Hey there!

I read a lot of problems regarding Railwire broadband. However, it would be great for me if you can list them here, especially regarding gaming and the overall stability (speed, downtimes, packet loss etc.).

I saw that a lot people were having issues with CODM and PUBGM, is that resolved? And are you facing problems even in PC games or only these two?

@ch@ndlerbing It's worse for me. The LCO shuts down his equipment during lightning.

@AkashDS It depends on the LCO. But if the problem is beyond his scope then even he can't help. That's why I asked you to let somebody get it before you so that you can know his experience.

My LCO told me last mile connectivity is our responsibility, if there is no problem with fiber connection and your are getting plan speeds on railtel servers, he cannot do anything. Such unusual problems of CODM, Netflix the Railwire backend team is responsible. People complaint to LCO but they also cannot do much if people face such issues which are out of their scope.

Actually, the only friend of mine who needed broadband connection will be getting JioFiber. And I do not know anybody else who would be willing to get broadband connection, as it is still considered useless here.

And they have recently came to my city. This is first time I was told that broadband connection is feasible to my area. 😂 I guess I'll just try to get it for a few months, I do not have alternative anyway.

Hmm, by the way, everyone is routed from Kolkata in Railwire? I saw that a lot of people were saying Railwire's gateway is Kolkata. So, my ping won't be good for Mumbai servers, as in Airtel 4G? 😟

I am from Chhattisgarh and usually get 36-44ms in mobile games' Indian servers which are located in Mumbai. And 80-100ms for Singapore servers.

How much do you get when your Internet works fine for the games you play?

@AkashDS I have attached a speedtest result. You can see that the ping is 47ms. In this case you're likely to get around 50-55ms in games. I have found the ping to be 40ms when the ping to Railtel Mumbai is 33ms. So it seems they have two different routes.
For singapore servers I have found it as 80ms most of the time.

I had a BSNL connection 7-8 years back. The experience was one of the worst I have ever faced in my life. That time mostly BSNL was providing broadband through its landline services. I faced problems every now and then. It was just pathetic service. Don't know how are they doing now with Bsnl FTTH.

Railwire has some problems, but it's not that bad. It's good connection for a casual user like me who needs it mostly for study and streaming purposes.

My ping to mumbai is 13ms,
1.1.1.1 is 13ms
google.com is 13-15ms
Send me the ip, I'll send ping results. I'm from Gujarat.

EDIT - I jinxed it, now its in range of 80-100
To mumbai is 77ms
This shows the railwire is very much unreliable for gaming.
