ACT Fibernet launches free work-from-home upgrade plan

Broadband service provider (ISP) ACT Fibernet said it is taking measures to ensure that its high-speed fiber services remain reliable, uninterrupted and prepared for its users, amid the increased bandwidth consumption caused by the work from home mode in the backdrop of COVID-19 outbreak.
ACT has also extended a free-of-cost work-from-home upgrade plan which offers speeds upto 300 mbps and unlimited FUP for this month and users can opt for this facility through the ACT Fibernet app on their phones.
Talking about steps taken to ensure safety and protection of its employees, ACT said its backend data centre team is taking proactive precautionary measures, like rotation of employees. To mitigate the increased bandwidth demands, ACT said it has built a ‘robust’ contingency plan and a business continuity to deal with eventualities– like quarantining of data centres and other critical assets, should any need arise.
