Excitel Broadband in Delhi

[igloo]

My cable internet provider use to provide net via hathway or pacenet before now has one more option.

Excitel check website excitel
Local guy says its formed by ex-employees of pacenet

Plans are unlimited without FUP though youtube and torbox.net(downloaded a 1GB torrent file in an hour I think) speed is much more.

Good till now (5 days ols only) i am on 649 plan for which he took 800(bugger) from me.

Best thing is it works without any manual login required.
Authentication is done via pppoe on router only.

Using Sify routing for international bandwidth. Pings are lower for uk/europe than Singapore.

All in all Happy till now.

Just to let you guys know. 😉

Well its a wired one, provided with local cable TV providers as franchise , acc to my area guy most cable provider are breaking agreement with hathway n going with this.
Well speed do get slow in evening time but is good in morning. Even my local isp says we are new to this so give us a month to settle down.

Installation is free but bugger charged me 200 for registration lol
Right only browsing possible no downloading or streaming , local guy says wait for few more days to settle it down. Though in day time it works as promised.
Only in evening it gets lousy. I think this 20mbps for YouTube and tornet overloads the local network.

 

[salaxzar]

Even if it gets lousy a little, the prices are still amazing.

Rs 1499 for 20 mbps UL is sensational pricing if this ISP can provide reasonable reliability.

Airtel's Rs 1599 for 40 GB FUP at 4 mbps is robbery in broad daylight. There is no nice way of saying it.

@igloo : whwre are you located in Delhi? South Delhi?

 

[igloo]

OK connection is steady for past two days varying between 3-4mbps in daytime. Speed reached around 7 mbps last night.
I am located in west Delhi aka janakpuri.

This is the pricing Jio should aim to offer on FTTH. Minimum 20 mbps symmetric connection for Rs 1500 month and no FUP.

 

[igloo]

I think jio would be more competitive than this.
Excitel is also a new isp, let see how long they can maintain the current pricing.

Seem like most leechers are on to kite flying

My biggest beef with Airtel in Delhi is very slow upload speed. Uploads at 300 kbps or even slower make the process of sending emails with attachments painful and not to forget uploading photos and other backups on cloud.
