Some IPs from Tata Play Fiber blacklisted??

[rohitks]

Hi,
I have Tata Play fiber connection.

Sometimes I get certain errors in certain apps

• Tata play app refuses to play content stating that you are using proxy
• One drive MS login (web browser) is rejected stating too many requests
• Tor browser says it’s blocked in your location

All I need to do is reboot the router and hope that same IP is not assigned again. Anyway behind CGNAT for IPv4. Upon getting a different IP, everything starts to work again.

Has anyone experienced the same?

I'd guess they are over deploying users behind a single IP over CGNAT, causing a DDOS like situation.

I am not facing this issue. Have you disabled IPv6?

Same with airtel and jio and excitel. These mfs using same ip for large pool of users.

Thanks for your responses.

I have not disabled IPv6. Yes excessive CGNAT is an issue with all ISPs.
The only solution as of now is to reboot the router.
Also I believe Tata and Airtel reserve a pool for Static IPs.

And out of large pool of users, some users abuse the network which results in too many requests. Isps should enable rate limit for fair usage

CGNAT is not a long term solution to IP address shortage problem. I think more websites should adapt IPv6.

Sometimes, the captcha won't go through on TPF, it just fails. Noticed this multiple times, very annoying.

i came to say this only, last 1-2 week its sucking my blood as well.
Such an annoying experience in phone, if you ask me. When everytime i try to do a google search - it asking to prove that i'm not robot and want me to endlessly click all fire extinguishers.

Reboot router, test IP which is not asking me captacha. and again in 2-3 days IP auto rotates and have to do this activity...

I kind of found the pattern as well.
IP range 101.0.63.xx is plagued with this problem where as IP range 101.0.62.x dont have this problem.

how to check this ?

@Rickysin Not a iffing single ISP in this country care anything about quality.
They will sell 500mbps line saying "recommended for gaming" but in reality even in Mumbai or Chennai servers we will get 70+ ping.
They will show speedtest to their own CDN and call it a day.

Recently on tata itself, i faced lots of problem in our income tax site... i was bashing govt for it,
but then my neighbors (90% uses tata in my appartment, because here airtel suks donkeys ass) said he faced same issue and used mobilie phone for tax site.
So i tethered my mobile 4g connection and site worked flawlessly (this caused at-lest 5 days delay in filing ITS this time )

Until we have good laws these ISP will keep on taking the customers for a ride.

Check what? IPv6? You can just disable IPv6 from your Nokia router.

You can try getting a static public IPv4 and see if it solves the problem. Tata is having a lot of browsing problems lately and I have highlighted this multiple times on the forum. Yes their uptime is pretty good and everything but what's the point of having a wired broadband if a basic website refuses to open due to a blacklisted/abused IP?
I have had instances with tata where I couldn't login onto my steam account due to the captcha error, it just goes into a infinite loop of captchas no matter how many of them I solve correctly. Honestly I don't have the time to keep fighting with customer care in order to get these issues resolved.
Another major issue I faced is with the AWS S3 speeds being throttled intentionally. In my current company, there is a lot of dependency lately on S3 but the download speeds won't cross 300 kbps while my connection speed was 200 Mbps. I did check speed on other servers like GCP and Azure and it worked completely fine with upto my plan speed. This was a deal breaker for me and I decided to give up on Tata, I don't care what the reason is, if my work gets hampered.

I don't have a complete list but there were many instances where I felt Tata intentionally throttled the connection.

@vishalrao can you share your experience with static IP? I personally had it for a month and I didn't test anything in particular but the overall experience was pretty much the same with no major improvements.

Currently Airtel is working fine for me but their jackass customer care is a nightmare to deal with. I just hope my connection doesn't go down now.

If nothing works out, I might just ditch everything and go with a local FTTH provider. These big brands are fooling us in the name of high upload and download speeds.
