Hello people! I'm new to this forum. I'm using airtel broadband from past 8 years. Never faced such issue.
I live in Chennai and recently switched to Airtel V-Fiber as Airtel customer service suggested.
Whenever I download something from any website that does not have their servers in Chennai, my internet speed crawls down to 80KBps sometimes even 20KBps. And this is not just for one particular server, it is with all the servers outside my city. Google's services work fine because they have CDNs all over the world (One in Chennai too).
SpeedTest.net shows the same results. Can you guys please check this out on your airtel broadband connection? I've been reporting this issue to airtel from past 6 months but they don't understand this. I think they're cheating me. Here are my results from SpeedTest.net using different servers.
Location/Ping/Download/Upload - URL
Chennai/7ms/48.27Mbps/5.63Mbps - Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Bangalore/13ms/32.69Mbps/5.62Mbps - Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Delhi/31ms/9.94Mbps/5.56Mbps - Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Mumbai/13ms/7.33Mbps/5.56Mbps - Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Hyderabad/15ms/21.02Mbps/5.54Mbps - Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Washington,DC/269ms/1.98Mbps/4.21Mbps - Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
New York City/234ms/1.66Mbps/4.82Mbps - Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test
For server selection on SpeedTest.net, I've selected Bharti Airtel network for speed test in India and for foreign countries I've used SpeedTest.net's own network.
