Fair Usage Policy: Why Airtel Unlimited Data Plans Have 3 Different Prices

Airtel recently launched her unlimited data plan, but it left people asking a lot of questions due to incomplete informations about the plan by the telcos.

AIRTEL UNLIMITED DATA PACKAGES

• N10,000 Unlimited Packages / 30 days Validity.
• N15,000 Unlimited Packages / 30 days Validity.
• N20,000 Unlimited Packages / 30 days Validity.

As you can see, Airtel unlimited data plans comes with 3 different price tags, but all with the same 30-days validity. People asked why the expiring date for the N10,000 plan is same with the N15,000 and N20,000 plans. And a lot of Techpaddicts also enquired about what differenciated the 10k unlimited package from that of 15k and 20k.

Now, Techpaded has officially confirmed that the reason for the different price segregations of the Airtel 3G unlimited data plan is speed throttling & speed difference.

• Unlimited 10 : full 3G speed up to 40GB usage, then throttled
• Unlimited 15: full 3G speed up to 65GB usage, then throttled
• Unlimited 20: full 3G speed up to 100GB usage, then throttled


In simple words, speed/bandwidth throttling means limiting how fast you can access something on the internet. So if you opt-in for the package with higher price, you'll get faster connection and delayed throttling. Airtel further disclosed the throttle speed is 256 kbps till expiry. Full 3G speeds here mean you should expect speeds in the vicinity of 1-4 Mbps on good days and less then 1 Mbps on bad days.
