Timbl Broadband Review

I recently shifted from excitel to Timbl broadband. Excitel in my area does not offer FTTH and their transit speed chokes during evening time (9 pm-12 am).

I am on a 50mbps FTTH Unlimited connection paying about Rs 700/month (inclusive of taxes). Static IP if you need is another 400/month. ONU Security was Rs. 500. Running my own router with Unifi Access Point.

It's been 6 days since I shifted has till now there has been no downtime. Initially, I had to contact the customer care to get the admin password of the ONU which was given to me within a day or two.
Another great point about Timbl is that they offer dynamic public IPs to every user. No port blocked, you can run whatever you want and with a dynamic DNS service, you basically have a static IP equivalent domain name.
Timbl uses google DNS by default.

Below are a few speedtest results to UK, US, Singapore, Ind using on speedtest. Upload struggles a bit but I won't be uploading much to US/UK. Tested on a 5Ghz wifi.

I will keep updating the thread with my findings.

He has mentioned earlier that his work requires him to backup a ton of data every quarter.

Piracy doesn't necessarily mean a person will use terabytes of data per month or vice versa.

For instance my home has been using 100-200GB a day ever since lock down started excluding my home server. It's completely from streaming legit (Hotstar, Netflix), Youtube and to a lesser extent Facebook.

Also piracy with no seeding (or seeding only while leeching) doesn't use that much more data compared to legit streaming services.
 
Maybe 4k streaming. Not easy to suck that much with HD.
