Excitel Broadband Reviews

[Sushubh]

Can we have like a demo

the one thing you can do is to find their users in your locality. someone with your kind of usage so that they can tell you how good the service is in your area. if they are in your own lane, you would get the internet through the same cabling so you should get an idea of real world downtimes.

@Aakash Malhotra i believe can tell you all the shortcomings with excitel. quality of actual service would depend upon your local lco. my lco is pretty good probably because the last mile guy works very hard. he was complaining about his pay when i met him last. he was thinking of moving to siti broadband. so i am guessing service would go down when he leaves. told him to keep me posted. would migrate to siti if he moves to siti lol.

my lco is okay. i mean i get promised speeds in downloading. there are little to no downtimes . the problems that i face are from excitels end and not lco. like packet loss - could be lco's side but its not just me . my friend who lives in lajpat nagar has this same problem. another friend who lives near nehru place had this same problem. different lcos of different region having this same problem? i doubt it. i think its on excitels end.

double nat - no solution to port forwarding , no static ip
video streaming sites bufferings
no speeds on 0 day torrents, you also cant seed back because of all ports being blocked
and when i use the lan wire directly with my pc , internet gets auto disconnected like every 5 mins interval

Most of the problems are around frequent disconnections due to cables sometimes snapping off etc. since they are hanging in the air. You wont get to know these in a demo.

Since Hyderabad has much worse rains than Delhi, I assume the problem would be more pronounced.

My experience has been okay. On an average I get 5-6 hours of downtime a month. But I am sticking with it since my only other option is MTNL

I am happy with the speeds. Even on international servers. But other people have complained about pings so not suitable for multiplayer gaming I guess

how are you getting these speeds on international servers?
apart from singapore my speeds are much worse than yours

Guys, please share on which plans you are....... if other than listed on their website....

Recently, I came to know that they have 30Mbps and 40Mbps plans also.

That might be a little tough,I just moved to Hyderabad like a month ago,but I live in a relatively good area,as in offices like Google,Microsoft are nearby so I'm hoping they would keep their services upto the mark ??
I'm not a gamer,torrenting and a lot of YouTube

It seems they are still having problem on their RCom node. South Delhi is mostly RCom I think..

 

[Aakash Malhotra]

i asked them about these problems on another broadbandforum and got this reply -

they keep saying that the problem is not on their end and that its pretty much impossible to have 0% packet loss connection

 

[r19]

If packet loss is not happening in Excitel server then it's not from the wiring, it's from the provider. But don't know why they're the only one with whom this happens
