ATC Fibernet has launched wireless broadband internet services with a speed of Gbps for the first time in India.
The 1 Gbps plan will be available for all retail customers in Hyderabad initially at INR. 5,999 per month, with a FUP of 1 TB.
The service will soon be expanded to all the 11 cities ACT is present.
The service was launched in the presence of K. Taraka Rama Rao, Minister for IT, Telengana.
ACT is the first ISP in India to giga enable an entire city in India.
India was one of the few countries to get broadband speeds of 1 Gbps.
ACT was the first ISP to provide such huge speeds and FUP to retail customers.
High speed connections are available only for enterprise customers. ACT Fibernet has made it available to any individual. It will be able to provide the high-speed service within 72-90 hours of application.
The average internet speed in India was only 2.5 Mbps compared to the 1 Gbps now offered by ACT. The downloads would be faster than transferring data from a USB drive.
This would enable users to upload even huge files to the cloud in seconds and download ten HD movies simultaneously in less than 10 minutes.
The upgrade could be done with the existing fibre network.
Only the last mile cabling would need replacement for supporting such high speeds.
The user would never have to worry about data limits or speeds any more.
Multiple users can simultaneously download or upload huge amounts of data without worries.
This would be a boon for startups, Malladi said.
