YouTube streaming/downloads is throttled on Act Broadband

[Zaphod]

It appears that ACT leases bandwidth from either BSNL or Reliance to send traffic to gateways at Chennai, Mumbai and Cochin. These gateways are primarily owned by Tata and Airtel. So if the dispute is with Tata or Airtel, even Chennai would have shitty speeds to Singapore. This will get resolved only after ACT pays BSNL's bill.

Very helpful information, thanks. If they bug me with payment calls without rectifying this, I'm going to ditch ACT and switch over to Airtel. I've been a loyal ACT subscriber of their highest plans for almost 5 years now but a stable connection is far important to me than gimmicks like higher speeds or FUP limit.
