Getting more than allotted bandwidth on speed tests

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 11:30 AM PST

So I have a Siti 1Mbps plan. On speedtest.net, I get speeds of around 1 mbps all through the day.

 

But on other checkers, such as Bandwidthplace.com and http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ I get D/L speeds of nearly 8 Mbps

 

Any idea why this is happening?

 

Thanks

I didn't even cross FUP and even worse ACT doesn't reset at 12:00 AM :(

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 11:25 AM PST

ACT somehow dislikes me! Complaint number registered: 000 176 4224 for downgrading speed before reaching FUP

 

I asked Customer care specifically if the reset will happen at 12:00 AM? They say "YES" but it "NEVER" happens!

 

Only empty promises....

 

I have taken screenshot, I will upload soon. I am not able to even upload as small image :(

 

 

Beware, ACT downgrades your speed before reaching FUP Limit, It happened twice to me. Who's next?

Posted: 28 Feb 2014 11:16 AM PST

ACT Customer id               :  10598129

 

My Oct,2013 month usage : 54.18 GB

My FUP limit                       : 60 GB (ACT Indulge plan)

 

My speed was reduced to 512 Kbps on Oct 27th and again on December 29th even before reaching FUP Limit.
 
I called customer care several times. They said the usage details are ''delayed" by 24 Hrs and
I may have reached the FUP Limit at server (Pathetic and I accepted because I don't have proofs)
 
I've proofs with the total usages which I got from "My usage". Every time when my usage is around 54GB, my speed goes to 512Kbps
 
I've suffered with Low Speeds. from 25 Mbps to 512 Kbps even before reaching FUP Limit???
 
 
Guys! Beware of ACT or if you already have ACT, keep watching your "My Usage"

Release Date: 14th March 2014
Starring: Rishi Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana & Sonam Kapoor
Directed by: Nupur Asthana
Produced by: Aditya Chopra
Written by: Habib Faisal
Music by: Raghu Dixit
Lyrics by: Anvita Dutt

 

Love mein thhoda stupid!
Mohit is a marketing whiz kid vying for a step up the career ladder...
Mayera - a financial brain with a penchant for shoes...
They're a young middle-class corporate couple that's ambitious and likes the good life too.
They work hard, they party hard.
They're also passionately in love with each other.
Their belief: You can live on love and fresh air...
Their obstacle: Mayera's wilful bureaucratic father V.K Sehgal.
The obstinate old man believes that only a rich man can bring Mayera happiness and a mid-level executive like Mohit simply isn't good enough!
Exactly how fragile are relationships in these times where consumer lifestyles dictate their very nature and intensity? Who gets the last laugh when recession strikes and the lack of money tests love... credit-card-junkies private-sector Mohit-Mayera; or safe-playing sarkari, V.K. Sehgal?
BEWAKOOFIYAAN, a contemporary slice of life story which turns set notions about relationships on their head is directed by Nupur Asthana and has been written by the versatile writer/director Habib Faisal. The film is produced by Aditya Chopra. This is Nupur's second film for the Studio, after her successful directorial debut last year with Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge, under the Y-Films banner.
The film stars Rishi Kapoor, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sonam Kapoor in lead roles.

Hannibal

This could very well be my favorite new show. Very high quality stuff. Brilliant.

Hannibal is an American thriller television series developed by Bryan Fuller for NBC. The series is based on characters and elements appearing in the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris and focuses on the budding relationship between FBI special investigator Will Graham and Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a forensic psychiatrist destined to become Graham's most cunning enemy. The series received a 13 episode order for its first season and, unlike most U.S. network shows, any future seasons will also feature 13 episodes. David Slade executive produced and directed the pilot. The series premiered on NBC on April 4, 2013. In response to the Boston Marathon bombings and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, NBC has pulled the fourth episode from its lineup at Fuller's request, going straight to the fifth episode, moving the season finale from June 27, 2013 to June 20, 2013.
