Hello All
I’m confused about getting BSNL FTTH or Railwire.
Main use cases are:
• For torrenting
• Slight Online Gaming
• Streaming YT/OTT
Heard a lot of issues about both ISP’s (BSNL having IPv6 issues and RW having some weird Latency and freezing issues)
Please help me to decide which one to choose

Railwire gives CGNAT IP address, BSNL gives public dynamic IP address. You will have to elaborate on IPv6 issues and what's RW?
 
I have a BSNL connection in my uncle's house.
The connection is bridge.
So I turned on the IPv6 in the openwrt router, I thought it will be fine later after playing 2-3 4K videos on yt it started buffering a lot ,Then I switched back to IPv4 only. There is no issue in the IPv4 whatsoever. I also changed the dns to Google in both IPv4 & v6.Then tested again on the IPv6 . Still the issue not resolved.
So that's why I'm worried about taking the connection btw the connection is giving by the same LCO.
Another option is Railwire (RW) but I heard a lot of internet freezing issue and latency issue in the railwire.
Compared to the BSNL the Railwire plans are little bit costly
 
I have ONT bridge and openwrt based setup too. I have IPv6 enabled and everything works fine on my end. Maybe it's a regional issue or hardware compatibility issue. However, I have IPv6 disabled on my nvidia shield because players like tivimate has issue seamlessly shifting between v4 and v6. DNS can't help, the issue might be on hardware side.

If you have to choose between them, go for BSNL.
