India Finally Joins the Giga Enabled Elite Club: Here Are the High Speed Broadband Plans Available Right Now

India is finally catching up with other countries in terms of the internet speeds. Just two days ago, ACT Fibernet, India’s third largest Internet Service Provider (ISP) launched a new wired broadband service which delivers speeds up to 1 Gbps. It is worth noting that this is the first time ever in the history of India for an ISP to offer such insane speeds and that too at a modest price.

With this announcement, India joins the elite list of ‘Giga’ countries that includes the US, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, etc., where some ISPs are already offering 1 Gbps speeds. Earlier, the average internet speed in India was just 2.5 Mbps, and now, customers under the new ACT plan can enjoy speeds up to 400 times more than the previous speeds, which not to mention is a great achievement.

Before ACT’s announcement, the maximum speeds offered by other ISPs was restricted to 100 Mbps under the new Fiber to the Home (FTTH) service. In India, the top two spots in the broadband segment are occupied by Airtel and BSNL. Both the operators offer 100 Mbps plans.

Here are the high-speed broadband internet plans available in India right now.

The newly announced ACT Giga plan offers insane speeds of 1 Gbps at a price of Rs. 5,999 and comes with a FUP of 1TB per month, which will be more than enough for an average user. Post the FUP; the speeds will be decreased to 10 Mbps.
ACT Fibernet’s direct competitor, Bharti Airtel has a strong presence in the broadband segment. The company’s highest plan offers 100 Mbps speeds and costs Rs. 3,999, but comes with only 500TB of FUP data. Also, the speed will be reduced to 1 Mbps post the FUP.
