Airtel Xstream Broadband Static IP now costs Rs. 199+GST (Rs. 235) per month

@SpeedxThunder thanks for the information, I have been reading about it and what you said makes absolute sense, if I limit my bandwidth in QOS on my router to 220mbps the buffer bloat is getting an A.

And many are saying that the QOS is only useful if you stress your connection to its limits and if the bandwidth is less than 300mbps, anything more than that, and if you don't stress the connection at all times, there is no need to worry about buffer bloat nor the QOS.

@eatpepsi for Bufferbloat issue, your speeds are increased due to static IP and when you perform speed test the router's cpu and memory usage goes to its peak and hence it fails to manage Bufferbloat.

@eatpepsi as mentioned earlier with static IP you will most likely NOT get an IPv6 address. Try your luck. Set the v6 config to DHCPv6 and see what happens. I did not get a v6 address in my pfSense box.

I am frankly at a loss to understand why the heck someone with a static IPv4 also want a v6? Heck man it's only an addressing scheme and does diddly squat to improve your internet speed. Frankly it's better to stay on v4 for now.

I am with a dynamic public IPv4 for now. I also get a DHCP v6 address.

I just want static IP so port 80/443 are not blocked. I plan to move away from cloudflare for my server. But I want it dual stack too... so

@eatpepsi probably 121 guy mislead u .... check ss .... or mail to [email protected] ...

@Sayantan ok, i clicked on it, it's saying to contact nearest airtel office. Will go check out this week and update the same ...

@Chip may be look at this

is that static IPv6? nice

@albonycal no its not static.
@Chip you can get ipv6 with static ipv4 if you create separate profiles for ipv4 and ipv6.

 

[albonycal]

afaik, the Nokia ONT doesn't support multiple profiles with same VLAN ID

 

[eatpepsi]

My ipv6 is behaving exactly the same as how it was with dynamic IP, so no change there for me

 

[Chip]

@eatpepsi were you assigned a static IP? If not, you're still on DHCPv4 no matter what IPv6 test sites indicate as hostname.

Also, @albonycal unlike TPBB Airtel does not provide a static v6 only a v4.

@nishantt6969 I tried all settings in pfSense, it simply refused to get a v6 address. Of course this was some months back when I was on static v4 I am not sure if things have changed in my city recently. I may shift to a static v4 in the near future.

Interesting. So can i opt for 40mbps plan and get a static ip and then my speed will auto increase to upto 1 gbps ?
If yes then i will do it today

 

[nishantt6969]

@Rickysin yes for most of the users including me.

 

[albonycal]

@eatpepsi is the "IP Mode" IPv4 and IPv6 in the WAN profile of the ONT?
