ACT Fibernet Complaints & Reviews

My ACT(beam) Account Number is 224959. I am ACT (formerly Beam) customer since last more than 3 years[protected]. Now a days i am facing the problem of excess data usage i.e the free quota which is provided by service provider for a month and once we exceed that free quota our internet speed downgrades. I am currently under 6months subscription A-Max 650. Since last 3+ years i am sure i rarely might have exceed the free quota as prescribed per package for a month. I think i never exceeded that quota. But past few months i am exceeding that quota in just under 20 days. When i contacted ACT through Chat and phone call and requested them to email me my internet usage history for a particular month they told me to send a request to [protected]@actcorp.in . But i never get any response from that email id. I requested in February 2015 twice and now in march 2015 twice. But i didn't got any response. Its our right to have a look of our own internet usage history details. When Beam launched first in hyderabad, at that time they were providing that option on there website, but now that option has been removed and we can only check the total GB of data used in a month instead of complete session details for a particular day. I think ACT is cheating in this regard and they are internally manipulating data so that they can reduce our internet speed. There Fair Usage Policy(FUP) is just a pathetic, fraud and cheating policy by manipulating our data. If they are not doing so, why they have removed option of checking session usage history from there website and why they don't want to email that usage history to customers every month or on as requested basis. This FUP policy should be transparent. I am sure ACT will surely loose many customers do to there changed behavior in policies and due to there nature of closing tickets without issued being resolved. The higher management should look into these matters and try to serve customers in a better way. Send me my internet usage history every 15 days or atleast once in a month, so that i can also track who is using how much data in a month in my home.

Hi, I had Beam Internet connection when I was residing at Ramanthapur but when I shifted I was told that Beam connection was not available in that locality. I shifted to the next lane only. Later after we relocated to Uppal, I called the customer care several times for the reconnection but all the tickets were closed without providing a proper resolution. Ticket# 14107561, 14201396. I was not told the reason for closing the tickets without the issue being resolved. I did not expect this kind of customer service from Beam.

There is not internet connection for the past 4 days and we have been calling the customer care umpteen no. of times. The answer is "will be resolved in next few hours". All our company's operations have come to a halt because of this. Need immediate action.

Paid advance rental of 1150 and 500 Rupees for installation of new internet connection from ACT Fibernet Bangalore. 5th Jan - Payment done 24th Jan - Got connection at 8.30 PM 26th Jan - Connection dropped on its own at around 7 PM 30th Jan - Got connection after fighting a lot with Customer Care 2nd Feb - Connection dropped on its own 6th Feb - Requested to cancel connection 7th Feb - Got cancellation confirmation mail from ACT 26th Feb - Got a mail asking Bank details for NEFT transfer of refund amount Today 18th March 2015 - NOT GOT REFUND YET. When I called Customer Care they said the request got closed automatically. So they had to place a new request again for refund. NEED TO GET REFUND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

hi this is shravan, I have received below message from act fibernet Today at 4.56pm Dear Subscriber, we are facing intermittent issues in the network . We are working on resolving the same & should stabilize connectivity by 6pm. Inconvenience caused is regretted. - ACT Fibernet till now I am not getting internet connection and customer care support not available between 8 pm to 8 am... If I get the problem between 8 pm to 8am who can resolve this issue

RsonaI registered for ACT fibernet connection on 8th Feb 2015. But no one showed up for the installation till 6th March. All the members in the house being working, we called up ACT members both on company numbers as well as personal numbers to come whenever we are available. Moreover we took sick leaves for continuous week in order to get the connection but everything went in vain. Being ved up by their worst service till then, we finally told them to refund us the money on 6th March 2015 we would like to opt for some different internet provider. Today being 18th March, they have not refundes the money too.

I have 50Mbps Plan but I have frequent disconnections and the customer support never resolves the issue instead they annoy me by asking details again and again. They don't have a toll free number and whenever I call through my cell phone I get charged a lot. If I don't get connectivity Act or Beam should refund back my money for the day.

Even simple fault WILL NOT be attended for days together. Their infrastructure is very bad. They lay cables all over the trees which are prune to damages. They DON"T work on weekends and will attend to complaints only at their will. Customer support guys are very rude and their is no way you can reach out any sensible / senior guys.

hi dear beam telecom iam sufuring from internet since somany days i even contacted supervisor of beam telecom they even said that there no conectivity near our locality so we want our 4 months refund amount so please give our money i hope you will give our money back or else we are going to put a case on beamtelecom

I have raised request for "CPE Removal" many times in the past 6 months. Even I have sent mails at "[protected]@actcorp.in". But the ACT (Formerly BEAM) have not taken any action on that. Whenever we call the customer care, they register a ticket and without contacting the customer or resolving the reported problem closing the ticket. If we call them back, again to find why it has not been addressed, they are registering another new ticket and closing without any action. The below are few requests which were raised earlier without any resolution. 16155492 16124703 15103644 14955875 Only reason to continue with this broadband connection is, there is no alternative in my place. Please help me in this regard. Thanks for the support.

I have Beam TL account i.e., Act Fiber net now with account number 821061. We have taken 6 months package on November 8th. We had connection problem for almost one week and we raised a ticket on February 26 th, which was resolved. Not more than 15 days, we again had a connection problem on March 10 th for which again we raised a ticket and finally after a long 24 hours Internet started working on March 11th morning. This time not more than 5 hours, problem started and is still prevailing. Can I get any solution for this or at least remaining 3 months price back on cancellation?

I literally got cheated, deceived professionally by the ACT Broadband Company, which has assured me waive of Cheque bounce charges and charged after paying the money.when I took ACT broadband (Fiberbet) connection, their agent didn't inform me about the charges for the cheque bounce which is clearly their mistake. After that when I asked for closing the connection to change the service provide, ACT broadband employee has assured me of waiving of the cheque bounce charges due to which i decided to go ahead with the connection. But when the bill got generated I observed that they charged. When I called back to ACT customer care they said their employee didn't assure me of anything. I got call from number [protected] on 25th & 26th Feb, 2015. Later I spoke to a person name Sashank on 4th March, 2015. Please resolve my issue.

I have been facing issues with connectivity since last few days. I first raised ticket with the customer care (Ticket #[protected], to which they said, that the issue would be resolved in 24 hours. However, to my utter dismay, the ticket was closed without any action being taken on it. I again raised a ticket ( #[protected] and since then, despite calling them, n number of times and requesting them to escalate and prioritise the issue is unresolved. The technicians have not bothered to look into the issue and the customer care representatives are completely unaware on how to handle the problem. I am new customer, having got the connection just a week back. I chose Beam over Airtel, on hearing the good reviews about the connection and resolution to the problems. But one week into it, I am already regretting the decision to chose Beam.

Before applying for Act Internet I was using Metronet which was giving me 15 Mbps and 100GB and after FUP 1 Mbps and as Metro net doesn't have online payment and also their service guys are not that Professional( Metro Net Runs by Local Cable Operators) I choose to move to act, My Metronet expiry date 6 March so I called the Act sales guy on 3 March and he came on 4th of March and I told him the problem that My connection is going to expire in next two days and I need the connection ASAPso He told me that you will get the Connection in next two days or max by Sunday 8 March and took all the documents and asked me to do the Payment through online so I have done that so from that date I am calling him and he Is saying you will definitely get the Connection by Sunday and Today(Sunday) also when I called him that Please don't call me again and again sir You will get the connection but after 4O' Clock he is not receiving the call so I called the Area Manager and after hearing everything he told me that I will call you within 3o Minutes but after that I didn't get any call nor He is receiving my call So I called the Customer Care team and told them all the problem and asked for refund and the Unprofessional guy is shouting on me and told me that we still didn't get your documents so we can't give you the refund so I told him that If you didn't get the documents How I get the call from your customer care no(The same no on Which I called the customer care team) for Verification of the Documents then He told me that it is not updated and call me that and It will take 25 days for the refund so it is better You should wait 2-3 days more and get the connection, seriously I am frustrated with their service. Note: At some place they give the connection within 2 days and their speed and Up time is very good but their customer care team is very Unprofessional and their refund policy is very bad and also don't believe on their Sales Team

To whomever it may concern, ACT Id[protected] Name - Kiran Kempaiah This has been a RECURRING issue from past 5-6 months and is still not resolved. We run a business here and the connection goes ON & OFF everytime or there will be NO CONNECTION for hours together due to which our official hours are wasted till the technician comes and resolves it. Regardless of we requesting for the BOX to place it in on our building, your company has failed to satisfy the customer. If this is the way you guys respond to us then we will have to discontinue your service and opt for HATHWAY which is supposed to be really good. Even though we have opted for ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION there is no importance given to our request whatsoever. If this issue is not taken seriously just discontinue your service and give us our cash back.

Account No. 870003 Company collected money without checking feasibility for new connection. After confirmation of non-feasibility (after 4 days), refund not effected. Company withheld public money unauthorisedly, immorally and illegally. Customers forced to spend their valuable time incur expenditures, face mental agony etc. to get their money back from the company. Several phone calls, personal visits to various offices/officers, mails to nodal officers/appellate authorities going in vain. Company giving least case for refund of public money on flimsy grounds quoting internal rules, procedures, cheque-signatory not available/out of station etc. further cheating the customer with phone calls. Postponing refund every time. “Collection of money from public at more than 100 Mbps speed and refund of public money at less than 0.0001 kbps.” Regards, Vishnu

I’m an ACT broadband user and was very disappointed when they have started to cheat customers either by creating a bad internet connectivity issues, incorrect speed or incorrect usage details. I faced latter this month and was surprised as I use a ACT Lighting with 40 Mbps speed and download limit up to 75 GB my billing plan starts on 01 of every month and I skipped the payment and paid it the next day and to my luck the Net was not working on 03rd Feb 2015. Contacted the Customer Care and they stated that they were unable to ping the junction box and will have a technician to look into the issue and will be sorted within 24 hrs. I have made it a point to log into the portal page and ensure to capture a screenshot every time to have a track of my usage. I was shocked to see that the Net speed had drastically dropped so I checked the usage and was astonished as it stated that I had crossed my 75 GB limit without having internet working at my house due to a technical problem from ACT.I wrote this matter to ACT helpdesk, Nodal Officer, Appellate but they failed to respond to my mail for almost 3 days. Post which I wrote the mail marking Mr. Sunder Raju and Mr. Balan Malladi only them I got a response from ACT team and they stated that due to some technical glitch the mails that I sent was not delivered in their mailbox.ACT team sent me a data report that deducts the usage of the internet from my account. They were few points that had a mismatch so I requested for a system generated details rather than an exported excel sheet. The data that was sent out to me had a list of observations from my end.1. MacAddress does not match with the router MacAddress. 2. Please explain me these lines listed below? For 0:59:42 minutes the I/P and O/P units is 0 whereas for just 0:00:02 secs there is data recorded. 3. If there is an automatic reset for an account every 24 hours then please explain what went wrong on this day. 4. I stay in a locality where there are frequent power cuts. I do not see any data that supports this. I do have call logs and ticket numbers that I have logged with BESCOM5. If the reset is every 24 hours why is there a reset after 12 hours? 6. My internet cable was damaged and I was not using the service. Please check my call log with customer care to see how many times I have called to report the issue on 03rd Feb at 1324 to state that net is not working7. I was not able to use the internet on 03rd and 10th Feb 2015 and logged a complaint with customer care and provided a TAT of 24 hrs. In that case how is there data for these day?- On 03rd Feb 2015: First instance, Manjunath (Field engineer)visited my place to get the issue and stated that there is an issue with the cables and fixed the same. - On 10th Feb 2015: The engineer who visited my place on 11th Feb 2015 replaced the optic fiber cable as the construction plot next door had cut off the cables8. On 5th Feb there was some issue in the Junction box itself and your representative had come to fix the issue. Please check your call log. Why is there data when internet was not working? (let me know if you need the call log and the engineers contact details) Before sending out these above points I spoke to the ACT team member who was assigned to provide me a solution. He started to scream at me and failed to listen to my observations only because I said that the “Data is incorrect and you are cheating your customers, so I would need a compensation”. He started to state that I’m trying to threaten him and he was not worried what observations I have made and will get back to me after his findings. I did mention that I will write these details on Facebook and would never want any other customers to be embittered.I’m waiting to receive a response from ACT Team, I’m very much sure to get all my contacts to avoid using their service as they have built their customer database they have started to cheat them.
