So, just got updated by my LCO and have the new plan in effect.

Now the plans are inclusive of the 18% GST.
Some other plans that I'm aware of

Rs 707 - 60 Mbps - 1.5 TB
Rs 1100 - 100 Mbps - Unlimited No FUP (at least this is what I was informed)
 
@happybanana whats your location ?
 
What is wrong with railwire website? It has not been updated since ages with 1mbps and 2mbps plans still present and there are no contact details or addresses for most cities. How are we supposed to find the lco for a particular city?
 
I had to call them up on their customer care number and then get the LCO's contact details.
 

Well, it looks like they have made some changes to their website after the last time i checked it but the plans in Maharashtra are still bad. I heard they were using bsnl's network over here for some reason maybe that's the reason for such plans.

Yeah in some other states too they do have shitty plans for example Karnataka.
But do enquire with thier office this llamas might not be refreshed or it might be leased out to LCO. Only way to know is contact thier customer care.
 
I ended up removing RailWire. My LCO didn't give 2 shits about the operation of the service. It was mental agony all the year round.
 
LCOs are haelpless beyond the pysical links to your house, nor they can take a stand against RailWire/BSNl/govt PSu because they paid a lot in bribes to get sweet government tenders ( They basically don not enjoy any contract protections much)
 
Hey Happybanana, I am thinking of getting Railwire. Can you tell me how much you paid for the installation and if you used it for gaming, was there any packet loss? Also, was there any downtime? Connection quality?

Hey! I paid around 4500 INR for the installation including the ONU. I did use it for gaming. At first, it was great with almost 0 downtime and no major outage. But as months progressed, I faced major disruptions. And the LCO was always like it's all good from our side. Constant nagging would make them drag their ass down to here and then they'd always notice a fault somewhere. Whenever there was an outage, it was almost for a good 2-3 days.

I did experience immense packet loss in Overwatch and Fortnite. Granted, it was not that often; but the times it did happen, it did severely affected the gameplay. Overall, I'd give it 6/10.

But then, please do keep it in mind that the backlash doesn't mean RailWire is bad everywhere. I have read multiple people having good experience with them. If there's a better alternative with a lower installation cost, I suggest you should go for that.
 
Thanks for your input. Currently, I am using Nextra, although the speed is constant, but there is constant 2% packet loss too. Their customer support is shit and doesn't even understand what packet loss is. I dont mind paying 4k for installation if the quality is good. But after your statement I am reconsidering railwire.
