@vignesh_venkatesan I don't know why this amount 46 paisa is billed even though I paid for 3 months.

I used 10Gb but surprisingly it was showing 150Gb yesterday. Does Airtel credited any promotional data ? I didn't received any notification regarding extra data. Day before Yesterday it was 140Gb remaining but yesterday it was 150gb remaining !

No one knows the mystery behind the fup counters of these ISPs.
If you get something extra for free reap the benefits and don't question the isp overlords.

Act keeps a common ont device in a building From which multiple connections are provided through ethernet cables.
This ethernet cable can be directly plugged to a computer or used with a router.

@vignesh_venkatesan
Does ACT also provide direct fiber to the home (ftth connection) to individual houses like JioFiber without any ethernet cable?
Or they only use ethernet cables at every consumer's house at every city?

ACT only provide ethernet cable to the end consumer even if you get thier gigabit plans.

@vignesh_venkatesan @varkey What is the proper name of the technology which ACT used to provide upto gigabit WAN internet connection by ethernet cable (Rj45) to the customers houses? Is it called metro ethernet or power over Ethernet (POE) or something else ?

I think it's Fiber to the curb or fiber to the building as it is more closer the the customers compared to the fiber to the cabinet which actually used in vdsl like Airtel v-fiber.

@sidg2 It's fiber to the cabinet (FTTC) but usually fiber to the cabinet in Western countries are VDSL.
But ACT provides ethernet drop to the customer.
In Australia's terms
vfiber one is actually called fttn. Node
Act fiber box outside in vicinity is fttc. Curb
Fiber that airtel or excitel provides is fttp. Premises.

Airtel is providing speed as promised but the only problem is the router range issues, even though the signal is there when I am away from the router but the speed is reduced drastically by more then 50/60 percent. The strange fact is that 2.4 ghz is much more affected then 5 ghz. Anyone facing the same issue please let me know. Earlier with Jio, I was not facing these kind of issues.

Ya, I can go with any other extender, but I will include cost, lets ignore the cost part how can I purchase it not in this period. Also, I was asking that Is anyone facing the same issues or this is the issue with my unit only and also for corrective measures if found by someone.
