Excitel launches in Mumbai (400mbps plans available)

[Baby Clasher]

Did you asked them is the 400 Mbps plan available?
What about 400 Mbps plan availability in othe cities like Jaipur?

@TinTinSnowy have you upgraded to 400 Mbps? It's been more than 3 months. How's your experience with Excitel?

@havoc It's not available in my area. Even though the executive on call said it's available, it's not. I can see on the Mumbai map on homepage that it has reached closer to my area. I hope this come soon. Even then I will wonder if I should switch. I had zero downtime since Sept 2020 with JioFiber. Nearly 2 years. Do I want to take a risk with Excitel network to save money? I am not sure about that yet.

You can give it a shot for 167₹ per month 300 Mbps. If your LCO is good you'll feel jio is a turtle .

 

[TinTinSnowy]

Ok. Let it come first to my area.

Trust me browsing would still feel snappier on Jio.

Still people are facing issues with Jio's router. Many users have complained about it's slow speeds and having to reboot it every other day. With excitel's router however eben after 3-4 weeks of continuous usage & without rebooting it works fine. What's the use of the snappiness if all we have to do is reboot the black plastic box daily with 30 Mbps. Better to go for excitel's 200 Mbps for the same price . Although both of them have their own ups and downs.

I use a smart plug to counter this issue , no more issues

Jio and BSNL are the only ISPs here in my location!

That's a great fix for the problem. But I can't understand why the biggest telco in India uses poor quality CPE. I mean they have a lot of money + higher priced plans than other ISP's but still they cheap out on routers and stuff. When I had Jio fiber last year the router which was provided to me had poor range. My current excitel router has a lot more range. Although now I have AP's around. Also for me personally using a smart plug for router isn't a smart idea because I only have 1 main ISP. If the main router goes offline then everything will go offline. Also I never had to think about reboot because it automatically does itself after a certain amount of time or packets sent/recieved. For me it is around 25-30 days. I just can't understand what's the point of selling those poor routers if all they think is we customers are going to reboot it everyday. I remember how once I bent the fiber cable when I had Jio Fiber and it started blinking red light continuously for hours. Jio guys didn't had any idea. Finally after few hours it automatically came back. Anyways I hope they start providing good routers with good chipset and board. The current black one is very weak in terms of range and reliability. Although best for 30 Mbps plan as my friends use it for .
