In a recent update to GrameenPhone's official website, the company has stated that it has added Fair Usage Policy to company's P2 (unlimited data plan) internet subscribers. Under this policy, users will be monitored of how much data they are downloading. The company statement said that heavy downloading such as peer-to-peer (torrent), which is mostly used to download cracked software and high resolution movies, hampers other user experiences and as a result slows down the internet speed of the entire area. Therefore, the fair usage policy has been applied under which subscribers are disallowed to download large files from torrents or other sources.
The Fair Usage Policy also states that if a user exceeds 5 GB of data transfer on any given month, his download speed will be reduced until the expiration date. However, normal data transfer speed will be restored on upon the following renewal date.
This simply means although GrameenPhone states that its P2 package is unlimited, subscribers are indirectly forced not to download more than 5GB per month.
