I have observed that tikona official(tikona.services, if I'm not wrong) is on this forum. However, user hasn't visited this forum since last 18 days. Last activity was on 31st Jul, 2012.
I want tikona users to post result of Tikona connectivity at your location. Tikona has a good approach of providing high speed internet but they are unable to provide it because of they're providing internet on free channels. Therefore, they couldn't provide you a much stable connectivity. Tikona has a good infrastructure and high power Access point as I experienced.
I foolishly tried to change the direction of receivers (Nano station2 loco and Ruckus outdoor CPE are used for testing) facing at the face of AP several times from different corners of terrace.
I conclude that during some duration especially early morning and late nigh, I get stable connectivity but some delay is observed in ping time while pinging to default gateway else I get packet loss which we all receive from Tikona.
Why is this happening?
I can say this is all because of interference around the receiver. Again, I'm saying their access point are enough capable to send signal to multiple users but as mgcarley told me in discussion through PM, AP could become busy sometime while handling multiple requests and attending numbers of users. However, its throughput is fine but CPU memory reaches to peak. It is hard for user to determine poor performance is due to congestion at AP or interference around receiver/AP unless user has access of receiver which is not provided by Tikona official and even it's impossible to get into system. Any of receiver(Nanostation2 loco, Ruckus or Gemtech) provided by Tikona is not suitable for dealing with interference at user's site. Gemtech works at some location but it has worse throughput. It goes down very often. I think that's why Tikona has spent money in buying spectrum. It got numbers of customers in Mumbai and Pune. It can be said it is heart of Tikona but it depends on user whether it chooses Tikona or go with any alternative if available unlike me.
There is no solution of interference. It will help in getting stability temporary by shifting channels which is not possible from user side. Yeah, 5Ghz channel helps because of there are less electronics equips are working on that frequency whereas if we talk about 2.4Ghz, First comes wireless router(we all are used with it after laptop becomes easily available), cordless(it doesn't bother much but affects in some cases) and oven and many more.
High power devices make sense in getting stable connectivity but it will never be provided from Tikona. They may be costly for Tikona to afford. Variety of devices will improve performance as I experience personally. Every user has different situation at his place where unique device doesn't work especially it is cheap.
Believe me if you get connected with Tikona AP properly, you will have best taste of pudding. I have never experienced poor speed even if I think, it is evening and there will be unstable speed unless I have above 25% packet loss. In Mum-Pune, there may be different scenario where numbers of users have a single AP and if those are fond of downloading a lot, they may have wide variation in speed as official has mentioned in T/C in technical manner.(They are allowed to increase ratio up to 1:50 for unlimited plans.)
1) Please post snap of ping of default gateway.
2) Speedtest.net result along with the tariff speed under the result.
3) Most important, pingtest.net result.
4) Post the distance of AP from your place, numbers of AP with clear LOS(line of sight) and unclear one also. and direction of AP(I mean face of AP from your place)
I won't ask about your experience or about any rating. I know you and I are fed up with Tikona but for me, I don't have any alternative and I couldn't stop myself from lucrative speed of Tikona. Speedtest.net rating speaks itself calculated as per its automated system.
My result.
1). I get stability very often at late night. I will post the worse one when I have during the day.
2).
3). Why it's important. It gives the line quality test.
Above results seems good but I will post worse one tomorrow when sun rises. It's late night gives good results.
4).
AP = 2 both have clear LOS from my terrace and have not more than 300m distance from my terrace.
One of AP has exact face at my terrace but high tension line behind it bothers a lot. It fluctuate signal strength but it gives me best performance. It gives about 5-15ms from default gateway but I can't connect with it because of high tension lines causes signal drops.
Another one have clear LOS but face of AP is having cross angle because of having AP of another ISP is installed at the same place having distance of 2feet not more. Gives trouble a lot during day. It is the only one I can connect with. It gives me about 15-25ms from default gateway. Other ISP AP interferences a lot results in to packet loss while signal strength doesn't survive.
Don't post any confidential information of yours. No id or request number or no personal email/email interaction or name of any employee.
I need your connection performance. If it worked well, I would send it to appellate authority of Tikona. They may personally contact you through PM only if they are interested to make better.
Tikona is not suitable for online Gaming application or voice-video solution which is first requirement remained unsatisfied.
