I was on a 50 Mbps plan till 90GB, and 512 Kbps after that (for Rs. 1099 before tax), and now they've added an extra 50GB, taking the total to 140GB. I rarely go through 70GB in a month, so it doesn't make much use to me..[DOUBLEPOST=1488382895][/DOUBLEPOST]I'm from Chennai by the way!
Does ACT give plans separate from website like Hathway? They've changed their Delhi plans but they're not competitive to others. I guess people who don't know about Hathway real plans or have poor reliability from other ISP might try.
Don't like these sort of plans, most people willing to spend 1k+ on internet would like higher FUP and most of the data is peered too. Other people probably won't need the speed mostly too. I guess it was Ok 5 years ago when HD wasn't the norm and most big downloads were occasional torrents.

Looks like Bangalore plans got updated as well. But as usual we get shafted - FUP are half of HYD and post FUP speed is still 512kbps.
Jio 4G plans are better than these.
I don't know what the F*** is wrong with ACT in Bangalore.
Even Jio offers a GB for ₹7 that too on wireless and these people charge ₹13/GB on wired?
In Hyderabad low end plan per GB cost is just ₹5 and ₹13 in BLR .. 170% more per GB!
256kbps is not even broadband according to law of the land in India.
Bangaloreans kick out ACT FOR NEXT 1YEAR & teach them a lesson.

They're actually better than Chennai's plans! [emoji4]
No upgrade for Chennai i guess in 2017. Its been loss for them all year & in 2015 due to natural calamities.

I don't know why there is so much hue and cry over ACT Banglaore plans, the recent upgrade provided by ACT Bangalore is EXCELLENT, one of my friends called yesterday and he was very happy as his ACT BLAZE 1049 plan was upgraded from 50 Mbps/60GB to 60Mbps/100GB. Yes, there is a difference between plans throughout the country but it is not a new phenomena.

You mean Excitel 20mbps internet + 30 mbps peering + 100mbps LAN = 150mbps plan ???
I was using Tripleplay in Gurgaon which was far far better than Excitel's deceiving plan.
50mbps unlimited for 1500 INR Inclusive of tax.Note: ACT Broadband upgraded my plan FUP from 300GB to 400GB.....I'm one happy customer for now.

Because post FUP speeds are not fair.. Atleast 2mbps post FUP would have been good.. At 512kbps, even gmail's rich version doesn't load..
The recent upgrade was perhaps the best upgrade that happened till date.. I remember starting with ACT @ Rs1049 for 15mbps 30GB.. which is now 60Mbps 100GB
This is some Newbie in Chennai offering 700GB per month for the same price where ACT is giving 350GB. Not demanding i want more and more from ACT as long my connection is running 24x7 but see even look at the Terabytes FUP's limits even from Hathway FTTH.
Looks like wholesale broadband prices have hit rock bottom. Once the real fun will start from JIO will start selling bandwidth to ISP's.

Yes the website shows ridiculous amount of plans with different price.
If you call their Customer care, they only give quote for unlimited plans at 5,10,20,50 & 100 Mbps. I was using 50mbps plan for around 1500/-(all included) and their TOP plan is 100mbps Unlimited @ 2250/-.
