte this prick or stuff him up with his own pile of s***?

Sheesh. I can’t believe it. Poor sods. The reason,I have linked here is to avoid these from any kind of a traffic.

An update:
I was wondering if their asses be full of fleas, screwed up, f***ed up mangy dogs, with moth eaten brains and the icing on the cake…hold your breath. Their father in laws be working as BSNL clerks. The glorifed babus.

It can’t get worse than this.
