Excitel Delhi 50mbps plan ethernet.
SingTel D/U: 35Mbps/55Mbps
Longdon Gtt D/U: 48Mbps/54Mbps
Tested around 3:20 pm.
 
What sampling frequency do you need?

My speed is varying wildly so I am sampling every 20min.
 
Act provided 300mbps upgrade to its customers and they either limited speeds to their non peered servers or their network is unable to handle it
My friend was complaining his speeds feels too slow now but speedtest still shows 300mbps
I tested a few things and looks like all the non peered servers limit to less than 50 mbps
 
For free-tiers they should have something like sustained demand bracket model

If a person has been constantly using 100mbps over 30 min -->Bump to 175--> sample Over 20 min(again)-->200 -->Sample Over 20-->250

At 300 mbps stage: Start sampling over 10 min, if the 95th percentile usage over 10min fall 275 mbps--> start degrading to 100mbps in similar steps

Not like hey if you can go 300 mbps, then you fire an go 300 mbps

The aim is to reduce constant bandwidth usage of 100mbps/customer and smooth it over as a burst on 300mbps (Rather than hogging their bandwidth over long-time, people will hog on it for a shorter time)

*Assuming mass downloaders are only a few percent of their customer base and others are normal usage people, this will help them identify the mass-downloaders too who unlike other have continuous traffic than bursting traffic and can adjust their QoS accordingly)

My $1 dollar suggestion lol
 


Sadly I get sustained bandwidth of 50-60 mbps right now over 5-5 minutes and theback to sub 256 KBps world :([To INTERNATIONAL Servers]
 
Jio fiber 100 Mbps(199 rs) plan
