It seems like the main reason for high pings and packet loss is their capacity. They seems to have about 30Gbit of transit from TATA and they are running over 2L+ customer on such little capacity? And, Just one transit? No redundancy?
They have one from link from Reliance, and that is just in their Hyderabad.

I have a surge protector connected to Excitel ethernet cable. Since I am not sure if it is working, I disconnected the cable today just to be safe. It's better to have no connectivity during thunderstorm then to end up with fried hardware at home. but yeah, as a business, it's rude on their part. yes, their own hardware can get damaged. and they would get yelled at by customers who finds their routers fried due to power surge (or whatever)... i guess it's a good reason to switch to fiber in any case.

@Sushubh I currently have airtel vdsl and they already have permission to lay fiber in my society, they say it will take max 3 months to provide ftth.
should i stay with airtel or should i switch to excitel...excitel just launched in my society via LCO.
AIRTEL: they currently provide 250GB cap even on ftth on affordable ₹1099 plan
EXCITEL: they say their plans are truly unlimited.
SPECTRA: they were in the society a while ago but due to licencing issue (as per an LCO guy) they do not provide new connections, though their customer care has been saying since january that its only a PORT issue which will soon be resolved.

assuming you are living in a flat...
the possibility of poor service is lower compared to individual houses like in my case.
you should definitely give it a try. airtel's unlimited data plan cost like 3000+.
and at speeds of 50-100mbps... it is better to have unlimited data plan rather than 300GB or 1000GB even.
airtel vdsl has been quite messed up for the people i know who have it. takes a long time to connect. and even when it does, goes down randomly requiring a router reboot. could be device specific problem. but these are annoying enough that i have not yet upgraded my adsl to vdsl.
