ACT Fibernet Free Speed Upgrade: Up to 500 Mbps

ACT Fibernet is upgrading existing broadband customers to a faster plan at no extra charge, as its Diwali offer. Which speed you move to depends on the plan you are on now. You claim it yourself from the ACT mobile app.

Your current plan	Upgraded to
Under 100 Mbps	100 Mbps
100 to 299 Mbps	300 Mbps
300 to 499 Mbps	500 Mbps

Who can use it

Only customers who already have an ACT Fibernet connection. New connections are not part of this offer. ACT sells different plans in different cities, so the name of the plan you end up on may not match a friend’s in another city, even at the same speed.

Is it worth it?

It costs nothing, so yes. The jump is biggest for people on entry-level plans. Someone on a 150 Mbps plan doubles to 300 Mbps for the same monthly bill. It is not confirmed whether any streaming subscriptions bundled with the higher plans come along with the speed, so treat this as a speed upgrade only.

Tips to make sure it works

The upgrade is not automatic. Open the app and accept it. After it is applied, restart your router and run a speed test on a wired connection or close to the router. An older router or a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band can hold speeds well below what the plan now allows.
