ACT Fibernet on Wednesday announced an upgrade to its broadband plans in Chennai. The company has increased Internet speed across all its broadband plans and started offering 50Mbps as the base speed over the existing 30Mbps. The move, which appears to counter Jio Fiber, uplifts ACT Basic, ACT Storm, ACT Lightning, ACT Thunder, and ACT Incredible plans. Last month, ACT Fibernet increased monthly data allowance on its broadband plans in Bengaluru by up to 1,000GB. It had also revised its broadband plans for Chennai customers in July this year to offer upgraded speed on select broadband plans.

ACT Fibernet has upgraded the ACT Basic plan with 50 Mbps speed. It previously had 30Mbps speed. Similarly, the company has upgraded the ACT Lightning with 250Mbps speed, up from 200Mbps. The ACT Thunder has also been revised from the existing 250Mbps to 300Mbps. Besides, the ACT Incredible plan has received the updated speed of 350Mbps from 300Mbps.

All these five broadband plans with the upgraded speed are already listed on the ACT Fibernet site for the Chennai region.

Plan Name	Monthly Rental	Current Speed	Current FUP	Current Post FUP Speed	Revised Speed	Revised FUP	Revised Post FUP Speed
ACT Basic	799	30Mbps	120GB	512Kbps	50Mbps	200GB	512Kbps
ACT Storm	1099	175Mbps	1250GB	1Mbps	200Mbps	1250GB	1Mbps

ACT Incredible	1999	300Mbps	2000GB	2Mbps	350Mbps	2000GB	2Mbps

Back in July, ACT Fibernet revised its select broadband plans in Chennai to offer faster Internet speeds. The company at that time revised the ACT Storm, ACT Lightning, and ACT Incredible to offer as much as 300Mbps speed along with 2000GB of FUP limit.

ACT Fibernet also recently increased the monthly data allowance and increased its Internet speeds in Bengaluru by at least 25Mbps. Moreover, the recent moves were aimed to make the company's presence stronger against Jio Fiber that offers broadband plans starting at Rs. 699 with at 100Mbps speeds and minimum FUP of 100GB.
