BSNL Broadband's new revolutionary (lol) broadband plans with minimum 2mbps speeds (lol)

do not be surprised if bsnl starts periodic restarts of your connection once or twice a day like mtnl.
 
I do not keep track. But the Mi app shows a notification in Chinese which indicates (i have to assume coz the words are in chinese) that I consume around 60GB per week. So I can assume a total of 250GB per month?
 
Of course, I have to deal with crappy connectivity at times. Most of the days it has started getting painful to use during day time because of laggy browsing due to packet loss. Gets better at night. This is something I had to get used to with BSNL but Reliance was fine till a few weeks ago.

Also, it goes down several times a week. And if their local power backup fails, it goes down multiple times every day and I have to keep complaining continuously to get it fixed. It usually takes them two months to fix it.
 
That's really disappointing indeed. Just curious how do you manage/keep up the site with so much connection drops and lags?
 
I really have no need to be online 24x7 to manage the forum. In fact, I doubt anyone else spends his whole day on a forum like this (forums managed by individuals and not companies). I just do not have anything better to do with my time which is why you see me spending all my time here. :think:
 
Well, you don't need to be online at all! Take a vacation.

Make me and warthog moderators and we'll kick everyone's ass on your behalf.

How's that sounds?
 
Yeas..we need warthog..as a moderator..[emoji36]
BTW,I do spend a lot of time in a forum..[emoji14]

by any chance you are using Reliance broadnet wireline? ....if yes, then i think i have solution to your problem. I use to face the same issue till few months back. One day i sat with my wireshark and figured out the problem is not the physical connectivity. it is due to:-

1. length of the cable from Fiber box till my house. :- For this you cannot do much, just make sure if you have any extra wire hanging around, then just cut short. Basically the fiber to ethernet switch they are using is not providing enough power to keep packets alive when resistance increases. (generally on sunny days when temperature is more than 35.) (also if you are under 100 mtr, then should not affect you)
2. Incorrect MTU.:- Hit and try, start with 1492 and keep checking the stability.
3. Wrong DNS pulled up in configuration. :- Make sure you use reliance dns as the primary DNS and you can use secondary as google or any of your choice. The issue is captive portal implementation from reliance side.
4. Also, if you are terminating ethernet on your routers WAN port, make sure you router is not overloaded with number of devices. See in my case, I have around 73 different devices, like bunch of laptops, mobiles tablets and atleast 50+ raspberry pi device connected. I initially connected multiple SOHO routers together and formed a network. it was creating confusion with NAT. So i simplified then it started overloading the end router. Later i switched to distributed network using Cisco 2700, now things are sorted. It might not be this bad in your case, but if you have more than 15 devices all landing on a home grade router, then it starts to overload the NAT.

Also, as a best practice, have your router rebooted atleast once in a day. You can use a script to do so if needed.
