Excitel Broadband User Experience in Gurgaon

Paying again. Why?

Don't know how excitel operates. If the money goes purely to LCO, maybe I would not need to pay again. If money is passed from excitel to lco, then there would be a problem. Unless my local guy compensates for existing wiring and refunds me the money.

they have given me a Syrotech ont. do i need to check if it has gigabit ports? i mean it is crossing 100mbps in speed tests

 

[igloo]

yh cant cross 95 on FE.

 

[Sushubh]

alright. so i assume they gave me a dumb ont which does not require any software update or anything?

If no wifi indicator then sure it is.

 

[Sushubh]

yeah this is better than getting a locked piece of shit everyone (jio, airtel and excitel) is giving

@Sushubh how much did you pay for fiber upgrade? Any extra wiring and charges for it?

 

[igloo]

Excitel wired ont is configured to bridge mode. I havn't seen its admin page in last 10months.
excitel Wifi one is very cheap , addtional ssid broadcast doesn't make it a bad deal.
How much you paid for ont n fiber installation?

 

[Sushubh]

1800 bucks. the guy left enough extra wire that i wouldn't need to get entire wiring redone if some truck snaps the cable hanging over the road. there was also some issue with the splicing. it took a lot of time. guy said high power on the pole was the reason. ended up with a splicing that had some loss? at home their device showed value of around 19 something. he said for 100mbps plan, it should be more than fine and much better than ethernet.

btw. it's not official excitel fiber. i am still on ethernet plans.
