After my ordeal with them last month, which you can read here BEWARE ACT is adding false GBs to FUP (download limit) usage • ACT Fibernet
I turned the traffic meter built into my router, as soon as my computer booted up on the first day of the month, before I started browsing. Now I've monitored the usage closely, on ACT's portal page, and on my router's meter. And I've noticed ACT's meter start overtaking my router meter, MB by MB. It started out at 30 MB for the first few days, then suddenly spiked to 50 MB. I don't know when ACT is gonna pull last month's stunt again, as they've not resolved last month's issue in any way whatsoever. I've attached the screenshot comparing both.
This was at 11:10 AM, the discrepancy was 50 MB. By 2:25 PM it was:
The discrepancy had magically grown to 59 MB! In 3 hours, unprecedented for this month.
The only way this is possible is if they count uploads; but they say they don't here: ACT Broadband | Broadband High Speed | Internet Connection | Internet Plans | Internet Broadband | Broadband Bangalore (Chennai).
This is how they swindled me out of 20 GB last month. While they've been restraining themselves to megabytes so far, I don't know when they'll pull last month's fraud again.
