Inform broadband users of data limit, speed: Trai to telcos

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Monday directed operators to inform customers about the data usage limits of their broadband plans and the extent to which speed of connection would be reduced in case users breach the 'fair usage' or data quota cap.Currently, under the 'fair usage policy', if a consumer subscribes to an unlimited broadband plan with, say, over two Mbps speed, and his usage breaches a certain quota, say two gigabytes, before the billing cycle is over, the provider can reduce the data speed for the remaining period.The move is aimed at improving transparency and helping customers keep a track of their consumption levels as companies will also have to notify users when their data usage hits 50, 90 and 100 per cent of the prescribed limit under their chosen plan. Trai also said that in case of fixed broadband services, operators will have to ensure that download speed for a user does not fall below 512 kbps (as stipulated under telecom department norms) unde
