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.

But excitel connection of urs is ftth?
Excitel ethernet n airtel vfiber are almost level.
 
Nope. But Airtel Fiber is any day better than Excitel Fiber in terms of reliability.
 
Check the other thread on the effect of Covid-19 on ISPs and also Excitel has more downtime than Airtel.
 
@igloo: HD(1080p) at 20+ mbps bitrate is around 30-44 GB for one hour + something minutes, multiple HD streams will consume that much data?

I have heard of HVC these days but I don't know if Indians have that gear to run it

What do you mean if Indians have the gear to run it.............. Elaborate a little:(😒👿
