  Sensing a threat from JioFiber and Airtel Xstream, the ACT Fibernet has come up with innovative promotion to offer 20% extra data and 1000GB data for free on its annual plans.

  The ACT Fibernet is considered to be India’s one of the leading internet service providers. With aggressive plans, JioFiber is definitely on a roll. To keep its momentum, even Airtel also joined the race offering Gigabyte speed plans.

  To maintain its subscriber base, all the existing internet service providers started offering extra data and doubling the internet speed. The latest to enter the race is the announcement of ACT Fibernet’s 20% extra data on long-term plans.

  The Atria Convergence Technologies (popularly known as ACT Fibernet) has got a good subscriber base in major areas like Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

  20% Extra Data on Annual Plans:

  As per the new 20% extra offer, the popular plans like ACT Silver Promo that offers 100 Mbps internet speed with 1000GB monthly data will now offer extra 1000GB data. This extra GB is valid for the duration of the subscription period. Currently, this extra 20% data is limited to Delhi capital region.

  However, one can expect the same offer to be applicable to other cities as well.

  ACT Fibernet Delhi Plans:

  The ACT Silver Promo broadband for a 12-month period will effectively cost ₹685 per month. If one makes a monthly payment it will cost ₹799. Sadly, the extra 20% data benefit will not be available in a monthly plan. Another advantage of taking the annual plan is waiving off the installation charges.

  The next higher plan is ACT Platinum Promo where the subscriber gets 200Mbps speed with a monthly data of 2000GB data. The user gets extra 1000GB data. Post the usage of 3000GB data, the speed comes down to 1Mbps. At ₹1049 monthly rental, this plan effectively comes down to ₹899 per month in the annual plan.

  As a promotional offer, there will be a ₹100 cashback on Netflix subscription and waive off on installation charges.

  The highest 300Mbps ACT Diamond plan offers 3000GB monthly data and 1000GB extra data. Post FUP speed is 2Mbps. At ₹1349, this plan also packs Netflix benefit and a free Wi-Fi router.

  The state-run telecom operator BSNL is known for its wide coverage. However, many of its subscribers are not aware of the bundled plans that the company offers.

  It is a known fact that BSNL is offering broadband solution under a new brand name - Bharat Fiber. It employs the same technology being used by private telecom operators such as Airtel Xstream and JioFiber.

  BSNL known for its remote coverage is trying its best to provide high-speed broadband plans at affordable price. Starting at ₹449, one can enjoy BSNL Bharat Fiber services.

  Neither Amazon Prime Nor Netflix Benefit:

  Unlike JioFiber or Airtel Xstream, the BSNL doesn’t have any partnership with Amazon Prime or Netflix to provide their OTT content. However, many subscribers are even unaware that BSNL Bharat Fiber offers Disney+ Hotstar premium content at no extra charge.

  This is definitely a premium OTT plan when compared to the Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription. No other telecom operator provides Disney+ Hotstar premium pack for free. Even the popular Jio and Airtel do provide a Disney+ Hotstar VIP subscription-only that costs ₹399 a year.

  Disney+ Hotstar Premium Pack of ₹1499 for FREE!

  alt text

  In reality, the Disney+ Hotstar premium subscription costs ₹1499 a year. The main difference between the VIP and Premium subscription is the delivery of the content in English. The VIP pack delivers the OTT content in regional language whereas the premium pack delivers the OTT content in English.

  As a result, one can enjoy English movies, Disney+ Hotstar Originals and IPL live-action in English. If you want to subscribe to Disney+ Hotstar premium, then it costs ₹1499 a year or ₹299 per month. Thus, the Disney+ Hotstar premium is way ahead in terms of value.

  BSNL Bharat Fiber Plans:

  Unfortunately, many BSNL broadband users are not aware of this OTT offering. Competing with the private players, BSNL has categorized them into 5 plans offering a peak speed of up to 300 Mbps. They include ₹449 (Fibre Basic), ₹599 (Fibre Basic Plus), ₹799 (Fibre Value), ₹999 (Fibre Premium) and ₹1,499 (Fibre Ultra).

  The BSNL Bharat Fiber ₹449, ₹599, and ₹799 do not offer Disney+ Hotstar OTT benefit. The Disney+ Hotstar premium subscription is bundled with ₹999 and ₹1499 packs. To the unaware, the ₹999 BSNL Bharat Fiber plan and ₹1499 pack offers 200 Mbps speeds and 300 Mbps speeds respectively up to 3.3TB every month.

  Post the FUP limit, speed is throttled to 2Mbps. As an add-on, the BSNL offers truly unlimited voice calling benefit across India. If we compare the Fiber plans that are under ₹799, then it is clear that none is providing OTT benefit.

  BSNL Doesn’t Give Up!

  However, the higher-end plans are bundled with Amazon Prime. In comparison, the BSNL Bharat Fiber’s bundled pack with Disney+ Hotstar premium is a decent value addition.

  So, what is your opinion on the latest BSNL Bharat Fiber offering of Disney+ Hotstar premium subscription? Share your thoughts.
