In my openion ACT is the best ISP in Bangalore, I found this network to be much better than any other provider in terms of reliability and the bandwidth, they seem very hacker friendly too, logging in as straightforward as a simple HTTP POST.

I have this script running in my router so that I never have to bother logging in.

#!/bin/bash

USERNAME=""
PASSWORD=""

curl --data 'act_username=${USERNAME}&act_password=${PASSWORD}&login=login' \
  http://portal.acttv.in -o /dev/null
