Mine said he's already on fiber. I am inclined to believe him since I get consistently good speeds.

Another proof that my connection is absolute shite these days.

@Sidharth P I already have a PIA subscription, don't have problems with browsing because I've configured MSS clamping on my router, it's just that downloads choke every now and then. Now it's fine but it slows to a crawl on weekends.

Another issue is I can't play any vimeo videos on 720p or higher, they just won't play and even on auto they stutter a lot. It seems this connection doesn't play nice with fastly CDN which vimeo uses to deliver their content.

So it's now a ritual, every weekends internet won't work at all however is able to get an IP from their switch. Facing the same issue as @john_dud
LCO won't recognize the issue at all. I think I'll be switching back to ACT after all. Sorry Excitel had enough of your usual shit.
The thing is once I raise a ticket on their portal, shitheads close the ticket once the connection starts working the next day. Was promised fiber soon™ but nope.

Thank god I decided against switching to Excitel. Even though I get abysmal upload speeds on Siticable (1mbps on a 50mbps connection), reliability any day trumps speeds.
 
So my LCO says they'll be upgrading all their switches to gigabit and it'll resolve all speed related issues which I doubt because I suspect they don't have enough uplink bandwidth and they didn't provide a deadline for implementing this change. I'm waiting for ACT to start providing connections in my colony, they've already started offering services in my locality.
