@ramkumarvche I guess you have to call up their customer care and ask or ping them on Twitter.


@bavusani Beam is part of ACT and Beam's Management is Different hence better plans.

At last they launched in Chennai and if I move to there it would be good for to have an ISP like ACT.

Cool, but terrible post FUP speeds. Is there any thought to so much difference?
(15MBPS-512KBPS, abt 30x throttle :cry: . Worse in higher tariff plans)
Are their plans even in Bangalore like that?

Doesnt due to the post FUP speeds. They get screwed once they hit FUP. That initial speed only helps hitting the FUP cap so much faster.

40GB is some huge data. do you know there are *still* people who live with 1 gb or 2gb per month(i am one of such people)? these plans are just a boon to those people. although i would agree that post fup speed is not so good. in my opinion they should atleast give 4mbps .

Mine is 50GB for 15MBPS @Rs.1140 but post FUP it is 2MBPS where as the next plan is 50MBPS with FUP 100/200GB @ 2500/2800 but post FUP it is 6MBPS. I reached my FUP on 15th of this month and Beam CC called me saying they want me to consider the next plan but my wife will kick my @ss if I do that.
I think for 50MBPS at least post FUP speed should be 20MBPS so that even if FUP is 100GB it does not matter at all and in my Plan post FUP speed should have been 8MBPS with FUP limit of 50GB but these Beam fellows does not care.
PS: The plans which I have specified above should be implemented in all cities where ACT/Beam is existing.

Was replying to that.
Yea I know there are people with low bandwidth usage. I have a friend who's major bandwidth usage comes only from steam and he plays a very limited set of games, so he doesnt use that much. More than you of course :p .Someone like you can use a friend's internet or 2G/3G. Works out cheap since it's so little data. :p

What he said. The difference in speeds is really bad. The more speed you get, the faster it is to burn through all that data and reach your FUP limit.
Beam does seem to have better plans than ACT though.

Your Complaints are all Valid. ACT should bring Post FUP speed to 1mbps at least. I know they want to make good money but this is literally Punishing for crossing FUP limits or probably I should say 15mbps up to 40Gb plan, 512kbps is neglect-able for user to get used to.

If i Were You, I would Give my Feedback to them on twitter.
