Excitel Broadband User Experience in Gurgaon

Did have a frequent disconnection issue few hours ago, but no packet loss issues till now.

But speeds are really bad, I have my pi do a simple speed test every hour, 24x7 and log it. Very inconsistent speeds, even at off peak hours.

At Delhi.
 
Sorry for of topic, how would you compare edge router vs usg for basic pppoe routing, for use with excitel?
 
i have no idea what usg is lol. i do have the erx and i recently migrated it to openwrt because failover was very slow on the native firmware.

and recently fucked up the upgrade from previous generation firmware to new one which required opening the device and using serial cable to reset the device. since i was not very comfortable with it, shipped it to a friend who did it for me. and today i configured it back. hence the issues i was facing today.

on openwrt, erx works very well. the way it is configured for me right now, failover works very well. less than 5 seconds. also installed NextDNS on it which means ad blocking is now enabled on router level.
 
I meant the edge router vs unifi security gateway. Usg is more like a firewall, but has pppoe router function as well. So was wondering which is better.
 
So anyone else got packet loss problem on Excitel right now or is it a local problem in my area :D
