Excitel Broadband is now allowing some DNS servers including Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and OpenDNS

i assume airtel has good connectivity with cloudflare.

So the way these codes work is that they are airport locations. So NRT is Narita international airport. Therefore the server is somewhere near narita, japan.

CloudFlare isn't peered on Excitel afaik. Traceroutes go through TATA to Singapore. Not sure why they are allowing CF.

No longer. Peered nowadays. All traffic to cf goes through extreme ix directly.

India CDN Colo singapore Always

Hi, I am on business plan for about more than a year. I have around 50% of my users from India. From last 6 month I have never seen (nor my users) my sites serving from India Edge Server. (DEL, MAA, BOM). Every time I raise a support request I get one thing only that those Edge location are...

community.cloudflare.com

i guess need to pay to get a local colocation server

Changed back to excitel dns as 1.1.1.1 choked jio wifi calling.

i am facing no issues using NextDNS on my phone but with airtel vowifi. jio sim is now in dad's phone so cannot say about it. his Redmi note 7 does not support vowifi on both airtel and jio.

Changed back to excitel dns as 1.1.1.1 choked jio wifi calling.

Using 1.1.1.1 as private dns over android, and vowifi works fine. May be the bad vowifi from jio was coincident with your dns change

It came the minute i reverted back to excitel dns.
No coincidence there.

@philip marlowe i know this is completely offtopic and not the right place to ask but can you please shed some light on routing to singapore servers?
for over 6 months now, pings to singapore server have been messed up. they are reaching 300ms as opposed to 80ms. i had to buy a VPN subscription on top of excitel recharge just to improve my ping and do my work

Jio’s VoWifi is extremely picky when it comes to DNS servers
