Paaji(Singh) remember you told me about this company once, Hayai, when we were bitching about bad internet in India.
They have already set up shop and have supposedly started limited services to certain customers for testing. There is a chance the customer service will be even better than what Airtel provides or at least that's what the COO says. CS representative will not Bull Sh!t about problems.
The company is represented by mgcarley. He's got ~5500 posts under his belt and is available at India broadband forum.
The COO,

He uses the same name in India broadband forum. But it is obvious they could be a lot of people. He is on many other forums as well.

As for the Fvck You plan(FUP), it's there but there is no such hard and fast rule. The FUP limit is the price you are paying divided by 10. So for a minimum speed of 20Mbps which costs Rs.2000 the FUP limit is 200GB. You can exceed up to 550GB minimum per month, but they will give you a call to tell you not to hog the bandwidth. If it persists for 3 months, they will upgrade your plan. You can never go back to the smaller plan again. Your speed will not reduce when you cross FUP.
Speeds are 20, 40, 60, 80, 100 and 1000Mbps. The wireless is agnostic and is upto 54Mbps. No dongle required. Any Hayai hotspot will give you an average speed of 8-10Mbps as long as you have IEE standard wireless. 802.11g. So, no having to worry about crappy speeds from regular ISPs and their upto 3.2Mbps plans.
mgcarley is promising pings of 3 to 30ms. So, gamers can rejoice.
Currently available only in Mumbai. They will be moving to NCR and Pune soon followed by Bangalore and other metros. They use FTTH for those who are interested. So, review from any Mumbaikars will be good.
Downloaders have a reason to rejoice too. Hayai servers will have private torrent trackers and an internal network. So, speeds within the Hayai network(called High Speed Zone, HZ) will give you the full 1Gbps download speed irrespective of what plan you have. Speeds outside of the network will depend on what plan you chose. I am betting this network is going to be big. Gamers can set up servers using the 1Gbps servers and there is currently no FUP plan for H Z.
Peer to peer connection is possible. For eg: If Paaji has a movie he wants to share with me, we can connect using the H Z server and get the movie transferred within seconds. No FUP applies here.
Finally, it is very much affordable. Limited plans, you pay only Rs 10/GB. So, non gamers and non Torrent downloaders can rejoice too. The speed is 1Gbps for all limited plans. At a minimum budget of Rs 1000, you can download 45GB at 1Gbps. At Rs 2000 you can have your 1Gbps connection and also a download cap of 145GB.
Cheers.
