Upgrading to 1Gbps Plan and Offer (TataSky Broadband)

tatyasky · Aug 30, 2021

Nokia ONT. But I have it under bridge mode. I use Asus RT-AX88U for PPPOe. TBH, Tata Transit is shit. Upload speeds are heavily throttled. Defeats the purpose of Gigabit connection.

@vishalrao Downloading experience is totally satisfactory.

It took 11 mins 20 secs to download 79.36 GB File with average download speed of 120 MBps (960 Mbps)

Oh wow! This is so tempting

But sadly I haven't received any offer yet from TSBB.

@Chip
Offer is there. Just call them up and ask.
If you check the wordings in their Whatsapp message, they say upgrade to 1Gbps or above speed. So do they have higher speed plans? I wish they give me a new ONT having 2.5 Gbps ethernet port so that I will get full 1 Gbps speed when I upgrade my router to one having 2.5 Gbps WAN Port like RT-AX86U or RT-AX89X that has 10 Gbe port.

@tatyasky Thanks bro, yeah, I'll call them up tomorrow and enquire. Their website is down and the 1 Gbps option does not show up in the app for me. I need to upgrade a lot of hardware at my end including my old routers to make them relatively future proof for at least 5 years.

Ok, so I spoke to the call centre and they confirmed availability. I told them about the discount they said they could offer 20% I said no, I want 30 because it was given to my friend

They're arranging a call back tomorrow let's see.

Hey, could you please guide me on how you setup the Nokia router in bridge mode?

Chip · Sep 1, 2021

@Code9988 I was told they cannot switch the Nokia to bridge mode so they gave me a dumb ONT. Oh well, I don't know about the latest batch of routers though.

My Nokia ONT/ONU was put into bridge mode by the engineer who had come to install the connection. So I am on Bridge mode from Day 1.

Actually the discounts are completely random and it would be hard to get them to change because someone else got it. Kinda like lootbox.
