Any ubuntu mirror is fine as long as the download speed can max out.

Download Warp by executing the commands provided at https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/. After installation, run:

Code: 
warp-cli register
warp-cli set-license (put the key I shared without bracket)
warp-cli set-custom-endpoint 162.159.193.5:2408

You can then use the following commands to connect and disconnect:

Code: 
warp-cli connect
warp-cli disconnect


Also, disable ipv6 before downloading the file with warp

Well dang! The speed went up from 200 mbps to 600 with warp connected.
 
Yes and yes.

wgot that firefox deb from a few EU mirrors like FR, IT, SE.
 
@Powerful84tiger so what does this mean?

What is and where is the custom endpoint located?

Does it mean Tata is throttling international speed? Or it's inconclusive?
 
I'm very interested in this conversation suddenly! What's the conclusion? Is Tata throttling speeds or is this simply a geolocated DNS IP misrouting?
 
I learned about that endpoint while looking at a Cloudflare community forum post. Usually, Warp connects to the 162.159.192.0/24 IPv4 range, which always gets routed to Europe or Singapore depending on the ISP. Even though my ISP (D-vois/I-ON) peers at exchanges where Cloudflare peers, those IP ranges still get routed to Germany. The 162.159.193.0/24 IP range is used for Cloudflare Zero Trust or Warp Teams (WARP with firewall · Cloudflare Zero Trust docs). However, when I specified 162.159.193.5, it got routed to Mumbai DE-CIX, even though both are anycast IP addresses.

All the download tests I asked you to run were to check if the speeds on Warp with Tata Play Broadband using Tata upstream are good or not. I was planning on taking Tata Play Broadband because, with my current ISP, I am getting packet loss on networks with whom they peer and at exchanges as well, which is an issue while using Warp and many other things.

Initially, looking at other posts of yours in other threads, I was under the impression that Tata Play had good international speeds, as I remember you mentioning in other forum posts that you were getting close to gigabit speeds on a few EU mirrors. But it seems like I was wrong or misread something. I just want to clearly mention that I am not expecting leased line performance on a broadband connection, and I was just normally under the impression looking at your other posts.

I have no idea if Tata Play is throttling speeds or not. While low download speeds from few sites don't show the overall picture, I will just use Warp instead of trying to find another ISP with good download speeds, as with my current ISP, speeds outside the peering network don't exceed 150-200 on a 300mbps plan. The current packet loss issue makes it worse as I can't even use Warp. I have email addresses of L3 NOC and the NOC head, so solving the packet loss issue shouldn't be hard.

Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing the results and traceroutes. If I-ON doesn't solve the packet loss issue, then I will switch to Tata Play.
 
It's not throttle, Tata just like any broadband provider has fixed amount of bandwidth for broadband users, and it is shared among everyone.

Your local transit and your international transit is not the same.
Even though, you might see the same hops and IP, the way the traffic is processed and tagged is way different.

Unlike that, what Cloudflare buys is a premium bandwidth, which is meant to be 1:1 at all times. These connections are usually connected to the providers' infrastructure at core level and hence is usually insusceptible to jams.

162.159.192.0/24 gets routed internationally because Cloudflare itself is not really advertising this subnet locally.
I am forcing this route towards Cloudflare (direct peering) and it still re-routes internally.

Pune users of Tata Play Fiber

Just for reference/comparison I was getting around 30 MBps download from fr.archive.ubuntu.com using single connection (wget etc) and my speedtest.net to London server of Swish Fiber I was getting around 500-600 mbps on my 1gbit plan. Currently getting only 3 MBps and under 100 mbps respectively.

@Powerful84tiger yeah I'm not sure what was going on, in the post link I mentioned I was getting 30 MBps off ubuntu FR mirror but some other posts around the same time I mentioned 500 mbps. All back around July last year which is also around the time I started static IP and (maybe) got a new load balancer router.

If I find some time I'll try to look into why I'm not getting 500 mbps anymore, maybe try connect my PC direct to the tata.
