IPv6 being issued by BSNL Broadband!

[Ameen]

It was yesterday when connection dropped I asked for @abbyck help. That's when he told me there is ipv6 enabled on my connection. Do please and check and report from your routers..

Using bsnl ftth in kerala circle.

Nope i a m still in 61 series ip on Bsnl Ftth. I am also from kerala circle. Is there any improvements on having an ipv6 on the customer side?

 

[Ameen]

I haven't noticed any specific improvements over speed or latency.
Tbh I'm not sure if it's the problem with the bsnl side or due to this ipv6 deployment, my speed do fluctuate alot.

IPv6 increases latency and reduces speed to some extend because not every server has IPv6 and the nearest IPv6 enabled server may be far from a nearest IPv4 only server. This is a classic problem with IPv6 deployment.

We discussed this issue a while ago for another ISP. Discussion is available here... How do I setup router to prefer IPv4 over IPv6 LAN Wide on RouterOS? | Internet (General Discussions)

@Ameen I'm from Kerala and I tried enabling it on wan by selecting ipv4/ipv6... But no dice... I only get an ipv4 address. It could be though my LCO equipment doesn't support it. Or maybe my settings weren't correct. Anyways am happy that BSNL is finally being overhauled and modernized...

One of the bsnl technician is trying to configure voice..

@eriek_halenx its best that you don't have it. Iam having speed issues and ping issues over here.

 

[Ameen]

@pothi Iam having the same problem as @JB700 described Netflix
I guess I should do it too...

 

[Ameen]

Having issues while downloading episodes on Netflix and its kinda being blocked or slowed down or the speed keeps fluctuating

@Ameen , Ive also been having problems with Netflix streaming, mainly since last 2-3 months. Sometimes it drops from 4k to hd. Very seldom to 720p, when it becomes noticeably bad. Testing netflix (using its app's test network option) shows only 30 mbps. It was earlier close to 100. Perhaps you could check this option also.

The same device, using same network is able to steam Amazon prime at 4k.
