Slow download speeds on 1gbps plan

I guess they don't have multi gig backend at most places. Never anticipated that much demand. Typical of airtel. While jio has min 10gig at most points.
 
I opted for 1gbps plan earlier also 3 times and it was activated as my area supports it. Don’t know what is the issue now
 
The problem is just that GPON is saturated and simply isn't enough for "gigabit"
They need XGS-PON for that.
On areas with less "heavy users" gigabit over GPON will work just fine
 
GPON OLT is not the limitation, Airtel's BNGs are less and a lot of users on one single BNG. Causing slow speeds during the daytime. I was on 300Mbps plan for 6 months but was getting only 150-250Mbps down during the day time, shifted to 40Mbps after complaining multiple times.

My suggestion to Airtel would be to avoid BNG saturation, they should increase the number of BNGs and shift users equally, but I really doubt airtel is going to do spend that much on Broadband.

Airtel uses TJ-1600-2 Gateway by Tejas Networks and atleast in my location, it is the bottleneck.
 
TJ1600-2 specs
Platform Capacity
  • DWDM Mode: upto 1.2Tbps
  • OTN Mode : upto 400Gbps

1.2Tbps for whole Uttar Pradesh is less.
 
Oh. Multiple BNGs in Mumbai right? Mumbai has high demand of bandwidth so yeah, more capacity is justified.
 
Hmm didn't know they used Tejas BNGs too..
I am on Juniper BNG.
I agree that airtel's architecture is horrible and they need more "local" BNGs.
however I don't think they are a bottleneck in case of bandwidth?
So I thought it must be GPON saturation
