Airtel 4G prices slashed by 35-50%

[vishalrao]

Indoor CPE. Let me try YT 4K (never tried before) and also checking to tower if possible and post here shortly...

I get 20-30 mbps in normal downloads in some places like Linux/Windows software updates, but some websites are slow like 2-10 mbps I guess it depends also on the target website capacity/limits.

Yup, YT 4K videos (tried a couple) seem to be streaming fine without buffering when I choose the 4K quality - note though I only have a 1200p Full-HD monitor

Not sure what you meant by "do they shave data" ? Yes the data gets deducted from my FUP limit on YT etc.

Will now try to check that tower ping/traceroute thing you mentioned, if that is possible even...

Tower seems to be dropping the trace packets:

Yeh they are not showing tower ip and packet response of airtel tower. If your cpe is placed well then it would be less then 10ms.
Here is mine

If i were on fiber then it would be 1ms constant. Since its wireless so its average is 4ms - 5ms

Do you get dynamic or static ip on airtel cpe?

I so wish they reduce tarrifs for postpaid plans for 4g at home as I am stuck with max 2mbps speed on their wired broadband and paying 8k for 160gb just seems too much.

It's a NAT-ed internal/external IP combo, both seem dynamic. Internal IP I get on the device is 100.xxxx while external IP visible to outside world is 106.xxxx

So sadly I cannot SSH or remote desktop to any of my home computers for remotely troubleshooting/diagnosing if required.

You can use dynamic dns service like noip.com for this purpose. Provided you have port forwarding on CPE

The way I see it: Just some temporary double data offer. Says 5 + 5gb, this may not be permanent
