Why FTTH speeds are not growing in India

[Rickysin]

@87056 i am getting average of 17 ms ping from excitel hyderabad on valorant mumbai server and on jio fiber its 23 ms

anything above 100mbps is not useful at home tried 1gbps for some time waste of money imho not much better than 100 mbps except downloads rest all same as no servers can handle 1 gbps for web pages

@Rickysin that's nice. Great that excitel is changing now. 17ms from hyderabad seems pretty decent. Does excitel have direct peering with AWS now? Also what abut packet loss?
I don't know what's wrong with jio, they have direct peering with AWS but my friends who have Jio Fiber experience random ping spikes during the game. In case of Airtel and TPF, pings remain quite stable. I get 5-7ms on both from Pune.

bandwidth is far from reach when "tier A" isps run like this

@87056 i don't see any packet loss anywhere on excitel. only con is they reset the pppoe connection after every 7 days.

I like my 250 Mbps connection. If everyone else feels 100 Mbps is enough for them, great. May the force be with you.

Honestly you will not feel difference in surfing speed on 50mbps or 1 gbps connection.

Speed only matters if one is downloading stuff quickly on higher speeds.

^ This is the issue ... "Itna speed leke karoge kya?"
Same tune isp to customers..

 

[Rickysin]

that is not an issue. Prove me wrong that 40 mbps and 1gbps connection website surfing speed is not same.

if person wants to download quickly then they can go for higher speed plans and if not then 40-50 mbps is more than sufficient.

you will even not feel any difference between dsl surfing speed and fiber one.

@Rickysin I agree that high speeds won't make browsing better, but a fiber connection over dsl would make a significant difference. I remember Airtel VDSL days, yt videos would struggle to load even at 25 Mbps speed. Even browsing was sluggish. Fiber solved a lot of latency issues.
