Tripleplay Broadband Review

I recently switched again ISP again from ANI Broadband to Tripleplay.

Context:-

ANI Broadband had been running very well for me with close to full speeds to international servers and good routing but recently they switched me (or rather the LCO) over to a different network which had many problems with reliability and speed. I was quite annoyed considering that ANI has worked well for me for close to 8 months. It seems to be an LCO specific issue as it is still good on other LCOs.

My LCO decided switch me over to another ISP (Precious Netcomm or PNPL) as ANI was having some reliability issues even on their side.

Unfortunately PNPL has its own share of issues, it works very well during morning (over 100Mbps to international servers) when there is little to no congestion but in evening it chugs (<5Mbps). So I was on the lookout for another ISP from another LCO.

@kanurag94 helped me out a lot in finding a new LCO (he lives in the same area as I). He told me about Tripleplay Broadband and gave me their number (Tripleplay doesn’t advertise much in my area; I wasn’t able to find any flyers with their number on it).

Setup/Installation:-

I messaged Tripleplay LCO and told them to set it all up on Sunday (9th Feb). The entire installation took 4 hours; I opted for fiber instead of copper, so setup took much longer. They came to my house at around 11AM and I had internet around 3PM. Installation cost was Rs. 2000. I had my own ONT so told them I didn’t want one. The termination box looks just like the one that ANI had.

Initially they didn’t set me up with Tripleplay, they made me an account with Zeonet. Zeonet had the same congestion problem as with PNPL except it was much worse (slowed down to mere 1Mbps at night). Here are the speedtests if anyone is interested:

At evening:-

@kanurag94 again helped me out and told me ask my LCO to switch me over to Tripleplay, I was worried that they won’t do it because I already paid for it. I messaged them again and they were willing to switch me over to Tripleplay.

The day after, they switched me over to Tripleplay with static IP.

Pricing:-

I’m paying Rs.1000 for 100Mbps. Its a much better deal compared to Rs.2500/month for ANI I have been paying for until now.

Public static ISP:-

In my ANI review I said that they were the only ISP in my neighbourhood who offered static IP but it turns out I was wrong. My LCO hooked me up with a public static IP right away. Its not 1:1 NAT like ANI either, I just have to put in my public IP directly on my router; pretty neat.

Speedtest Results:-

Speeds are very good even better than ANI. At 6-7AM I’m able to hit close to 120Mbps even on international servers. The tests above were done at around 9:30PM.

I have never seen any non-JIO owned ISP route through JIO. This is especially weird since JIO isn't listed on upstream provider list of Tripleplay https://bgp.he.net/AS132453#_graph4 . Did JIO buy Tripleplay? Idk, some traffic is going through Airtel, or maybe JIO started selling transit recently?
 
Remember they took in investment of global internet giant which optimize peering for business goals, so it seems...Jio has become much more amenable.

BGP records might be updated in few hours, if not now?
 
Luckily its back to normal, idk what caused Tripleplay to route through JIO, maybe they messed up routing or ?, still certainly interesting to see JIO on traceroutes.

Maybe TriplePlay is also going down the toilet 🙁. I really hope JIO didn't secretly buy TriplePlay or something.

It seems like domestic traffic is going through JIO and international through Airtel but then again CF Warp node is going to Mumbai on Airtel?
 

Yea, its working fine now. I'm curious though whether JIO sells transit to ISPs it doesn't own. Also, some sites such as Linode are routed over VODAFONE-IDEA which makes this even more confusing

I'm not on my pc right now so I can't do the insite speedtest, but I wget the file on my wired home server.

During 9-11PM, it takes around 30 seconds to reach full speed on far away servers like NYC

In my area Excitel ethernet has became oversold utter garbage. So it's way better than that.

I'll put the insite test on here tmmrw.
