And why again is Airtel better than Jio?

[Lobogris]

Check my new reply. Airtel fixed it. Now I’m getting 1 Gbps. For a brief second it was 1.5 Gbps.

Nevertheless, the point I made remains valid.

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""""

Haha. This man said everything which many doesn't understand.

Jio is good in some terms but for sure not anywhere near Airtel.

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.

Don't expect this in Jio or any other ISP will be my conclusion to you for your question. There are many more technical where Airtel is better but to explain them you would have to use JioFiber yourself.

All over CAT6

@Nitin that is correct.

one more thing my office VPN gets disconnected after every 5-10 mins on jio fiber
But with airtel i am not having any disconnection issue with same vpn.

Same thing is happening to me. What solved the issue for you?

 

[ishanjain28]

@Shades it is most likely happening because of cgnat in Jio. Try lowering keepalive if your VPN has that setting or try setting up vpn tunnel over ipv6. Probably not much else you can do.

This is rdg point 2.

In Airtel fiber too, though the Huawei GPON/ONT can be put in bridge mode, the plan change won't work in bridge mode. This happened with me . Only after putting it back to router mode, the plan change happened. May be this could be one reason for Jio not allowing bridge mode. But, how many times does one do plan change. Since Airtel is postpaid type, I kept checking the different plans using the change plan option in router mode.

But what's the link between bridge mode and access to the ONT for plan change. Isn't the plan change done in the backend servers. Pl enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

 

[gopichandpai]

Plan change is not related to bridge mode at all. I guess it was just an issue with your plan change request on airtel's back end. That gave you the feeling that plan change can't be done when on bridge mode. Also, the person you spoke to didn't have any clue, so he also told you that plan change didn't happen because of bridge mode.

 

[Venkata Ramesh Chandra V]

Dear @gopichandpai, If its not related, why did they send a technician to my house saying that they will do a plan change via app on their mobile. I guess they want access to my ont for doing this.

When I said that mine is in bridge mode, he said that's the reason why it was not done automatically. I reverted it by the time he came home. He did something and it was done immediately. Any how, now that since the ont is back in bridge mode, I'll try a plan change again after few days and check if it gets done without any issue.

@Kick933 how exactly does CG-NAT hampers performance? I'm really curious to know. As far as I understand, except the applications which need open NAT like P2P gaming, everything should work fine and it shouldn't affect things like latency in other applications.

 

[gopichandpai]

@Venkata Ramesh Chandra V I still believe it was just a conincidence and there was some issue on their side. They just used the excuse of not being in bridge mode was the reason.
