Excitel Broadband Slowdown During Evening/Weekends

[Sushubh]

Excitel does manage to cater to 90% of their audience with peered services alone. I torrent through VPN and I get reasonable speeds on well seeded torrents.

 

[Sushubh]

But yeah... Poorly seeded torrents download fine on Airtel but remain stuck at 0kbps on Excitel so there's that.

So they say they have peering tie up with Netflix.

Netflix was not loading for me at that time. Google services were working reasonably fine. Facebook does not load half the time on Excitel for me in any case at any time.

well it is working fine for me at the moment too. probably has been happening during evening for the last two days. so would be monitoring my connection between 6-9pm period.

Because of shitcitel's shenanigans I have setup a smokeping server on my Rapsberry, will be continuously monitoring the link now and graphing latency alongwith packet loss.

Let me set it up on my Pi too

but then my pi is constantly on VPN so it would not be much accurate.

DNS failure at my end.
