It's not unlimited as already discussed in this (or another?) thread.

ACT encourages responsible use of unlimited data by each of its subscribers. ACT believes that even when a subscriber chooses to use the Unlimited plans extensively he or she may not be able to consume the maximum data limit of 3300 GB per month or above as per the tariff plan subscribed (hereinafter referred as "Maximum Data Limit"). Any such usage over and above said Maximum Data Limit will be treated as abuse of Unlimited Data plans by the said subscriber.

The FTTH cabling of ACT and others needs an introspection.

The cable from the exchange to one's home passes through many junction boxes. The junction boxes may need power and the power may be purchased through power boards and the junction boxes be placed on the public infrastructure. These boxes are likely to be sabotaged.

Alternative method is to place these junction boxes needing power supply at the customer premises. In this case, one gets connectivity after passing through many junction boxes placed inside private buildings and powered.

Most of the net consumers are tenants with average tenure of a year or two. Most of the owners do not permit boxes to be placed within their premisses, as the maintaance team gate crashes whenever a problem is reported downstream or a new co nection or disconnection. This is a security hazard too.

As a result, boxes are to be frequently shifted from house to another. Getting a net customer who gives permission for placing the box in the premisses is very difficult to get for the company. Shifting a box with 4 or 5 connections in the neighbouhood is very time consuming, resulting breakdown of services even upto a week.

All long breakdown of ACT services beyond a few hours can be attributed to these factors. Same is the case with other service providers whose system calls for power supply to the cable boxes.

PS: 1) I am not an employee of ACT or it's franchaise or it's competors.
2) l am not an ACT customer.
3) Still, I am a victim, being the third party.
 
FTTx is passive optical network , it doesn't need any type of electric power inside the distribution zone apart from the end point OLT or ONT.
Indeed there are many box included but all are equipped with passive splitters and couplers .

I guss you're talking talking about metro ethernet deployment. Where one need power once and than for to supply the reverse Poe ethernet switches.

P.S. :)1. we've deploy FTTx networks. 2. Worked on metro ethernet also 3. Worked on Fixed Wisp also
 
It is inevitable for ACT to have plans on par with the competition else they will lose the market.
I am continuing with ACT because the VPN of my company does not work on airtel. I have both connections now, will take out ACT once the issue is fixed from IT team
 
Looks like ACT has heard.

^ 1TB FUP! Thank you ACT Fibernet.

I know Jio is Effin you guys hard. May be you guys have to offer 3300GB for base plans in coming days. The present FUP is .. It's okay and sufficient for now.

PS: A Jio Fiber sales guy tried to hard sell me a connection just to reach his targets. After 5 mins of begging, I asked him to pay the upfront deposit amount and I'll return the deposit after I surrender the connection. He quietly left :ROFLMAO:
