Airtel Fair Usage Unlimited Internet plans – 2G , Prepaid | FUP meaning

What is meant by Fair Usage Policy (FUP):

FUP (Fair Usage Policy) means speed will be reduced to very low up to 10 kbps once you consumed the specific data usage.. So , it indirectly indicates that you cannot browse with that speed. For example, if your plan says 1.25 GB FUP, then after you consumed 1.2 GB, the internet speed will be reduced drastically.



What is Speed throttling or Controllable Speed?

Throttling speed means that you cannot browse beyond a specific speed limit. Usually it will happen when you reach the usage limit set by the network for particular plans.

What is the speed of 2G, 3G after FUP?


After FUP, the speed of 2G, 3G will be reduced to 64 kbps , ie 8 KB per second. 

It is evident that practically there is no unlimited Internet plans in Airtel. This technique is followed by all Indian mobile networks.Beyond a specific limit, in the name of FUP , the speed will be reduced to very low which is very difficult to browse or download.
