I was able find a screenshot of my old stats. I live 300 - 400 meters away from the exchange and the wiring was pretty old, atleast a decade give or take so I had to get it changed.

I'm from Chennai. My current plan is 40 Mbps and FUP is 60GB. Rental is Rs. 799 plus taxes including a Rs. 200 discount from retention dept.
 
Okay. this 40 MBPS 60 GB is a Chennai based plan or some hidden plan available for Delhi as well?

Also, Your Wiring from Exchange to DP or DP to Home is decade old?

I live around 1-1.5 Kms away from the exchange. I am not sure if VDSL 40 MBPS would run perfect without down.

By the way your VDSL screenshot shows your rate is 100 MBPS...Why don't you opt for 100 mbps?
 
I guess its only available in Chennai as they are matching ACT's offering. Wiring from DP to my home was changed. They also started to digup old underground copper cables and replacing it with fiber to compete with ftth players.

IDK man they are only offering upto 40 Mbps on VDSL. Anything more than that are offered only over FTTH. Besides only few customers living closer to the exchange will be able to avail higher speeds so they might offer it once the UG cables have been replaced with fiber.
 
@manojrk Well I don't suspect any underground work going on in our area except of Delhi Jal Board (Water Dept.).

So backend wiring is old only according to me.

But my wiring from DP to my home will be new since I am going to take new connection.
 
@Adidam My stats are almost identical to the ones posted by @manojrk except that I see more errors probably because of old wiring but since the connection is stable and speed is consistent i am not bothered. Like someone else suggested, go for vfiber as it won't cost you anything and if you face issues you can always rollback to ADSL2 since the new modem is backward compatible.
 
@waterloo_sunset, @manojrk and @igloo I have filled the form for the new connection of VDSL 1099 Plan which is 40 MBPS and 50 GB FUP.

One thing I need your help and advice with is that my SNR drops a lot sometimes.

Like 5.x 6.x 3.x 1.x

Although my lights for the router are stable, landline is having clear voice, wire-line is 1 year old hardly.

Sometimes SNR reaches 10 also but then it compensate with the Downstream Maxrate.

If maxrate goes down, SNR improves sometimes (very rare).

Not sure but these metrices are not pretty stable. :/

Check old stats of 3 hours back:

I don't think you would have to worry about that. It used to change constantly for me as well and on VDSL the max rate varies from 95 Mbps to 115 Mbps nevertheless the connection was stable all the time.
 
Which modem have you guys received from the Airtel for your VDSL Upgradation/Connection?

If you could tell the model number and color of it?

Also, What you guys are doing to improve the errors?
 
Can we buy our own wire for Blue Box to DP to Modem for better quality of service?
