Ignore the service is expired message. My internet still works fine. Not sure why it's there.
 
Possible. You are getting consistent speed/latency throughout the day?

I am on normal ethernet. Maybe someone on fiber in Delhi can confirm if it's a known Delhi wide issue or only on ethernet.
 

My lco was having issues today with low speeds but latency was great as usual.
Right now, they are back to normal
It's a 25mbps connection so nothing special but what i like about them is the A+ ping times.

Why are they facing issues as they have massive capacity as stated in peeringdb .Also they have their own cable landing station. isn't it? Also they have less users pan india

Oh I wouldn't really know. I am not in Bangalore right now. I was just curious about the the notification on the portal. :P

Anyway in BSNL world, I setup a wireguard server on a GCP VM (Singapore) and configured OpenWRT to create a WG interface and route all traffic through it. Surprisingly, my tiny OpenWRT router is able to handle the load just fine with full speeds upto 50 Mbps with no issues.

I might just do that temporarily with a tiny GCP VM and route all my traffic through that. 🎉 I was under the impression that my Mi Router 3G would not be able to handle the load.
