I'm getting ACT broadband installed this week at my place, and wanted to know if I needed a new wifi router for the same. I currently have a Teracom wifi+adsl2 modem/router (T2B-Gawv1.4u10...), which seems to do its job pretty well. I was wondering if I could use the same as a router for my ACT connection. The FTTH box is going to be setup in the building and an RJ45 comes into my house (right?). Could I know what routers you guys are using?
Act Tv Bangalore: 10 Mbps Unlimited for Rs 1299

i think if you have a modem+router then you dont need to worry about the compatibility since the same can be used for ACT as well.

Me too enjoying the heaven like speed considering we live in India.
But take a loot at this http://www.productsa...o?topicId=29017 .
British Telecom offers 76Mbps/19Mbps connection for ~2100 INR per month. How much the Indian ISPs are milking the customer and still say they are not making much profit.

I'm in heaven with this connection !!
One my friends wants to shift to my area just because of this connection!
#[member='sabby'] the market is not yet matured as Uk nor india has fiber network like them. Indeed some isp's are trying to offer high bandwidth plans at affordable prices like beam,act,5net,bbnl. While companies like Craptel still feel Some 30gb is enough for users and still if you want to use do it @256kbps. Indeed they are digging their own graves. RIP craptel. It's time you leave the market or die
You must be seriously kidding. The bandwidth have got cheaper long back. And mind you ACT Is not a cable waalah. They run Beam fiber. If you are not enough knowledged gather back some info and join us.
You seem to be loyal fan of airtel. Even they can provide 2mbps unlimited even for a price of 1200. They wont do it simple. Milk the customer, run business with high profits invest in other countries.

Guys. How many of you from Indiranagar (or close-by) area? The engineer will come over tomorrow and fix the connection. So please answer the following questions for me?
1. When did you get it?
2. What plan have you gone for @ what tariff? (5mbps or 10mbps)
3. Any major problem? (If yes, then what was it and how long it took for these guys to fix it?)
4. Any hidden cost?
5. I do a lot of work over Skype. Any connection drops?
6. Where is the closest billing centre? (Do they have a cheque pick up facility?)
Cheers,
D

Thanks eggman. I was a little vary about it because on the other forum (broadbandforum) there is a thread about fibre cut and all happening by competitors, bbmp and bescom in Indiranagar. Suffered from this?
Also, what is the net amount you paid for installation and monthly bill (including taxes)?

Don't Believe BS from that forum. All Fake Reviews are out there. It's True that Indiranagar Area Suffered Fiber cut and They took 3Days to Restore the connection. Now its fine and it seems they have got a dual backup system one goes the other kicks in. Eggman you should be telling us whether he has suffered from fiber cut in past days?

Installation was 500 and monthly I pay Rs. 1299 . If you pay for three months in advance, then installation becomes free. But I didn't go for it because the reviews were bad and the plans were too good to be true.
I had got a 10% corporate discount, so the tax is knocked off. Without it I guess you will have to pay 10% more.
You basically have to give a proof that you are working somewhere.
About fiber cut, on the 2nd downtime the Service guys came around 6pm and checked for an hour here and there and they did say that there is a fiber cut in some adjacent building. They said that your net will be restored that day or next morning. And it was restored withing 2 hours.
That was sometime in April and there has been no downtime since.
I don't know if it was a fiber cut be some competitors or not, but the net was restored after 3 hours of my complaint. I was very impressed.
And since there has been no downtime since, I would like to believe it was a genuine cut rather than some mischievous activity.
And yeah, the net stays on even if the power goes in your area. Awesome

Thanks dude! Going for it. Hope the happy gaming days are back again. *touchwood*
BTW. Is there a dc++ or any other alternative wit ACT.
How are pings for gaming with this connection? I have Airtel and luckily I'm still on a pre FUP plan, but my cousin who took a connection after me is on a 15 GB FUP and is fed up, so he was thinking of going for this.
I applied on their website about a month back, got an email saying we will contact you shortly, didnt hear from them. Was a bit lazy and busy with other things so didnt try calling them myself. Guess i should try that, but i expect a company to be more proactive in the first place. And their corporate office is like a kilometre from my house!
