Hows it for gaming though?

I didn't play much multiplayer on Jio, was always connected to Airtel.

Though the few times I did play, I didn't have much problems, occasional ping spikes were there though.

Anyway, I am hoping that over the past few months they would have ironed all the bumps out.

Satisfactory performance for all the streaming platforms? I mean, primarily, Netflix/Prime/Hotstar

Netflix HDR streams great and so does Prime. Dont watch Hotstar on TV so no idea about that. YouTube also works great. Have never experienced any lag when it comes to streaming.

It's more or less same as Airtel. I only play GTA 5 online and sometimes pings do spike within gameplay. Haven't tried any other game yet so can't comment.

Torrent download on Utorrent mostly ranges between 3-5 MB per sec. Which is good enough for me as I watch most content via streaming and rarely torrent now.

I did a trial run with them.
Everything was working smooth but suddenly the speeds dropped on selected websites.
They use deep packet inspection of some kind which makes it throttle particular sources or even delivery methods like P2P even if it's encrypted.
Hell, I showed them that Ubuntu torrent (legal) doesn't pick up speed and all they said was "Torrent illegal hai sir".
 
So in it's current state, Jio is only good enough for streaming.
How do you know they are using deep packet inspection?

They are so clueless that they admitted it up openly:

 

Reliance has said little publicly about Jio, and even less about the potential for wide-scale data mining in a country where consumers have not, to date, made a big deal about online privacy. But top executives are clear on the opportunity.

“It’s called Deep Packet Inspection, and what you can do with the analytics of that is mind-boggling,” said a senior Reliance executive, referring to a practice that digs into ‘packets’ of data created by computers for efficiency, mining them for information.

For starters, one of my known Airtel Engineer jumped the ship and went to Jio.

He let me know that they implement it when I asked about P2P throttling.

 

Also, one of my college's mass data server is P2P based (healthy seeder ratio), generally it's heavily encrypted but I was in hurry and was downloading with a pretty weak encryption, something like you will find in Utorrent settings.

P2P speeds ranged between 3-4 Mbps while direct download from same server was in 15-18 Mbps range. Mind you, these were just datasets for my project.

 

Also, you can easily see and predict when it's gonna throttle after using it for a while for specific file types.

Porn, torrents, some VPNs blocked. Closed down router. Deep packet inspection. Many reasons to not go for jio fiber. Just wait and watch. Your own ISP will reduce prices to compete. 

Yeah, I am just waiting for the plans to go official so that other ISP reduce price.

im on Airtel lol.. 100mbps connection 1000gb data (under special offer)

 

Airtel mobile does give better speed than Jio as it has less users. So i expect in long run Airtel will remain faster than Jio even in broadband space?

Not really, they have to specify in their terms and conditions whether they throttle the speed based on total bandwidth availability. Otherwise to be termed as a Broadband, they need to provide dedicated/unshared bandwidth, mobile data doesn't have to adhere to these definitions.

 

Also, I am still stuck on 40Mbps Airtel because of feasibility but it's still better than the Jio Trial I had, they used to throttle downloads most of the things which weren't mainstream.

So Jio fiber plans are so lame that no one has even bothered posting them or discussing about them here [emoji38]

There are lots of discussion going on Redditt and broadband forums. Almost everyone is pissed with the crap plans. I expect a change in plans within couple of months.

Mukes is doing FUP plans in 2019, when my cablewala-to-real-company ISP gives me 50 mbps unlimited for 750
Mukes can fucc right off.

The only company he can compete with now is BSNL :rofl:

Man, please don't quote bullshit. Most media sites have no f**king idea of the plans. Even Jio's site has no mention of DTH. 

Everybody is the regurgitating some bullshit in the past 24 hours. Heck, even local sales people aren't sure of the annual offers at the moment. 

It's a mess.
