A thread on BSNL Uptime

[humblefool]

I have been running a RIPE ATLAS software [1] probe on my home server since 29th June. I am amazed to see the uptime of the BSNL connection. Even though BSNL has a bad reputation but when it works it just works unless someone has cut the wire while digging roads. I want to believe that BSNL has good engineers who work hard. I want to see BSNL succeed and hope one day it will.

it's just connection uptime it doesn't proves how much we pay for plan and how much speed we mostly receive

@ps111193 Interesting Take. Working on a script to log speed. FYI currently on 50mbps 600GB plan and I do speed check daily. Consistently have got full speed this month. Not sure if this is a fluke.

most of time i get download between 10-20Mbps and upload is above 50Mbps

You can try running speedtest-cli against a local Vs far off server every hour and try to export output within some form like CSV. Then by the end of the month you can plot the speed.

@humblefool Checkout frdmn/docker-speedtest-grafana, it runs speed test (uses speedtest-cli) against a local server selected based on ping and visualizes in a Grafana dashboard. The script can be customized to run speed tests against a particular server or multiple servers.

Wow, did not hear of that before. Seems really cool.

@Anurag Bhatia Thank you. I wasn't aware you were active on this forum. Actually you helped me with the details of setting up RIPE on Twitter.

@Gokul Kannan Installing it today night. This would actually provide a lot of information. What interval would you suggest?

Please let me know what servers I should run speed tests to apart from Local Indian servers.
