Had some optical power issues lately. The power was around -27dBm and had a very occasional disconnection. Looks like they monitor the stats because they had the field engineer come at my place and replace a faulty patch connection without me even asking for it. May be they have a filter to list out connections with lower than required power levels?
Anyway, quite happy with service so far.
 
Similar story: my router crashed while I was away at work. Got a text sayin it happened and theyll fix it from their end. Came back and everything was peachy and the router was updated with all settings and a new software update, all with me doing nothing. No field visit either. I love their uptime and service.

And one last thing. How much speed do you get once you connect to cloudflare warp+? If you use Linux, you can specify 162.159.193.5 as the endpoint which will connect you to Mumbai colocation server
 

How should I check the speed? Just regular fast.com and speedtest.net or something specific you want me to check? I will boot into linux and update here shortly but hopefully warp+ (which I dont have) is not paid or anything 🙂

Oh, BTW, I should mention I have static IP from Tata Play and 1 gbps plan - hopefully it doesn't skew the traceroute results compared to CGNAT.

Thank you for sharing the traceroutes.

"How should I check the speed? Just regular fast.com and speedtest.net or something specific you want me to check?"
Can you check if by downloading from ubuntu mirrors with wget command in linux
Code: 
 wget http://ubuntu.lafibre.info/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox-dbg_66.0.3+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1_amd64.deb

"I will boot into linux and update here shortly but hopefully warp+ (which I dont have) is not paid or anything 🙂"
I have few warp + keys which I can share, but I don't want to share it on a public forum. Do you use discord or something? How can I share the key with you?
 
I'll DM you my telegram ID? Just point me to a HOWTO install warp+ and connect it to that endpoint you mentioned and I can post the wget results both with and without warp+ enabled?
 
@Powerful84tiger is there any reason why you picked that file link (server) for wget??? I get 200 - 300 mbps download speeds (single thread) from there.

I also spent a lot of time checking out various ubuntu mirrors and also found the official France mirror to be very fast 🙂 so I use it by default except when I point my ubuntu installs to my local mirror so I get LAN speeds (1 gbps) for updates etc. Other places you can try are the DK and IT mirrors - dotsrc.org and garr.it respectively - those are very fast too.
 
Any ubuntu mirror is fine as long as the download speed can max out.

Download Warp by executing the commands provided at https://pkg.cloudflareclient.com/. After installation, run:

Code: 
warp-cli register
warp-cli set-license (put the key I shared without bracket)
warp-cli set-custom-endpoint 162.159.193.5:2408

You can then use the following commands to connect and disconnect:

Code: 
warp-cli connect
warp-cli disconnect


Also, disable ipv6 before downloading the file with warp

Well dang! The speed went up from 200 mbps to 600 with warp connected.
 
Yes and yes.

wgot that firefox deb from a few EU mirrors like FR, IT, SE.
 
@Powerful84tiger so what does this mean?

What is and where is the custom endpoint located?

Does it mean Tata is throttling international speed? Or it's inconclusive?
