How good is JIO FIBER for gaming(Quality Check). Planning to upgrade(NEW UNLIMITED Plans).

What is the quality of the existing connections in terms of PING, Packet Loss, Jitter. If there's a existing customer of jio fiber please post some details regarding ping and packetloss in whateever games you've played either in pc or mobile. Does it perform well compared to its competitors like airtel xstream broadband, Act Fibernet. I live in Hyderabad (Telangana) if someone from hyderabad can comment on it would be more helpful to better know the Ground reality in the state.
These New plans are the way to go forward it relieves the datacap issues for most of the gamers since they demand regular updates of 50 gb or so. But i'm speculative of the quality issues. It doesn't matter how much ever speed the isp provides without low stable ping and low packetloss and jitter. The gaming scene wouldn't improve in the country.

I usually use my airtel 4G as a Hotspot for gaming on the tablet ie mobile games.

I'm Specifically Talking about JIO Fibernet. Does it give stable low ping without any packet loss issues? These are very important for gamers as the experience of multiplayer is dependent on quality of ISP and less on speed of internet.

In CS I get around 60-70ms to bom, maa and sgp servers which may seem like bad to some people but coming from 110-130ms on Jio 4G it makes the experience a lot better for me. Haven't noticed any packet loss either and bandwidth is pretty consistent for me, I get around 10-11MBps on steam.

well below 50ms would be ideal. In terms of network performance goes. But having no packetloss is a positive sign. What about jitter? Is your ping mostly consistent? Thanks a lot for the info btw.

Yeah i meant that the pingo COD Mobile jumps to around 120 from 60 ish that's why I end up using my Hotspot. Haven't tried pc games online yet...

55-60ms COD Warzone (Singapore)
30ms CS (BOM)
50-55ms Valorant (Singapore)

I get 20-50 ms on mumbai in cs( which is like 500 kms away) , 90 ms on valorant.

I have experienced really good pings with JioFiber in Mumbai with 0% Packet Loss, and NAT Type being OPEN (Hathway & my local internet used to always be Moderate). Pretty similar to what @Sammy is getting. When I first got my connection, the NAT Type was Moderate, but automatically changed to Open in about a week or so. Anyway, I was getting the same ping and 0% packet loss on Moderate as well.

55-70 ms COD Warzone (Americas region)
50-60 ms Valorant
Just note that you will get higher pings if you're grouping up with your friends, and the host has a higher ping than you, especially in COD.

Can someone explain for a non-tech person like me about this NAT thing and how it can be set to open as above?

Thanks!

@kkapoorr Network Address Translation. Basically this is needed if you don't have a public IPv4 address. In Jio, you have a private IPv4 address. It means your IP address is an address in Jio's internal network, and not visible to the internet. People from outside can't reach you with just IP address, because this public IP address is shared by many people in Jio's internal network. NAT tells IP packets coming from internet which internal IP address to go to, since you're not directly visible outside. It's like you're permanently living in a hotel room, courier from outside comes only till reception desk with your name. Hotel staff (like NAT) does the job of delivering the packet till your room. The sender didn't know your room number, only hotel name. The problem comes in peer to peer applications like some games like FIFA, where direct IP connection is needed. Open NAT means you're directly accessible from outside without intermediaries like the hotel staff. This NAT used at level of ISPs is called carrier grade NAT (CGNAT). Another NAT that happens is in your home network. The packets come till your router which sends them to right devices. This one is fixed by forwarding ports since you have the router access, but CGNAT happens at ISP's router, you can't do much.

In Jio you have a private IPv4 (CGNAT) and public IPv6. So if the application is using IPv4, it will see NAT type strict, if it is using IPv6, it will see an open NAT.
