Excitel Broadband Issues

Getting high pings to most of servers today. London is 200 ms, singapore 120 ms , usa 350 ms on Excitel.

Jio fiber has normal ping
 
anyone using excitel check why the traceroute for singapore ip shows request going to mumbai -> france -> paris -> singapore ?

its aws singapore region ip.

Also pings to singapore are 100-120 ms , earlier they were like 50-60 ms from HYD

The article talks about what ISPs must do during the incident; however, it does not talk about why it happened in the first place.
ISPs provide ultra-cheap locked-down ONUs with default credentials. They always come with poor security and are never patched for vulnerabilities.
Plus, it sucks that these ISPs do not even allow enthusiasts to use their own device easily.
Most importantly, these ISPs don't even do source address validation, which means anyone can spoof themselves to be any IP.
 
That's a good diplomatic answer to say to someone who has no idea how the backend works... Not going into detail, but that's not true.
Even with BYOD, you are not really changing anything; in fact, you have to configure even less. The only drawback might be training.

So most users prefer free stuff even if it's a piece of garbage? ISP routers were not a thing before, people still had internet.
