Reliance JioFiber vs BSNL Bharat Fiber FTTH

[anubhav11]

You can use plex internally. But you can't access it from outside your network in CG-NAT.

@anand777 There is no issue in streaming from a plex server hosted in Europe or elsewhere.

Jio should be the last resort.//

Why? Would you care to explain, please?

Jio Fiber experience is varied across India just like any other ISP. BSNL is amazing in some states/cities but not so in others. Right now Jio's commercial plans aren't good as they provide low FUP for the price (ignore the extra data provided now as they are temporary). If your are a data monger then "199 plan" is the only good deal as it provides high FUP of 1000 GB @100Mbps for 7 days. (they say it's introductory so no clue about that).
If you think BSNL is doing a fine enough job I say stick with it else your always encouraged to explore. Used to be a BSNL user for many years but switched to Jio a while back and it has been good with some caveat. If your a PC/console online gamer there have been issues with match joining/unstable pings. International routing has improved but there's always room for improvement. There are also more OTT platforms and cloud gaming services coming in the near future. If you find this bundled "Jio Fiber package" promising, go for it.

Why not get two BSNL connections if you have absolute need of higher FUP.

He doesn't want to pay for next higher plan and you want him to get two plans!
I think OP should try implementing ipv6 in his router as most of ipv6 data is unmetered in Bsnl.

 

[anand777]

@igloo Actually, I would've paid for a higher plan if one truly existed. Currently, BSNL offers a plan.with only 33GB/day. We can't even download a full game with that kind of data. Their plans are truly pathetic. Having two connections seems like a hassle.

@anand777 having two connections is not hassle.Just get new connection without buying new ONT.Just change to 2nd connection after exhausting the 1st or setup VLAN based separation on OPENWRT supported router.
@varkey seems to have great experience with multiple connection over same cable and just use one ONT .

 

[varkey]

Yeah if its something like OpenWRT, you could perhaps schedule a job that runs daily that swaps the creds and reconnects. You wouldn't need to get new cabling or ONT etc. Basically have it provisioned from BSNL, and alternate the credentials used daily.

With the 1277 plan x2, you get 1500 GB at 100 Mbps.

Having said that, if you have Jio as an option, and don't really mind its cons, then Jio might be cheaper and faster at that price point.

@varkey no ipv6 for him?

 

[varkey]

Yep, if you have IPv6 available you'd end up with half the data utilisation, as IPv6 traffic is unmetered as of now. So check if IPv6 is available for you.
