Anyone here on Powernet?

some speedtests on 300Mbps plan. Kinda disappointing.

International pings look good though

why straightaway 300mbps plan when u are trying a new isp, just asking.

 

[JB701]

Wanted to try out I guess. My primary isp PNPL is about to expire.

 

[opomiyulen]

I will try one local isp as primary once my excitel expires just to see if there is any real world difference for my use case scenario. Although i will take their minimum speed plan

 

[JB701]

You will likely get full speeds on 30Mbps plans. It seems like Powernet (and most local ISPs) doesn't have enough transit to provide for 300Mbps but they still sell it.

My excitel plan will change to 300mbps from 19th oct. Hopefully it would perform better.

 

[JB701]

It seems that their transit speeds are capped at 175-200Mbps. Can't seem to get above that even with a VPN. I'm thinking of downgrading to a lower plan prolly.

This is with VPN btw (surfshark).

how much you paying for this?

 

[JB701]

1800 a month for "300Mbps". Its a better value than my POS current LCO (PNPL) overcharging me 2500.

Powernet also seems to fare better at intl speeds compared to PNPL.
