How much ping and reliability are you getting from Alliance ?

[Enix]

I am planning to opt for Alliance Broadband 160 Mbps Fiber connection. Is the broadband reliable for gaming and what kind of pings do you get to European, Asian and Indian servers ? What are the downtimes and are there much issues with packet loss ?

Alliance will revise after some time I believe. Maybe during Puja or sooner.

I am getting this result when testing to same server. Any reasoning ?

Don't really know brother. Could be routing issue at your end or local LCO issue.

I've been getting 10Mbps and my plan is 60Mbps Starter. Alliance and LCO, both are suggesting to get fiber connection and that should take care of the problem. What are the chances that Alliance is capping my speed to 10Mbps download-upload? According to them, lines are getting old and thus the issue with instability. But I'm sure that's not the issue here. Lines might get old, lose full potential but 10Mbps from 60Mbps overnight? Is that possible? I think they're forcing people into fiber and the CC also told me to upgrade as CAT 5e is old tech and they want their users to upgrade.

yeah they are forcing.... upgrade to fiber..

I have fiber. Service is better than CAT5.

Jio just came out with 30Mbps unlimited @399

How would you compare Alliance with Jio?

Its a matter of time alliance will also introduce 399 plan.. they already have 400 plan in ROI circle.

Jio will be better for overall stability and quality of the network. Alliance will match them or give better plans depending on how many subscribers they lose. Alliance fiber is stable overall but Jio is just better with less bandwidth problems and better routing atleast for now.

Jio doesn't have the LCO problem, unlike Alliance. So, they will have better service.

I heard that Jio users get Strict NAT type and Jio Support team doesnt know much about ping, packet loss, NAT, etc. You might or might not be so lucky to get the contact details of a person in Jio who actually knows technical stuff. And the upload speed is limited to 10 % of your download speed.
