Nopes, you are wrong. The table clearly says Usage

Unmetered, Unlimited, Flat rate. The terminology is clearly there. I get
your point and I'm not opposing it. TRAI or whoever is incharge must
make sure the *correct* terminology is used while describing the plans.
There is a *** marked against it and the cap is
mentioned, but it still
amounts to false advertising and MRTP or TRAI can pull up the company on
this matter.
It has been declared earlier by MRTP in cases that you can not have a
misleading headline and expect people to read the fine print, specially
in case of passing advts - eg hoarding, etc. A good lawyer will get the
judge to tear the company.
Lets do it then! :) Why hasn't anybody taken up Reliance to task for this?
Its a business decision of each company what they will

rules also have
similar clauses, I think its under ISP-II status (meant for

it. In fact, I also remember there is a case being investigated on the

landing station rights by Tatas.
I think it was VSNL which was bought up by TATAs

Well, all my clients got their leased line trariffs
cut massively after
that and it has not gone up since. A local leased line (short distance)
from Kanjur to Lower Parel now cost us less than 5K per month for a
2mbps connection. It used to be more than 25K per month. 64K used to
cost 10K per month.
Yeah so? What did it mean for *us* retail consumers? It meant
lower
costs. We never got any! :(
