Help: Connection to certain EU IPs frequently becomes slow

[Lolita_Magnum]

Issue does not seem local; will you be able to share a reverse trace from the server and also one from you broadband.?

 

[wheatbread]

This is because of Jio's very aggressive timeout and throttling. Nothing customers can do about it.

 

[MeanMachine]

Unfortunately I don't have any access to the server myself. Trying to ask for a reverse trace, but no luck

I had to leave town for a short while, will post You Broadband trace as soon as I get back...

Would there still be a way for me to fix it? I tried to look into dual WAN router as an option. But it seems those devices can only detect complete failure of one WAN before switching over... so it might not work in my case

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

There are enterprise options like SD-WAN; but that will cost you a heavy penny.

This is how it looks when even You Broadband starts acting up

Would Airtel Xstream fiber or Tata Play fiber be better in this regard?

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

You could try.. or maybe ask other employees if they also experience similar issues... There will not be much help if the issue is on the server side.

 

[MeanMachine]

The issue doesn't seem to be on the server side. A couple of other people from other countries I have checked with do not face these issues...

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

Based on the Routing table; Airtel and Tata are directly connected to AS9002; with airtel having more precedence as it also has more interconnect points over IX.
If your use case for connecting to these EU servers is "real-time applications", then airtel will be the way to go.
For Maharashtra, both Airtel and Tata are good options to consider for connectivity.

 

[MeanMachine]

If "timeout and throttling" is involved as suggested by @wheatbread, would there be similar issues with Airtel as well?

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

I do not relate to the "timeout and throttling" experience, shared by wheatbread.
There are some instances of Jio resetting Port Allocation aggressively at every fixed period of time but that is only true for Jiofiber customers and is not related to the "slowness" issue shared by you.
Finally, Hathway uses the "enterprise segment of Jio" for its backhaul.
