One of th most improved ISP. But not reliable like Airtel ... expect short periods of downtime.
Sent you a PM.
This is one of the main doubts running at the back of my mind: the downtimes and the service.
I have a BSNL connection going on now. Which ISP do you suggest as a backup connection for ACT?
I'm also worried about the service. Suppose I have a downtime; how fast does it take them to rectify it?
I use Airtel and ACT. I use Airtel for office related work and ACT for downloads. I'm experiencing downtime of 10-30 mins everyday. Mostly during peak hours. Pretty stable during the nights.
To be Honest, There will be No Downtimes from the POP. You will be loosing Internet when there are fiber cuts as it is Aerial wiring.
I am not Sure if your area falls under the LCO-ACT rivalry, where they cut the wires ( However i'm not hearing this these days).
- Take feedback from Neighbors who use ACT and Subscribe.
- You're Getting the Fastest Internet For Cheap than Airtel, So i think you should get an Backup like 3G with 1Gb plan.
There are no subscribers in my area. I think I would be one of the first as they are just introducing it in my area.
That's what I rely on when my BSNL connection goes down; sometimes for days. The 1 GB limit is easily surpassed when the downtime is significantly long. If the downtimes are just for a few hours and get fixed soon, then I am ready to commit.
The 1 year subscription looks very tempting; that's the reason why I'm asking for their reliability. Apart from getting a bump of 25 GB on FUP, I will also get 2 months of subscription for free; not to mention the installation charges are waived off. If I choose the 15 Mbps 50 GB FUP plan, then I would instead be getting 75 GB FUP and just have to pay a total fee which comes to ₹1,058 per month including taxes. Otherwise, it is ₹1,235 including taxes every month, plus installation charges, plus only 50GB FUP.
I am using it from feb 2012,I faced first fiber cut last week,It was night time and i dint notice fiber was cut i thought is normal downtime which i face rarely like 4-5 time since subscription.next day by noon they fixed up the issue
^^ Dude, go with ACT. Apart from their somewhat ripping-off tariffs, they are good. And no downtime on monthly basis. Till now, i get only one downtime and that too because of heavy thunder/lightning. (I explained to you in TDF, isn't it?)
I am using in BTM second stage, they are good for the price we pay, except when there is a problem. they say 15mbps, but mostly we get only 5 or 6mbps.
I got an ACT connection few days back. Switched from Airtel 8 mbps line to ACT 15mbps. Have been using the trusty airtel since last 5 yrs but did the jump to same up on some monthly expense. So far I have been completely satisfied with it. Though I chose the 15mbps plan I easily get around 19-23 mbps. Ping of about 25-35 ms as seen on speedtest.net for a chennai server. Which is quite good in my opinion. LOCATION : Koramangala -5th block, bangalore
