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.
