How is your ISP doing with increased traffic due to the COVID-19?

@coolrags Were you able to enable Bridge Mode on Jio Fiber's ONT?

I know that. I was just joking around. Which ISP in India "expands easily" anyway apart from BSNL and Jio?

Nobody 😅

No bro that's the saddest part. ACT doesn't even have rar-bg blocked .. 🤣

Ever since BSNL has capped download bandwidth to 20Mbps, the afternoon havoc has disappeared, no more packet loss or ping spikes. Looks like this was a congestion issue. However I'm getting 20 while paying for 50, you win some you lose some, I guess.

So you're dealing with triple NAT situation on Jio Fiber in the Dual WAN setup, that's not good at all.

How can ACT an ISP "have" link-removed a website? 🤔

I know Jio uses CGNAT and yes because of two routers it can be as treated as tripple nat but daily usage doesn't really effects any performance.
Thats the reason i have setup routing rules.

Im just saying i love act due to various reasons.

After BSNL's max speed being capped at 20 Mbps or so, latency is relatively better. Streaming services like Prime and Hotstar are working fairly okay. 🤞

Yeah but now all otts like netflix ,prime etc ,has removed their hd and uhd streaming right so the load on the isps are reduced much considerably right? so now bsnl can remove the speedcaps isnt it? I am getting buffeirng due to three simulatneous streaming at my home....

Prime and Hotstar still streams in HD for me. 🤔 Maybe reduced bit rate HD? Prime does show it as HD 1080p

The low resolution is only for wireless 3g-4g subscribers i think

pothi · Mar 26, 2020

@anubhav11 probably. I got 0% packet loss since this morning in Airtel 4g. It wasn't the case a couple of days ago.

@philip The load may have reduced but it may be still higher than normal. Please let WFH folks get their share of the bandwidth. BSNL may not increase their throughput in such a short time.

I am glad to see these steps being taken to reduce the load. The 'net is a shared resource and we need to adjust till this crisis blows over.

You are right.

All companies from the digital industry have decided upon temporarily defaulting HD & ultra-HD streaming to SD content or offering only SD content, at bitrates no higher than 480p on cellular networks until 14 April.

im watching Hunters (Prime) right now, yeah just getting 1080p HDR. I think it a good thing to do, europe has asked to reduce even more...People are getting game lag there.
