Anyone facing slow speed on International servers??

[deltaechov]

Currently on 100Mbps 750GB plan, for Mumbai Server I am getting around 90Mbps. However issue start when I want to download from the International server, for example, right now I am downloading PyTorch with a max speed of 2MegaBytes instead of ~9MegaBytes. If I do a speed test to Singapore server same thing Download speed is around 20-30Mbps while the upload is going till 86Mbps. Is it just I or everyone is facing this issue?

And can someone suggest good ONT (preferably non-Chinese)
Will BSNL change it for free without any reason(upgrade to gigabit ethernet, maybe)? (it's on rent)

 

[Adithya]

I think you'll be better off buying your own ONT. Sounds like a physical issue. ONT or the fiber cable.

 

[sloj]

Yeah, the issue does seem physical.
@deltaechov So, BSNL handles the config remotely?

Lemme share my traceroutes, I have high latency to my gateway but still I'm getting the promised speeds.

Some firewall on BSNL's network is blocking ICMP and it times out till the 30th hop. (or maybe it's the censorship things, dnsdiag says that's the case).

Visualroute can find it though, those half broken circles are the point where windows tracert times out. (I don't know how to use this thing but yeah)

 

[deltaechov]

Yeah, the issue does seem physical.
@deltaechov So, BSNL handles the config remotely?

Yep, BSNL does everything remotely till the ONT.

 

[sloj]

@Adithya Visualroute doesn't run on my PC. Java issues.

@deltaechov So you have no way of knowing PON info. At least they gave you bridge mode. I wonder if they will let you change ONT to a different one.

 

[Adithya]

Ah yes I remember I do have WinMTR, could've used that.

@deltaechov I think you should get your own ONT, if they do mac binding, you can ask them to add your one to their whitelist. All BSNL offices here allows us to use our own ONT. They don't have any anyway. How much is the rent by the way?

 

[deltaechov]

@Adithya rent is 90Rs + tax. There is no mac binding now, however, ONT binding might be there.

As I said earlier because of the ONT compatibility issue not going that route and it is cheaper to pay 90Rs. If anything happens to ONT they'll just replace it for free. After 36 months(been using FTTH for 3 years now), the rent cost is equal to a brand new ONT(approx 3800Rs).

 

[Adithya]

Maybe you can try to get an ONT from a friend or temporarily from a store for checking if it can connect properly. My WiFi GE FE ONT cost only 2400 btw, since you have a router, you can get those small single lan port ONT. They are even cheaper.

Today, tracert to google.com and 8.8.8.8 is way better(can't get any better), however, speed still is around 50mbps on bsnl speedtest(I won't take speedtest.net into consideration, because it keeps fluctuating). 1.1.1.1 still sucks though for a fiber connection.

Your latency looks much better today. Have you tried downloading a large file?

Straight from ONU diagnose tab. This is the best I get.
