Anyone on Asianet Broadband Fiber here?

[Ameen]

Thank you so much for helping! @varkey @philip @vu3knb @Sammy @Ameen

Bsnl plans are pricey when compared to asianet. I'll be going from 50up/200down to 100up/100down and 250gb less data.

No matter, as long I have peace of mind lol.

Heard keralavision is bit bit stable right now. You could try their plans..

After another site visit from a different engineer, they've given me an ip from a different subnet and the issue seems to have been resolved.

A few issues here and there but most of the time its 15ms rtt to Google DNS. 2 ms jitter.

It's almost like I have a different connection now.

@steam Heyy can u provide some ping test along with with traceroutes to google ,Amazon, netflix sites if u can. It would be nice to know it

 

[steam]

It's far from fixed. But the quality during peak hours has gone up. Was sort of erratic from 9 to 11 though. Some issues still there.

@philip here are the tests you wanted. Not sure about what's happening with netflix though.

Edit. Bonus latency test

@steam Seems like they're using VSNL Kochi for international transit which is awesome! Im curious to know international ping times.
Can you do a traceroute to if possible:
AWS Mumbai - 13.232.0.253
AWS SGP - 46.137.255.254
Valve DXB - dxb.valve.net
Linode UK -speedtest.london.linode.com
DO NYC- speedtest-nyc1.digitalocean.com
DO Frankfurt - speedtest-fra1.digitalocean.com

Wow its way better pings than bsnl . My pings to google and all are in the range of 29-30ms. 8.8.8.8 is a whopping 40ms for me..What about the speeds are u having speed issues?. As for netflix the site is blocking icmp requests i think.

@philip Wow! Practically a new connection then. I'm still calling them to iron out the minor issues. The connection seems to be erratic at the same time everyday. frustrating, but at least i know when to get off it.

@Sammy Here are the results you wanted.

@steam that's hands down the best ping times I've seen from an ISP in Kerala! I'd even say it would give Airtel a run for their money if they came full scale here. All this time I've been judging Asianet on their absolute dogshit DOCSIS network

@Sammy 3 weeks worth of calls to customer care though. 4 different technicians. They still default to their 'other' connection for new users.

Then again, latency does not affect Netflix/YouTube like it does other applications. Downloads also work fine.

My brother plays valorant(or Cs go) and I've never seen him so happy lmao

As for me, no voice drops in meetings. No more robotic sounds. No more getting kicked out because of 'network problems'.

 

[Sammy]

@steam true, but better to have the stuff like good latency, speeds, public ipv4, etc. that are basically owed to the customer than not have it.
