Reliance Sends Weekly Data Usage Reports for Broadband Users

Reliance Netconnect Broadband Services is often claimed to be over charging their customers for higher data usage based bills, but its actually the customers mistake in most cases. Normally most of the Internet Users have a habit of using Slow Internet Connections which range of 256Kb to 512Kb and when they get higher speed connection, they use it for downloading Music & Movies forgetting the download limits they have under the Tariff Plans. Following this when they receive Data Card Bills, they point their fingers towards the company for over charged bills, which is the very reason Reliance has now started sending Weekly Data Usage Reports to their customers which shows the following information.

Following is the information which is sent to all the Netconnect Broadband Customers -
