Hi,
I am planning to get a new Internet connection in Delhi and I have narrowed my choices down to Excitel and Nextra. Can you answer these questions related to Excitel:
1) The plans seem too good to be true, 50 Mbps for only Rs. 700, and it appears that they likely are. In a series of excellent reviews by blogger Yogesh Sarkar he says that the claimed speeds are only available for Excitel's peering partners such as Hotstar, Google, Youtube, Netflix, etc. while when connecting to to other networks and servers such as the ones located in USA the speed only goes upto 20Mbps. While even 20Mbps is impressive what has me worried is this screenshot of a download in one of the reviews:
As you can see the download speed is only topping in KB/s, far from the claimed speeds. Is it true that the speeds go down this drastically or do they stay in the 20Mbps range?
2) I have heard from many people that they face multiple disconnections with Excitel and it takes long hours to get them fixed. Have you faced similar disconnections and how frequently? How do you get these resolved fast?
I go to know about Excitel while searching online and Nextra has plastered multiple posters around my locality. I am not sure about Nextra's service if you can tell me something about them that would be great.
What I am looking for is a fairly stable ISP with low disconnections and speeds upto 10Mbps. Please help me in this regard.
Thank You
