Possible. You are getting consistent speed/latency throughout the day?

I am on normal ethernet. Maybe someone on fiber in Delhi can confirm if it's a known Delhi wide issue or only on ethernet.
 
My lco was having issues today with low speeds but latency was great as usual.
Right now, they are back to normal
It's a 25mbps connection so nothing special but what i like about them is the A+ ping times.

Same with Jio Fiber. Ping to facebook was 900ms+ about an hour ago. Now it has recovered a little but still it is 300ms+

Why are they facing issues as they have massive capacity as stated in peeringdb .Also they have their own cable landing station. isn't it? Also they have less users pan india

Oh I wouldn't really know. I am not in Bangalore right now. I was just curious about the the notification on the portal. 😛

Anyway in BSNL world, I setup a wireguard server on a GCP VM (Singapore) and configured OpenWRT to create a WG interface and route all traffic through it. Surprisingly, my tiny OpenWRT router is able to handle the load just fine with full speeds upto 50 Mbps with no issues.

I might just do that temporarily with a tiny GCP VM and route all my traffic through that. 🎉 I was under the impression that my Mi Router 3G would not be able to handle the load.
 
Like that, I also set up a wireguard server on DigitalOcean. It's treating me well. Yesterday there were some slowdowns at around 10 PM. I was afraid today I will not be even able to load Google, but so far, soo good. Near like before latency.

How is Singapore GCP treating you?

But I get pathetic speeds from DO, else DO was the obvious choice. Are you able to download their speedtest files at full speed during the day? Or is the performance better to a VM than their speed test files? 🤔

GCP Singapore is pretty decent, I didn't do proper test during the day so not sure.

GCP doesn't support IPv6, so I've been trying to take advantage of the IPv6 speeds by having a wireguard tunnel over IPv6 but route IPv4 through it. 😉 AWS Mumbai has IPv6 so was trying wireguard over it.

And it kind of works. but for higher speeds my Mi Router 3G is the bottle neck 😆




It says BSNL, but the traffic is going over AWS Mumbai. At those speeds, all 4 cores on the Mi Router 3G is maxed out. 😁

@varkey how is the latency from GCP to other servers? Last time I tried setting up a VPN on GCP Mumbai, the latency to other servers from GCP was like 300ms to Singapore, 250ms for Germany, etc.
 
@blueman24 Yeah when I did a quick check on GCP Mumbai, the latency was a bit high. Also, they claim to have premium tier network also, where the traffic is carried over Google network the farthest and leaves / enters Google network from your closest POP.

But yeah the latency is higher than from AWS Mumbai to Europe 🤷‍♂️

So far, by tunnel to AWS Mumbai over BSNL seem alright. 🤞

The difference of going direct vs going via the WG tunnel 🤷‍♂️ Good that I spent some time yesterday setting it up. 🚀
