Act is one of the costliest ISPs in India. Still they aren't satisfied.

Not even costlier but maintains double standards also.
They are showing 60 MBPS plan for Rs.706 on ACT APP while there isn't any 60 MBPS plans at all on their site when click on my Town Name and there are even cheaper plans starting from Rs.450 giving 50 MBPS speed and jumps to 70 MBPS plan for the next speed upgrade.
Also on ACT APP the FUP limit is shown as 1500 GB while on their site it shows for even basic plan FUP is unlimited to all plans.
What do you call this? Other than misleading consumers by maintaining double standards.

Did u get some special plan by any means?
For example, my neighbor is a policeman, and they are given special plans, which are not available to common people and not listed on the website.

No, They continued my ACT Hyderabad account in 2019 to Nellore which was used since 2008 til 2016 where it had this 60 MBPS plan for Rs.706 with FUP limit of 1500 GB.

ACT used to be called as Beam Broadband in Hyderabad.

But in 2016 I disconnected ACT and took Excitel for 2 years in Hyderabad and then disconnected Excitel because had to change to new location and there I took BSNL FTTH in 2019 til 2023. Now here in TN I am still using BSNL FTTH.

BSNL FTTH restricts Steam, Epic, Ubisoft Game & Xbox PC Launchers where these does not even open but show cannot open error. So I started using Google Public DNS or Cloudfare DNS.

Now I am able to download at 170 MBPS speed constant even though my plan speed is 150 MBPS only.
It's same for BSNL here in TN or TS. Need to change DNS otherwise no gaming at all.

When I was using ACT or Excitel all game launchers used to work great and I was able to download also but only at given plan speeds.

Anywhere which BB I used to use I turn on the VPN for downloading torrents otherwise torrent websites doesn't open at all but at the cost of slow speeds like I can download at 100 MBPS speeds only while the plan speeds allow 150 MBPS.

That means, I think they are waiting for you to move to a different plan. Atleast that's what it seems. Bcz u r getting better deal presently among all other plans.

Last time I used bsnl in hyd, all launchers worked fine for me.

Btw, what vpn is giving such massive speeds? Last time I used adguard vpn and it was shit for downloading, only good for browsing.

Pro tip when downloading torrents:

Use the VPN to add the torrent file to your torrent client of choice. Start the download. Once started, turn off the VPN. You will get full speed.
