As part of its T20 Data Surprise, ACT is adding 250GB data for free to every customer's account so that they can watch the IPL 2018 matches without any interruption online. This is a good gesture from the Internet Service Provider, and it will certainly cheer up the ACT Fibernet subscribers. The Indian Premier League 2018 will kickstart from today and users can view the Live matches online at Hotstar with either the premium subscription or with the newly introduced Rs 299 Sports-only pack.
If you're an Airtel customer, you can watch the Live matches only exclusively on Airtel TV application, while Jio users can do the same on JioTV application. The 250GB data, which ACT Fibernet is crediting will be valid until May 31, 2018.
