300Mbps plan
Holy shit âš1300 for 300MBPS plan!
Why are you shocked? Isnât that the price of ACT 300Mbps plan? Atleast in my region, it is.
Most private ISPs are expensive. Airtelâs 300 plan is 1499+ taxes for my region.

No I am shocked at how good the prices are when compared with our shitty BSNL FTTH plans of TN? Even BSNL FTTH Hyderabad are same. Thats why I got shocked looking at the prices.

Then you should definitely not find out about ACT plans in Hyderabad like the 300Mbps plan that costs 1075+taxes.

At this price I am getting 150Mbps plan. Shit man.
Maybe I should bribe the BSNL technician to increase my speed to 300Mbps for 1k price or he will laugh at me for asking.
ACTâs giga plan is 2100++ for blr lol. I pay 3999++ for Airtel.
ACT Nellore Giga plan is âš1700 I think.

Has anyone noticed increased latency to Singapore & Japan from ACT Hyderabad
I used to get 50ms to singapore and 120ms to tokyo which has increased to 80 & 150ms
Iâve noticed that ACT Hyderabadâs overall latency has increased and speeds have dropped over the last 6-8 months

Having used ACT Gigabit plan for many years, Iâve realized that youâll never utilize the bandwidth anywhere other than occasional steam games download etc. A typical home user/WFH/Torrenting etc would need 300-500 Mbps Maximum and anything more youâll feel ZERO difference/benefit beyond that.
IMO Gigabit plan is a SCAM !!

Itâs like saying entire washing machines are a scam bcz you only have 1 pair of clothes. I agree with some of what u said. But such plans are good for the right person who has relevant and appropriate use for such a bandwidth. For regular crowd itâs overkill.
Itâs great that we have variety of plans in different speeds. The real scam is getting only 70â90% speed of any plan, and the companyâs argument is âuptoâ in their description.

No its like your washing machine can only clean 1 pair of clothes while advertising 10 at the same time.
1 Giga speed you will never achieve and the right person/use case do not exist. The only time youâll ever accomplish 1 Giga is when you ping ACT Fibernet on Speedtest. Your advertised speed ends with ACT network. Once the packet leaves the ACT Network, ACT Giga plan doesnt have any impact on the speed of your packet and you get the same speed/latency/routing as everyone else. Anyone who uses 300-500mbps will have the same speed/latency/routing as you on the internet.
Youâre paying for eyecandy number that has no real world impact on your experience !! Prove me wrong !!
Fair point, but thatâs more about how ISP companies advertise speeds, not the idea of gigabit itself. Itâs like saying flights are useless bcz your local airport always delays flights. The right user does exist. Maybe rare but theyâre out there. And of course, speedtest flexing by isp companies is dumb but letâs not mix up their bad delivery with the product itself being useless.
There are people right here on this forum using more than 3300GB a month and weâre not saying that kind of usage is impossible or unrealistic.
Itâs a good thing to have a variety of plans so people can choose what they need or what they want.
People who use more than 3 TB does so on any connection speed, it only takes you 10-15 game download from steam to reach 1TB. A couple of Bluray remux, youâre half way there in a day. Speed doesnât matter at all here.
Anyone with ACT or Airtel Giga plan here can put their benchmark on all possible use cases vs Mine vs any 300 mbps connection and i can promise at the end of it, the guy with Gigabit connection is in for a huge surprise/disappointment.
I had used 3 ISPs at one point and it benefited me more than a Giga plan from one ISP and cost way less (in Cities). A 300mbps connection is all youâll ever need to fully utilize the internet, anything more is cosmetic.
For typical users, yes. For minority having top tier pvt trackers or seedboxes/premium file hosting subscriptions they can utilize such speeds while downloading some big file.
That is universal standard for typical retail consumer connections. For âguaranteed speedsâ you need leased line.
Having often crossed this limit I can tell you from experience that crossing this limit is not possible without making efforts unless it is a large joint family with multiple smart TVs & half a dozen+ mobile devices with 4k ott subscriptions running most of the time.
Personally, speed matters to me when I want to watch something & as usual decide to get a BR remux having at least 25-30GB size for 1080p & around twice of that amt for 4k & would like to finish the download in less than 15 min else I might lose interest or get distracted by something else while waiting for it to finish downloading. At 1gbps speed, a 60gb download can be finished in around 10 minutes.

Even with top tier private tracker, youâll never achieve 1 gbps speed and have to wait the same amount as anyone on 300 mbps connection. Thts y i said, 1 gbps connection doesnt exist outside your ISP network and Iâd categorize anything more than 500 mbps plan a SCAM !!
My calculation based on my previous Gigabit internet usage is that, youâre averaging out at 300 mbps on the internet. You may achieve higher speed when you download say For ex: linux ISO/Software/Games hosted in CDN but other than that, no chance.
Iâm not challenging anyone here, just wanted to see if we can achieve the high speed as advertised or such use cases so please share some screenshots/video if you can.
