Hi! Speeds on Excitel Broadband are pathetic from morning till mid-night. It starts to have bad speeds around 8 AM and continues to be bad until 1 AM. So the whole day, Excitel is struggling to have speeds. Some locations/servers are so bad that they don't go more than 1 Mbps in speed including Amazon Web Services, Hotstar, DigitalOcean.
Some people have also complaint of poor Netflix and other streaming website not able to stream properly on Excitel.
I have done detailed analysis in this whole thread and below are the mentioned servers where speeds are bad when the problem occurs. (These are bunch of servers, I have tested 10-15 servers at most and out of which these are facing the issues).
OTHER CUSTOMERS FACING THIS ISSUE
* All the timings are approximate, can be 1 hour less or more.
Right now, maximum of the Speedtest.net Node in Mumbai for example: Jio Mumbai (not Navi Mumbai), Airtel Broadband have only speed of 1Mbps (Up and Down)
Proof of Airtel Broadband Mumbai:
Proof of Jio Mumbai:
(Speed is so poor that Upload couldn't happen)
Are you also facing same issue?
UPDATE #2: Speeds are back to ashes (shit) and everything is slow now for me and other Excitel Customers also in other areas.
UPDATE #1: This is the first time, I am sure that Excitel's Peering and Routing is messed up since it's happening with multiple people at multiple locations throughout Delhi (East, West and even Gurgaon).
PROBLEM NOTICED: 9 May 2019, 1 PM ------- PROBLEM FIXED: NOT YET (Excitel is unaware of this issue)
CAUSE OF PROBLEM: EXCITEL ITSELF (LCO is not the reason of this problem)

UPDATE #2: Speeds are back to ashes (shit) and everything is slow now for me and other Excitel Customers also in other areas.
As I said, Speeds will go into the Ashes. It's happening now.
Time: 11:08 AM
Digital Ocean:
In some hours, Speedtest.net and Digital Ocean will show more speed drops.
UPDATE #1: This is the first time, I am sure that Excitel's Peering and Routing is messed up since it's happening with multiple people at multiple locations throughout Delhi (East, West and even Gurgaon).

You can clearly see, where at mid-night even the SINGLE are working awesome, at the morning, noon and evening.. Multi is failing to provide the speeds for not just me but a lot of customers (living in different areas) of Excitel.
I hope I have provided enough of proof that. Something's wrong with the Excitel itself. And tomorrow it will again go back to ashes.
Speeds on most of the servers are back including Digital Ocean.
Digital Ocean:
Excitel to ACT Fibernet (Single):
Excitel to MNR (Single):
Excitel to Jio Mumbai (Single):
Excitel to Excitel (Single):

Note for Excitel Fellow Users: If you're using Excitel, please do the Digital Ocean Speed Test in the noon.
Anything around early morning / late night is useless since I just asked 2-3 friends of mine and they sent me screenshots.
They are also getting 1-5 Mbps speed only on Digital Ocean.
Secondly, they are facing the issue with multiple servers too such as Jio Mumbai, Geocity, Gigatel (randomly).
Sometimes MNR is full 100% bandwidth, sometimes it's messed up.
According to me, it's a issue of Excitel's backend (not just local area, but whole Delhi).
Possible Causes:
1. Network Congestion because of over-selling. (Happened with Hathway last year)
2. Peering / Routing Issues.
3. VSNL is fucked up.
4. Extreme-IX is fucked up.
I was shocked to see that Excitel to Extreme-IX speedtest is poor too.
All of these friends of mine lives in Delhi-NRC (East, West, Gurgaon).
Over that, @JB700 is using some other ISP but that ISP is somewhat inspired or reselling Excitel's Bandwidth only (maybe JV) and facing the same footprint and behavior as I am.
I have asked @GUNNYJEE to submit the Digital Ocean Test done in Noon so that it can rule out. Since the tests he published didn't include Digital Ocean.
Right now, the routing / connectivity of Excitel is so bad that I was trying to make Zomato Payment using Axis Bank Credit Card (Paytm as Payment Gateway Partner) and SBI Credit Card as (SBI's own Payment Gateway) and none of them were loading.
I had to shift to Airtel and it happened instantly.
@philip marlowe
To back my every claim here, Airtel Broadband is working as fine as it should for every mentioned speedtest node and Digital Ocean. It's surely an issue within the Excitel only. (Airtel doesn't even have peering with anyone)
People with Netflix were complaining the same. (Again, peering is involved)
P.S.: Are we already seeing Jio effect?
