[Resolved]  ACT Fibernet — FUP scam

Address: Bangalore, Karnataka

Here is how I have been cheated by ACT. Worst service ever: I have a monthly FUP limit of 20 GB and on 26th Dec after I returned to Bangalore my usage on portal page was 23 GB. I was getting the post FUP speed of 256Kbps and it was really slow. I assumed that my family has used up more data this month. So I got an FUP reset done because I had some really important office work to do. I got a quota of 3.87 GB. Next thing that happened shocked me and made me realize that things were bad from ACT side. This renewed quota of 3.87 GB got over in 1 day, and I was back to 256Kbps. Again, I was unable to do my office work. I knew for sure that I had not used up that amount of data. I then requested for the data usage records, and found out that in the whole month I had used up only 12 GB!! (Less than my overall monthly FUP limit, and I had paid extra amount of Rs.147) This was too much and I immediately contacted customer service. I even wrote a strong email giving them screenshots showing the actual usage. After the call, I got a call from the customer care team that they are working on fixing the problem, and that they will be notifying me . I waited for 2 days all the while painfully managing some how my office work. On 31st I lost my cool and contacted CT customer service. 3 out of 7 calls were putdown/disconnected while asking me to hold the call.(This was agonizing) . In the remaining call only 2 were actually transferred to the technical desk, who can actually look into this problem. In the first call to the technical desk, I was given an apology, and told that my FUP would be resetted and this "mistake" would not be repeated in the future. After this call, I waited for another hour and there was no FUP reset. After the call, I was still getting the same speed and all my efforts were in vain. In the second call, I had to retell everything and this was extremely pain full for me mentally(I had already done this 5 times before with the first level customer care executives). Even after this call, my problem wasn't resolved and in total, I spent 2 hours talking to the customer care executives that day alone. I lost half a day of work in talking these "customer care" people. After this I was told the billing department will be calling me since I had paid for the FUP reset. I have got no calls yet, but I did get the next month's bill !

I get my 75GB exhausted in 15 days .. this is the 3rd month I see this.


ACT is ready to provide a day wise break up of the usage.
However, they cant provide the website that was accessed during that time.

But, if we raise a complaint and get an FIR, then they are ready to get the complete data.

If this happens next time, I am getting an FIR.
You are absolutely true a I completely empathy you as I am currently going through the same phase.
To me the FUP of 50 GB got finished within 5 days of installation without downloading or browsing any HD content except for regular mail checkups and social networking.

SIck with ACT.

Same for me as well for last 2 months my FUP is getting exhausted before the month ends.
We are only 2 at my place and i am not there at home during office time so this leaves it with 1 prime user.

This month my 50GB FUP was expired on 18th Dec-2015.

victorvasanth6 : Could you please advise what do you mean by FIR, even i would like to raise one. Are you referring to police complaint/FIR or is it a complaint with Act Team.

This happened to me as well. 50GB Exceeded in 4 days

My Account Id 1239373, subscribed for ACT Blaze (50GB FUP). Since last month facing problem with FUP, 20th December speed went down to 512kbps from 30mbps.. thinking I consumed the full FUP, went ahead with FUP rest and end up paying Rs. 426 to got another ~25GB on 21st Dec. To my surprise, again speed went down to 512kbps with in a week. This is when I felt something going on wrong with my account, I'm sure I haven't used 25GB in a week time. Today it is confirmed... ACT is tampering the FUP. For my account FUP was automatically rest to 50 GB on 1st Jan, Today again (5th Jan) speed went down to 512kbps.. I called the customer care to hear I have consumed 51GB in 4days. This is impossible, I might have actually consumed 2-3GB and not 51GB. It proves that ACT is tampering the FUP. Though I'm not sure this is happening only with my account, but I do see similar complaints created. 2 requests 7174401 are 7174448 were created for the same, hope ACT can resolve these on priority..

Today, couple ACT executives called me and trying to prove that this is consumed by me or someone hacked my router. They also send me report.. Which clearly show that couple IP address are added to my account wrongly.. (notice there is no change of IP for a prolonged period and a continuous download during the day and night).
i have the same problem,
my account id is 11253318. subscribed for ACT storm 75gb. i was using ACT s=blaze and 50gb got expired so early by 15 days itself so i upgraded to ACT storm and i face the same problem now. i request act to send me my internet usage details. my mail id is [protected]@gmail.com .and during night time my internet speed is less than 3mbps. i did speed test for 4-5 times and i found the same results. please get back to me ASAP.
same problem here...
i have 2 connections...

my id's are
11055973
11086625

and i want my usage details of both the accounts...

resolve this by tomorrow itself...
This appears to be a widespread issue. ACT surely is involved in something fishy here. I have been getting my FUP exhausted pretty early every month for past few months. Even with very little usage, i have 10 Gb used up in 5 days of feb. I don't know what they mean by "your grievance has been resolved". Anyone wants to share what their response was to complaints?

What's going on? It's just been 6 days since my fup reset and it already shows 51 gb is used up? Are you kidding me? Fix this issue please. Please stop tampering with our fup. I've barely downloaded 2 Gb of stuff and it shows 51gb done. Reslove it ASAP please.

i have the similar problem,
my account id is 11527912 . subscribed for ACT lightning package of 75gb. i was using ACT broadband for 2 years in chennai with absolutely no problem .

It has been 1 month since I installed ACT IN BANGALORE and this month it shows I have used up 75 gb in 6 days !!! Is it even possible with just one person at home checking email !! And I use my internet only after 8pm at night . This is criminal and cheating and needs to be taken up seriously .
My internet is so slow now that I cannot even check email .
I don't plant to continue with this ACT broadband if this is the pathetic service and absolute cheating which goes on

my mail id is [protected]@gmail.com and please get back to me ASAP.

I have a 30GB FUP on my broadband connection of ACT. I monitor the complete bandwidth daily through custom open source firmware installed on my router. So every traffic in and out is monitored.

They capped on 20GB instead of 30GB and restricted the bandwidth to 512K. I have a complete stats from my router you can see. Even 512 Kbps also is too low, actually I get around 120Kbps and I have a proof of that.


These ACT guys are big cheaters.

Any ACT guy here fix the problem, otherwise will be complaining to TRAI.

I've been facing similar issues and have just logged a complaint against them.

100GB of data gets exhausted in 6 days when no one in my house uses the internet so frequently.

Could you guide me as to how you got this data?
