Upgrading to 1Gbps Plan and Offer (TataSky Broadband)

[AAK]

I don't think 5g would give you close to 1gig speeds in India for practical purposes..
After adoption in 1-2 Years , it would be quite congested too ( most of the towers in India aren't connected to fiber , only 30% are)

@vishalrao can you please share a speed test after connecting to cloudflare warp and also with Cloudflare warp zero trust too if possible

@vishalrao Can you do a ping citrix.vpshealth.com -t and do a tracert on Tata, if you have time and if its possible? Thank you

 

[vishalrao]

@AD2011 speedtest to what location/server and single or multi connections? BTW warp is not opening any UI on my win11 pro install (insider dev/beta edition) just the process is running in task manager - anything I'm missing?

Doh, the 4th hop seems to be Airtel? Then it goes to Dubai - Emirates Telecom or something - according to ipinfo.io website.

Everytime someone upgrades to 1G speedtests, ping times, trace routes and latency tests are the order of the day What purpose they serve I am not sure because those metrics only apply to that connection. I may be in the same city but get different speeds on the very same BB provider for e.g. way lower than 1G as I experienced last year.

I am on the 200 mbps plan with TPF. I've used 300mbps plan as well in the past but didn't notice any difference at all in browsing and streaming. 200 mbps is enough for my family of 4 simultaneously streaming and browsing. Only difference i noticed was the higher download speeds(obvious) but since i don't download stuff that much, overall experience was pretty much same for me.
I'd like to know if there is any difference in terms of browsing or streaming while using the 1Gig plan. Curious to know.

@rajat_ Once you go above 50Mbps, for browsing/streaming, there will not be any difference unless the website is heavily unoptimized.
Imagine 50 being that 95% accomplishment of a good experience, and the remaining 5% is your way to 1G.

@Lolita_Magnum +1 once you cross 50-100 megs the law of diminishing returns applies. Frankly unless you're a heavy user ie download huge amounts of data or a large family with several devices all doing the same thing ie downloading watching OTT you dont need more than 100.

Yeah it don't give you bragging rights but is that what you want?

Guys, just to put it in perspective even Netflix @ 4K works with a 15 Mbps line speed. Of course keeping in mind line speeds are never stable a 50 Mbps is enough for a 'normal' family (with no IBF members ) that mostly uses the 'net for browsing and email. My 'piddly' 40 Meg BSNL line nicely handles 4K Amazon and Netflix streaming on my UHD TV.
