Excitel Broadband: Slow Internet Speeds to Many Servers and Locations

[Deleted member 63558]

@JB700 I closed my AWS India Server as the speeds to that Server is shit right now. So I'm trying other company now. Excitel seems to have issues with Europe, Singapore and Indian Servers (haven't tested US/Canada/South America yet).

I will try to check with OVH now else, I will see what EU Hosting Company has network backend with Tata.

I have tested over 5 Cloud Server Providers and all of them have issues with Excitel including AWS, DigitalOcean, Linode and many more.

It's so pathetic that sometimes HTTP download is fine but the iperf and other realistic tests (Server to Client / Server to Home Server) tests shows bad results

I infact created a tunnel too on Linux between the DO and Excitel and it was pathetic. (500Kbps speed anytime of the day). Sometimes in the night it would be fine and speed is normal.

It's sometimes fixes between 2 AM to 6 AM or so.

@ajgamer See below. I have a 100Mbps plan. Speed drops are random, not as severe as you describe but yeah they are there. Sometimes video would buffer during playback. Ping is what I notice all the time cuz playing PUBG on SEA region - Singapore.

@ashfame You've facing the same issue as mine.

I have a 100Mbps plan. Speed drops are random, not as severe as you describe but yeah they are there. Sometimes

The reason you're saying this is because I have testing happening every few minutes/hours giving me the report right now.

If you start testing it manually hourly, you would understand that the issue is as severe as I've explained it here on the thread. (There is no one on this forum who have ever tried to explain the issues of Excitel this in-depth instead they just being biased towards Excitel, defends it).

Why am I saying this?

Because Excitel to Excitel is normal. And if that is normal, it means LCO isn't at the cause.

It's the Excitel's Backend which is the problem.

Now, Excitel has their all the servers and router gateways sitting in the same Nehru Palace Building at the same room.

So, You and I are getting the connection physically from the same coordinates.

Now, You are getting the connection from the 103.48.199.1 (which was my previous router) and I'm getting the connection via. 103.48.197.1 now.

Okay, So according to me, You're facing the issue.

Your DigitalOcean Speeds are Poor, Your Excitel to Mumbai (Jio) is poor which clearly shows that the peering/caching is broken.

At the same time, I am seeing the same results on my connections.

You would see normal speeds around 2AM I guess, So do submit the test results. 🙂

And, It will again go back to shit speeds in the morning.

P.S.: I pay for the speeds too, if the Excitel's FUP is too much for many. 🙂

 

[ashfame]

@ajgamer Yep, most certainly facing the same issue. I am in agreement. My use case just doesn't let me notice it that much, just like average internet user.

 

[Deleted member 63558]

Yeah, I totally understand your point. All I am saying is that, It's the ISP's job to fool around the users like you who's usage is just normal/average.

They are taking money from you for Excitel to Every Server around the globe (not promising full-speeds to them but at-least 20-50% should be the average). But what we are getting is not even 5% of the speeds since last 2 weeks I can say.

Anyways, we can just hope it works fine in coming days (they fix it).

P.S.: I am getting 100% fine speeds from Airtel to every fuckin' server around the globe. No matter if it's DO/AWS or any other. I have confirmed the same with the other broadband guys too (using Tata Sky).

Also, Many people using JioFiber confirmed the good speeds on the same servers.

It's Excitel and it's sister/replicated companies which are facing this issue which includes Precious Netcom too. It takes no rocket science to understand that FTTH won't solve this issue. It's the backend issue. 😂 😂 😂

Given that, Fiber will route from the same gateways, same transit and same routers as the Ethernet Connections are. People with Fiber Installments are facing the same issue. (Shared in OP)

 

[JB701]

This guy on precious netcom's google review page gets it

^ This what I'm trying to make a lot of people understand over here that Excitel has been cheating or has started cheating by overselling which might have over-congested the network or they aren't buying enough bandwidth from their peering/transit networks anymore.

This same happened with the Hathway last year.

People crying about "Unlimited FUP" should come forward and complaint about this issue. Because it will be late when the speeds to Delhi to Delhi servers will be affected too if the over-congestion is the issue.

And, Excitel to Excitel (That Policy) is shit to be honest.

P.S.: Airtel or ACT or Jio > Excitel at this point and I genuinely wants to move out of Excitel now. I am happy sacrificing 5ms pings but I want good speeds to the servers which are for my work.

I just hope some alternatives come fast. 😢

Excitel FTTH is a no go for me since their backend for Fiber and Ethernet is the same.

@JB700 This Guy Deserves a Cookie for not being biased towards it's ISP (just because it's Unlimited FUP) 😂

I am continuously seeing Packet Loss. @JB700 Are you?

Test: Connect to a TeamSpeak Server and Check!

IBF is also loading very slow for me right now. 😕

For once they accept!

 

[Deleted member 63558]

@john_dud Didn't get you. Can you explain in detail?

 

[JB701]

Don't have teamspeak but I'm getting packet loss on my local isp

 

[john_dud]

@john_dud Didn't get you. Can you explain in detail?

This is a global ticket that's open on my excitel portal right now and it was opened by excitel

 

[Deleted member 63558]

@john_dud I am seeing the same ticket. But technically, I don't come under the West Region of Delhi.

What region do you come under?

Also, What about North?

@JB700 You come in West Delhi?
