ACT broadband in Chennai

[uberjon]

UPDATE
I've been using this connection for the past 3 days & I've not noticed any downtime so far. Just tried downloading XP SP3 to check the download speed.
Using Firefox, I was getting ~18mbit/sec.
Using 'DownloadThemAll', I was getting ~27mbit/sec.

The plans are on the ACT website. There are no unlisted plans.

anyone experienced the ACT service in Chennai? How is the speed and downtime?

Interesting. But this is not covering my area yet.
And I'd like something between 75GB and 250GB.
I wouldn't mind to take the 250GB plan but Rs. 3249 is a touch expensive, They could reduce the speed from 50MBPS and the price along with that.

I've posted my experiences elsewhere in this thread.
Recap: No downtime so far & getting 25mbps as promised.
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I cross my FUP.
25mbps to 512kbps :Shoot:
I might have to get a 30GB plan from Airtel (as a backup line) to keep me sane.

Nice, which are you in. Any idea if they have a coverage map available. I am near the guindy area
Edit: Saw the OP just now. guess I'll have to wait for coverage to come to Guindy

7 days into the new cycle and I've already used up 25GB of my 75GB. Can't imagine browsing at 512kbps.

@ACTBroadband:
Are you planning to include Guindy/St. Thomas mount in the coverage area soon?
