Very weird behaviour Airtel Xstream Gigabit Plan | Airtel Xstream Broadband
I recently got Airtel Fiber installed at my home, I choose the Gigabit plan but I am getting very low and fluctuating speeds, upload speed is generally good(950 Mbps) All speeds are in Megabits per second and done on LAN using cat 6e cable unless otherwise stated. Speed on steam varies between...

Engineer said that it's probably a backend issue and airtel will not put the money and effort just for me.
I was on 300 Mbps plan, I did get around 340 Mbps on speedtest/downloading but real world performance was really poor.
As you can see in my thread, people really like to defend airtel no Matter what.
So 200 Mbps for 5500/6 months was a decent option

I’ve again upgraded to Gigabit. Here’s the issue I’m facing:
1. On Ethernet:
SpeedTest.net ANY server D350ish U900ish (Upload is perfect)
Fast.com D700ish U800ish (both perfect)
Speedtest.net.in D700ish U900ish (both perfect)
Any other website - Abysmal Download/Upload - Can’t help it I guess, so no problem for now.
The issue is only download over SpeedTest.net Indian servers. Over foreign servers I don’t even get 250 Mbps which I guess is normal.
2. Indian/EU servers:
Jitter over LAN - under 0.01 ms
Jitter over WiFi - about 1ms
Both perfect.
US servers:
Jitter over LAN - under 0.3 ms
Jitter over WiFi - 30-240 ms
Jitter over WiFi is an issue for US servers. But not an issue anywhere else in the world.
The thing is going from LAN to WifI increases Jitter 500-1000x. But since the Jitter is so less to EU/Indian servers over LAN, even 1000x of that is very less over WiFi. But since the jitter to US servers is just okay over LAN, it’s atrocious over WiFi.
What kind of jitter are you guys getting to Pilot New York over LAN and WiFi both?

Upgraded to Gigabit again. 
Still same issue. Download 350 Upload 900. Please escalate this and get this fixed. 
Upgraded to Gigabit again. Still same issue. Download 350 Upload 900. Please escalate this and get this fixed.
Using D-Link CAT6 to connect via Ethernet.
Tried connecting directly via modem. Tried multiple routers.
Tried multiple cables. Tried multiple PC (all capable of Gigabit, Core I7 32GB RAM SSDs etc), tried multiple iPad Pro 2018
Download on SpeedTest.net to ANY server including Bharti Airtel, Airtel Broadband etc is always D300ish U900ish.
If I use Fast.com (very little use for me) I can get D700+ U800+. If I use SpeedTest.net.in (unreliable) I get D700 U900.
However, the gold standard is SpeedTest.net. And there I get D350ish U900ish.
If I test using Airtel’s own Speed Test I still get D300ish U900ish.
Over WiFi using my Orbi system D300ish U500ish.
No matter how I look at it, D is limited around 300ish regardless of setup.
Upload is fine. On Fast.com Download is fine. But that is of very limited use.
When downloading from Apple servers I typically get 2-6 MBps (about 15-50 Mbps). If I use IDM (Internet Download Manager), I can get around 40 MBps (300 Mbps) per parallel download. With multiple downloads I can get a combined 90 MBps (700 Mbps).
But who really downloads multiple files at the same time using IDM on a Windows PC?
The speed on Mac and iPhone/iPad is closer to 5-10 MBps (80-150 Mbps when downloading from Apple servers.
But that’s besides the point. I’m looking at two things:
I should get 700-900+ Download from Bharti Airtel server at speedtest.net
Please fix the jitter to US servers. It should be under 10 ms max over WiFi and under 0.1 ms max LAN like EU/Indian servers.

Airtel guy came to my house today morning. He was on call with the back end. They fixed the speed issue. Now I get 850ish D and 900ish U.
Initially they even fixed the jitter to US servers. It was under 0.3 ms. However, the jitter issue is back after a few hrs. Speed is fine though. I am still happy.
YT IDM I was getting nearing 115 MBps consistently when I tried. This was with one download running.

That is why around 300Mbps is the optimum plan for the moment. Most websites and servers don’t support more than that and it is difficult to exceed that in WiFi. You only need 1Gbps if you have a very large tech hungry household logged in at the same time. Of course this will change in a couple of years.

I am giving few deal breakers below-:
1. CG-NET
It may not affect you but it really hampers performance.
2.Router
You cannot use Jiofiber Router in Bridge mode.
It really sucks as it is always accessible to be remotely controlled by MyJio app.It is a security nightmare.
3. Technical support
Imagine having a technical support that does not even know anything about the VLAN ID.
4.DPI
Yupp,Airtel also may be using it,but Jio is going way ahead and blocking access to VPN and sometimes legit websites like Reddit and telegram.It sucks dude.
5. Faith
Airtel guys know what they are doing and share required details so that you can manually configure router as per your security.They know the details of product.
But Jio is Ambani.I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS GUY.HE SAID """"DATA IS THE OIL."""" and I heard """"ALL OF MY USERS ARE MY PRODUCT""""
