Packet Loss and Slow Speed Problems on Airtel Broadband

[Sushubh]

my net has just gone super awful!

 

[Kanou]

mine too, speeds dropped to about 256kbps

 

[Tekky]

speeds are so ****ing slow here in south delhi !

I am getting 500+ ping on 90 % of the european servers since 1 week and I am getting really bad lag in games like counter strike. I heard that airtel is having dns issues since few days but their customer care doesn't care about anything except proper speed. So my question is are they going to solve this problem?

BSNL having similar issues, all this started with the free double bandwidth offer they have for this month. Hopefully next month will bring some sanity.

airtel is routing europe traffic via singapore ,tokyo, USA using tata comm (teleglobe) cables, so high pings are expected.

I expect that this actually depends entirely on where your traffic is going...

@mgcarley, everything i see is going via sg route. all these hosts used to give around 200ms avg before the cable fault

 

[mgcarley]

To those locations, yes, it is taking the long way around. That being said, 400/420/450ms isn't awful to london/paris/munich respectively, considering it's 3x the distance on that route.The only one I'm having trouble with is where PCCW and Deutsche Telekom peer. DT must have presence in HKG, but then where does the cabling go? It seems to hop straight through the US without jumping on to any of their provider networks - how typically German and efficient

 

[AgentX]

400/420/450ms isn't awful...I'm getting 900
