One of the new entrant in 2008, Uninor which showing best results among the newcomers, is started to follow the tariff hiking trend differently.
Earlier we informed that Uninor increased price of on-net STV. Now Uninor has started rationing the GPRS usage to its subscribers who opt Internet packs.
Now Uninor users can spend maximum of 200 MB per day on internet, post 200 MB GPRS charge will be 10p/10KB. Unused data for a day will not be carried forward to next day.The worst part is Uninor does not care to inform to the subscribers regarding this revision of restricting usage every day.
Rs 14 – 600 MB as 200 MB/day – 3 days
Rs 24 – 1400 MB as 200 MB/day – 7 days
Rs 90 – 6000 MB as 200 MB/day – 30 days
Not only that Uninor subscribers also report that Uninor allegedly capping the speed at 40kbps on EDGE network which can support upto 238kbps speed. Even I personally suffered due to this speed cap, later after some email conversation with Uninor customer care helps to remove the speed cap.
Speed capping is not new, most 3G operators cap the speed from 1Mbps to 8Mbps to prevent overload to the network. Tata Docomo caps their 2G/EDGE customers at 128kbps for some time.

Sumit September 3, 2012 at 3:36 pm

I have activate Rs.90.00 plan and can’t use single day after activation i.e. 27 Dec 2011. I had try to get a solution by calling 198 but UNINOR can’t serve a proper solution of it. When I try to connect to internet a message shows “Packet Date authentication failed”. Every time I want to solve the issue by calling 198 but getting frustrated and being hopeless UNINOR CUSTOMER CARE now refused to solve my issue and can’t make call to 198.

fu*king Uninor with fu*king 200 MB/day limitation
sambhit September 5, 2011 at 2:13 pm
The ugliest decision about gprs has been taken by Uninor is 200MB rationing. If i bye a gprs pack i should use it whenevr i need but it doesnt mean if i dont use it will deduct data day by day automatically. It seems that they are scared to compete with other leading Telecom. shit
Abhishek Agrawal August 14, 2011 at 10:41 am
yes airtel reduced Rs.98 pack to 1GB since past 2 days!
TD August 14, 2011 at 12:02 am

Santu Sovan Mandal August 13, 2011 at 8:20 pm
By the way vodafone kolkata has finally launched a system by which i can know my data usage. From past few days I’m getting message from 84848484 stating my data usage.
Sayantan Nandi August 13, 2011 at 6:31 pm
@Subhendu Mukherjee
lol…same experience with airtel 2g….a 5mb app took 1-2mins to download until last week…now it takes 10mins….
Sayantan Nandi August 13, 2011 at 6:29 pm
@Vikas
i use 98 pack in kolkata…..didnt get any sms of this sort…
Sayantan Nandi August 13, 2011 at 6:27 pm
airtel 3g in kolkata is giving me terrible speed for past few days…..hardly 32kbps(or 4kB/s)……but upload seems to be perfectly ok(160 kbps or 20kB/s)…i wonder what are they trying to do here…..even my dad’s 2g connection speed is abysmally low
Raghu August 13, 2011 at 5:49 pm
@Janardhanan
if DOCOMO does capping for their usages there is no need to get shocked becoz DOCOMO is really showing the true colours by rationalizing each and every pack reducing validity etc. I think BSNL is the best.
DEB August 13, 2011 at 5:15 pm

DEB August 13, 2011 at 5:14 pm
good one…very much useful…and also they have good coverage, atleast better than tata docomo….
Lovegin August 13, 2011 at 5:08 pm
now a days each customer have atleast 3 min sim cards.they will select each operator acccording to the changes in the operators tariffs.one operator changes the tariffs obiviously customer shift their calls to operator who have less tariff.so operator who increses the price they will automatically loos their revenue.
ravikiran August 13, 2011 at 4:09 pm
uninor sala, proper network coverage ka aukad nahi and want to follow all the tactics of incumbents – airtel, idea, voda! abe uninor foolish chu*#&#* if you follow everything like them, why the f*#& would customers stick with you. won’t they chose them instead of you, because they have bettwr network!
Vikas August 13, 2011 at 3:04 pm
These operators has started to show their colors now. I just got a message from Airtel
“Mobile internet pack charges are being revised w.e.f 13-Aug-2011. You will get 1GB of data for 30 days at Rs 98. This will be effective your next recharge.”
So i think some wierd political things happening behind such moves.
atanu August 13, 2011 at 2:49 pm

@P.S.
i’m currently getting 110-125kbps with bsnl 2g. U can lodge a complain by following this site vas.bsnl.co.in
Janardhanan August 13, 2011 at 1:46 pm
IDEA cellular is the father of this shit idea of ‘capping’.
in idea everything is capped…
data…calls….smses…
and nw uninor too…
i think only bsnl and docomo are d ones who dont cap….
Amit.G August 13, 2011 at 1:26 pm
@P.S.
Currently im gettin 32-34KB/SEC(256 to 280kbps) in my E52 with idea connection. But data is capped for 200MB/DAY.
If i use my phone in 3G mode and use internet wit same 2G pack i get upto 2.5mbps. But im not using it since it is nothin but cheatin the company which has paid such a huge amount for 3G and against my ethics.
P.S. August 13, 2011 at 1:00 pm
What edge speeds you guys get? I get only 10- 20kb/s in bsnl few months ago it was 30kb. Should I contact customer care? will they increase my speed?
Subhendu Mukherjee August 13, 2011 at 12:44 pm
You are right. Voda in Kolkata capped its 2g speed after launching 3g. Now with 2g EDGE it is taking google at least 45 seconds to load when about 20 days back it loaded in 2 seconds. Even I watched you tube videos comfortably with Voda’s 2g EDGE. Now it seems Voda will force everyone to subscribe to 3g with packs starting Rs 103.00 for 100 mb 30 days validity. Well done Voda !!
Vivek Mishra August 13, 2011 at 12:39 pm
Dear Sanjay,
Where’s the tweet, fb share, our even the + 1 button. How do we share our power this info on, plus it also serve as advertising for the site. Its simple if u know. Btw, we should send a msg to such autocratic and fraud companies by using MNP to port our numbers, it strikes at the heart. As I learned from tata docomo, they are just a bunch of liars & frauds.
Amit.G August 13, 2011 at 12:37 pm
Cappin of data is acceptable since it will help operator to offer High quality services to every user but wat the point in cappin speed and data?? If airtel aircel are capping ter speed then it is to indirectly force a customer to switch to 3G services. But uninor dont even have 3G and users are still less in number. dont understand wat is the point in that. Idea has capped data but its speed is very good.
Rohan Singh August 13, 2011 at 12:22 pm
EDGE speeds are already poor and now capping it ….what they think we will move to 3G. Docomo speeds has already reached into bytes . Now we want look operator bill to stop this cheating …
Sayan Chattopadhyay August 13, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Uninor is the worst operator I’ve ever seen. I’m with them from the first day when they launched their service in West Bengal. From March,2011 I’m facing terrible network congestion. But they don’t want to solve my problem. I’ve sent at least 20-25 emails to their customer care, nodal officer and appellate authority. But nobody did anything. Everytime after lodging a complain they have called me and informed me that my problem has been resolved. What a joke!
And in my area Uninor GPRS speed in Internet Download Manager is within 850-875byte/sec.
For gprs now I’m using BSNL, 120-125kb/sec.
This Uninor should go to hell.

recently i saw that Aircel also following d same trend.If u guys purchase a Pocket Internet card (nu print) , u wil find that it’s writtn dat POST USAGE OF 200MB PER DAY speed wl b capped to 64kbps.
Santu Sovan Mandal August 13, 2011 at 11:28 am
But I’m surprised with this sort of move by uninor. It was an opportunity for them to grab few new customers. This is a kind of idiotic business strategy by them because people in india are cost sensitive. They were completely failed in taking advantage of mnp when it was introduced. Now, this weird decision will land them nowhere in near future.
Santu Sovan Mandal August 13, 2011 at 11:20 am
Nice find RDB. Every operator is trying to cap their 2g speeds. Don’t know why. Even my vodafone 2g is suffering from low edge speeds from last two weeks. After complaining several times, today I have seen that it has improved a bit.
