What’s weird about these plans is the structure and pricing. For example the Rs 1,111 monthly plan allows users to download 250GB at 2Mbps speed, of which 33GB is free. After 33GB user has to pay Rs 18/GB until you reach 250GB FUP. If you exhaust even 250GB, you’ll be then  receive a speed of 1Mbps free of cost.

To do the maths, for the Rs 1,111 plan with 250GB limit, you are going to be paying [(250-33)*18] + 1111 = Rs 5,041  per month,  if you are someone who will consumer 250GB, which does not seem value for money. At lower speed these plans are not interesting, however, at high speed these plans start making sense. Additionally you only pay for what you use.
