I am not sure if you guys know that Reliance owns FLAG which is one of the largest provider of internet backbones on this planet. MTNL probably does not have their own international gateways so they have to use one of the other service providers.

Yes. Flag routing and latency is pretty good. Much better than airtel, just not as good as tata comm!

if i remembr u were using reliance boradband. did u have frequent disconnections? what was the uptime?

Had issues for a month when the local gateway power backup blew up. Otherwise quite stable.

Right now the local gateway is actually housed in the premises of local branch of Bharatiya Mahila Bank. the problem happened when the bank construction work was going on. Now that the branch is operational, the power backup is fixed and there are little to no downtimes. The disconnection while the network is not being used is annoying though. Especially since the fucking stupid login page does not load all the time and I cannot run the python script I use on my desktop on my mobile (or dad's chromebook).
