Now that I'm back to Bangalore, I was looking for a good broadband provider. After asking people around, I found that:
Since I live in a PG in Nagawara, they were not allowing me to use the existing ACT connection (with disastrous speeds per device) present in the PG. So the installation guys had to draw a wire from a nearby apartment.
And since I paid for only 1 month, I had to pay installation charges extra: Rs. 650 and they did not offer me a router.
This is the ethernet wire I got eventually:
This is the speed I'm getting (plugged in with Ethernet):
The problem is, its Not the "100% of the plan speeds" they mentioned on their website:
Nevertheless, I'm enjoying gaming on this connection, rather than relying on my PG WiFi which drops without notice.
I'm also able to do my work properly on the 3 WFH days in a week.
Rating: 9/10. Really impressed, just that they should not make claims on website which they can't provide..
- ACT has superior internet speeds and most uptime compared to Hathway.
- Airtel is still copper wire in my area, so decided not to go for it.
- Tata Play fiber in my area is way expensive compared to ACT
- JioFiber has bad gaming pings. A big red flag for me.
