If ACT plans to give unlimited broadband plans, then they have to overhaul the whole revenue system.
They will lose their revenue from flexybytes+, router, and other services like gaming,Yupp TV, ZEE, netflix subscription etc. These services are provided by ACT at much higher cost than JioFiber and Airtel Broadband.
Moreover, even the corporate plans provided by ACT Fibernet (in Hyd) gives 400 Mbps speed with 1.5 TB FUP limit.
If they give unlimited plans for residential users, then they have to increase the FUP for commercial plans also.
At the moment, ACT doesn't appear to be in a situation to provide unlimited FUP and subscription services just like JIO and AIRTEL.
 
@kraj105 Well, it's just a matter of time before competition will make them feel the heat. Airtel has already adapted. I only remember ACT Ceo saying once that they look forward to Jio Fiber rollout:
Why ACT Fibernet Is Actually Looking Forward to the Jio GigaFiber Rollout
I just hope they realize this, sooner the better.

I don't think act is earning enough revenue to think about from these apps and flexybytes + .. so what I'm thinking is they will bring unlimited plans to selected cities by the end of this month or year.. out of 10 act customers maybe 2 or 3 will opt for these apps and buys flexybytes + so it's not a big deal..

Not even 2/10,maybe 5-10/1000 will opt for these apps. ACT doesn't need to give apps etc. They just need to increase FUP limit, its likely that competition will make them do it. Losing on FlexByte is better than losing customers overall.

JioFiber is available only in very limited areas even within the cities where it is available. They are mainly targeting apartments and gated communities. My house is just beside a gated community, but jio is not interested to give the connection.
 

They have a post on their website from as recently as this year on why users "don't need" unlimited data plans. So I highly doubt that will change unless these 3.3TB data caps are phenomenally compelling to a vast swath of users.

Well, if they really think that most users don't use or need much data...then what's the problem in announcing the unlimited FUP plans.
 
We should be expecting some announcement in next 2 days.


I think they'll go with 500GB> 1,2,3,4TB FUP caps depending on plan pricing .

4TB for 1GBPS plan.

Note: ACT offers 1₹/GB in Chennai already, so not a big deal for other cities..
 
Even if they can't offer UL, if they want they can give good service, free Android box without forced dish, good low cost plans without forced costly installation with them, and a router that is actually useful. I don't know why they got so late with their announcement, but I ended up getting Airtel in the meanwhile and it would have been nice if I got good wifi router and a good Android box right out of the box instead of having to spend time and money on them. I don't really need so much data
 
" Users dont need unlimited "
" Users also don't need to pay more then 499 for high speed UL internet "

I think 3.3TB is the limit applied by TRAI.
