High pings on Airtel Xstream Broadband?

When I click on share, nothing happens. The dialog box just closes.

Weird, try a different browser. When I click Share it takes me to the snapshot page

Here are my pings:
COD:MW
Valorant
PUBG
Battlefield 5
Rainbow Six

Europe and North America are particularly bad with Asian servers being just okay. The disappointment comes more from the fact that Airtel is regarded the best for online gaming and under delivers. If this was any other ISP I wouldn't have been complaining to this extent I think.

Weird that you are getting 20-30ms higher pings on American servers. I'm also on Airtel backbone for intl traffic. Looks like Airtel Broadband may have slightly different different routing.

Just tested some pings on Tata Sky and to my surprise their routing has improved substantially. I am getting sub 65 ms pings to Singapore on various games which confirms my theory that geographical distance was not the cause of high pings earlier. Screenshots below along with ping time to Singapore:
Rainbow Six 64 ms
Valorant No Singapore server
Fortnite 63 ms
PUBG 62 ms
Battlefield 64 ms
CSGO 64 ms

Too bad my Tata Sky subscription will get over in 3 days and have already paid advance amount for 6 months to Airtel.

@ravenous24 Too bad you paid money to Airtel, Tata looks like the best. These pings are very very difficult to beat even after airtel fixes their problems. I'm sticking to jio for a couple of months more after seeing pings here.

A new speedtest server from Tata Sky has also popped up in Jaipur giving 2 ms pings so maybe they have changed the routing from Mumbai to Chennai directly.

So apparently Airtel is providing much better pings after midnight since 1 November. These are my ping tests along with the Singapore pings in brackets.
Fortnite (62 ms)
PUBG (64 ms)
Rainbow 6 (64 ms)
Overwatch (64 ms)
Battlefield 5 (64 ms)

These pings revert to 70 ms plus pings during the day. Even the speed fluctuates quite a bit after midnight.

@ravenous24 I also noticed ping improvements.Few days ago i got this new ip in 27.xx.xx.xx rang. My ping used to be 85-90ms in Singapore but now its 68-75ms. Tho i haven't tested it in night.

I only play Battlefield 3 so there my ping dropped at least 20-50ms on different servers. I hope its not temporary

 

[ravenous24]

Yes I am also on the newer 27.xx.xx.xx range. Speedtest.net does not recognize it as Airtel.
