Thinking to switch from BSNL FTTH to RailWire FTTH

[Enix]

Hello Everyone,

I have two connections at my home : BSNL FTTH 100 Mbps and RailWire ADSL 3 Mbps. Since 11 days my BSNL connection is completely out of order due to fiber cut (because of amphan) and they have not done anything to fix it irrespective of repeated phone calls daily. If anyone who lives in Howrah/Any other area and have used RailWire can you tell me how are they in providing service, quality of network, the downtimes, ping for gaming (I play MMO RPG games generally which requires connecting to Hamburg, Germany), NAT type etc. I get 148 to 170 ms ping using BSNL for European servers, and am getting NAT type 2. Also, is there a good chance that if RailWire ADSL connection is already at my home, then Fiber could also be feasible? or they are completely unrelated ?

Thanks.

This is the first time ever I'm hearing about railwire offering ADSL service.

Yeah, its very old, its a closed service, at my residence (Railway Quarters). Its for free because my dad works at Indian Railways. But its offering speed upto 3 Mbps and ping 30 to 40 ms. Since the connection exists from years, (before RailWire went public for selling connections to non-Railway employees). I would like to opt for a Fiber connection from them and want to know how is the reliability.

You have to take the connection in his name inorder to get the discount.
