Consistency is key here. ACT has disconnected at crucial times for me (online meets) and it's very annoying. A lot of ISPs in India struggle with that. I should also mention that sometimes, it varies from place to place.
You've put my point. Most of them are like "Hamare liye 2GB daily bas hain aur har ek ke phone pe 4G hai"Can't be South Korea or Romania because people are stupid with no common sense. There are still discussion taking place every now and then why people use broadband when Jio Bholte is there. I used to reply from time to time but morons don't deserve any replies.
ACT is literally Effd up right now. Poor customer support and occasional disconnections are a serious PITA and inconvenience for some people who are in to serious work.Consistency is key here.

Hey! What plan are you on and what is your usage?Finally consistency with Jio. Connections which don't break. After 20 years of suffering some respite.
Life is good.
Remembering the BSNL, railwire times, whenever internet download speed dips on other country servers they come and ping to their servers in speed test and say "what's the issue, you're getting full speed". Being in a small town with no other choice other than these two, had to keep up with it.I lucked out and got grandfathered in to Spectra's (up to) 1 gbps plan in Delhi, so I'm sitting pretty. I'm just waiting for the day they try and force me to switch to a new plan (they've eliminated all true unlimited plans).
I think the main problem currently is that apart from Airtel (who have pre-existing transit agreements) and Jio (who are throwing money like nobody's business because they don't have to pay back loans and got spectrum in a scam) most of the ISPs don't have solid transit agreements with global ISPs. Most people are using internet for streaming services, which bypass transit agreements because Netflix/Google/etc. have tie-ups with most ISPs and have their content boxes in ISP datacentres, so whatever speed you pay for you'll get a good experience as long as the quality of the line to you is not bad.
E.g. my so-called 1Gbps Spectra connection can barely hold a hundred megs of bandwidth to a US server, whereas I can get the same or better on an ACT 100Mbps connection.
