KunjanPSD Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Anyone using Airtel V-fiber and using another router or router+modem combo than the one provided? Need to upgrade for better range, strength and overall features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
him2anshu Posted August 1, 2019 Report Share Posted August 1, 2019 I have recently moved to Bangalore for a new job, and I am renting a flat in Langford Town, Shanthi Nagar area. Can anyone help me in finding a good internet provider here. The landlady said go for 'Act Fibernet' but their reviews are bad and everyone is complaining about the service and downtime. Airtel V-Fiber is not providing the connection in that area yet. So, please suggest some other providers which are reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're bad for all ISPs because no one leaves a good review when they like the service. So, should I go ahead with Act Fibernet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using ACT Lightning (125 Mbps, 650GB, 1Mbps Post FUP, 1399INR + Tax) since last 2-3 years now. We had disconnects in the early days, but now its rare. Even if you do, raise a complaint through app and they usually resolve within hours. I'm in Munnekolala, Marathahalli. I get about 45ms ping (Singapore Server) playing Apex Legends. BFV was about 23ms but I don't play that anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have called them up and asked for a visit on Saturday. One thing, if you can tell, how much is the final bill every month comes for your plan. My flatmate's company is reimbursing the internet bill upto Rs 1000 per month, so I was planning to opt 1199 + Tax plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people, myself included, are on 300mbps plan but limited to 40mbps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I mean, primarily, Netflix/Prime/Hotstar Most of the times it worked great for the mentioned platforms. Was easily able to play two concurrent 4k HDR streams. Although there were some slowdowns, took ages to auto switch quality on Prime and Netflix, not many though. Given they are teaming up with Microsoft now, I am pretty sure that it would be better because of caching on cdns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
