1and1 Broadband / HNS 2Mbps Unlimited Thane West Review

[thundurus]

Anyone using 1&1 broadband? Would like to know if they are still supporting Akamai/Torrent cache/pipelining as wells about their service.

Yes they support akamai , torrent cache is also supported but speed is capped at 4 MBps max , and what do you mean by pipelining ?

The youtube videos playing at LAN speed is done through pipelining i.e. using a separate bandwidth to send the data.
Anyway, do we need to mention that we need HNS or they provide it by default ?

Yes yes all google services are at LAN speed , this includes upload too , uploading videos to youtube and google drive uploads too . HNS is by default i think .

Finally got the connection, 2Mbps unlimited-annual for 5900Rs + 500Rs installation charges. They now provide only HNS service. So got that service by default. Speeds are as expected.
Thanks for your help.

very happy with the connection! best things about it:

- youtube (and google services) caching! i download a lot of youtube vids, and at speeds exceeding 2mbps while downloading them, its like a boon!

- better upload speeds than MTNL (although they keep fluctuating; have to talk about this with the LCO. had forgot the last time).

till now the connection has been very stable, uptime-wise as well as speed-wise.

Seems like this is also some kind of cache service. I got good speeds for some downloads but for others I am getting normal speed.
Torrent and google services are working fast as usual though.

Currently using 20 Mbps Honesty plan its the most expensive plan they can offer for 19,600 Rs yearly .

So far loving the upload speed they provide , easy to upload video on youtube .
