Proof that ACT is adding false GBs to usage (download cap)

[Anil]

Fast.com speedtest on high speed connection can easily consume 500MB. It does show the amount of data that was used during the test.

ya when speed goes high bandwidth usage goes high as well
due to devices playing video in HD ETC

360MB consumed on 50mbps speedtest. Used to cross 500MB when i was on 100mbps plan.

Yeah, it could be the case. Never had to worry about data consumption as never used a FUP plan before. I ran fast.com test once, speedtest.net test twice and DigitalOcean speed test (for non peered hosts) thrice.

what i noticed is when YOU configure your router on PPPOE mode ACT Fibernet selfcare page shows high usage if you Use your router in DHCP mode
and login using
selfcare.actcorp.in
it shows the correct data used
thanks

What's the difference? For now, I have my ACT plugged into desktop directly and using a dial-up connection, while Excitel is in router serving wifi.
