  this Fair Usage Policy (FUP) is exhausted, there
  will be no extra charges for any additional data
  usage, though the speed will reduce to 1Mbps for
  the rest of the billing cycle. This also bundles
  three-month subscriptions to JioCinema and
  JioSaavn.

ACT Fibernet

• ACT Fibernet, on the other hand, offers plans
  starting at Rs 749 per month for its basic
  100Mbps plan with 500GB monthly data FUP. Post
  exhaustion, the speeds go down to 512Kbps.
  However, if you opt for any of the plans priced
  Rs 1,249 per month and above, post FUP your
  speeds will be 2Mbps.
• It is notable, that ACT is offering 1000GB of
  extra data free of cost, which means that there
  is a slim chance that you will be able to
  completely exhaust your free data limit. The most
  expensive plan is priced at Rs 4,999 per month
  which offers speeds of up to 150Mbps, and a total
  of 3500GB of data (2500GB 1000GB).

  Netflix bundle plans where customers can save up
  to Rs 300. The Platinum Promo Entertainment and
  Diamond Entertainment plans offer 150Mbps priced
  at Rs 999 and Rs 1,249 per month respectively.

Verdict

• Looking at many benefits offered and pricing as
  well as availability across India, it is obvious
  JioFiber is the most preferable option when it
  comes to wireless internet.
• Jio?Fiber also gives access to OTT?plans but only
  on the silver plan. But as for other features
  like gaming and video calling, Jio?Fiber
  definitely has an upper hand.
• We highly recommend switching to JioFiber
  broadband connection.
