they are overselling services without upgrading the last mile connectivity. as a result some of us barely manage to get 5mbps during congestion periods. it's best to stick with the cheapest plan and keep expectations low. excitel needs to switch to fiber for last mile connectivity if they plan to keep selling 50-100mbps plans and overselling them.

unless there is a good reason, there is no point of going for a 75mbps or 100mbps connection. you would rarely get that much speed on non-peered servers.

Nope, I don't have any strong reason.

I read your replies in this forum and though maybe a 100mbps connection might flair better at peek hours (8pm-midnight). Also, I thought a higher price band might mean slightly less people subscribed and thus, slightly lesser congestion.

Do either of the arguments hold any ground?
 
i doubt so. whatever the package, you have the same ethernet cable coming to your place. if it is overloaded, your plan speed would not matter at all. it's pretty much like water supply. you can have a wider pipeline at your place. if the supply is fucked up, it would not matter in the end.
 
@Sushubh aren't these guys are using that strange ethernet cable which only has 4 wires in it ? cause if they are what's the point in investing a gigabit router when you are going to be limited to 100 mbps because of those 4 wires.
 
i doubt i would get anywhere close to 100mbps on my current wireless setup. so i would prefer to invest in gigabit routers and access points when i eventually upgrade from the mess i have created at my place.
 
@Sushubh does that mean excitel guys are using full fat ethernet cable with 8 wires in it at your place ?
 

no idea to be honest. a regular ethernet cable is coming to my place. i think it's cat5 but i wouldn't know.
 
@Sushubh x'D dont go by whats written on it. cause mine says cat5e but when i look at it it came out to be really thin cable with only 4 wires inside it instead of 8 wires.
 
i think the issue of ethernet cables used by excitel has been discussed elsewhere on the forum.
 
@Sushubh i guess the one you are refering to is this.

here as you can see @Sidharth P told us that we need all 8 wires for gigabit speeds.
