Seems like BSNL ftth can access from the ip from some regions and can't access the from some region. Check this measurement

RIPE Atlas - RIPE Network Coordination Centre

RIPE Atlas is the RIPE NCC's main Internet data measurement system.

atlas.ripe.net

Anybody know how to report these kind of issues to bsnl?

@varkey are you facing telegram download issues?

 

[abbyck]

I too can't ping to 149.154.167.151.
But I can send and receive text using BSNL connection. Media content including images, videos or even stickers won't load.
I have been using MTProto proxies to overcome this problem, but now even with the added padding, media doesn't load. Trying with SOCKS5 proxy I could load the media.

For fun I tried running a SOCKS5 proxy on my local network and pointing telegram app to it. Weirdly, then I could download media through telegram!

Now I don't know whether the issue is with BSNL or with myself. But I can confirm that I'm able to load media through other ISPs without any proxies.

@abbyck texting is routed through another ip address which is accessible via bsnl ftth and I even got no issues with texting. While downloading media the spinner is spinning with no effect. Even the media thumbnails are not loading. I think the app trying to connect to the above IP address/ range and getting timed out.

 

[abbyck]

@ifru could you try setting up a local SOCKS5 proxy, point telegram to it check if media is downloadable?

 

[ifru]

@abbyck I'm out of station. Will try next weekend.
