Airtel Xstream Fiber Broadband 1gbps ultra plan with unlimited data (~3TB) for Rs. 3999+GST (Rs. 4719)

So i decided to give the gigabit plan a shot. Here's what i'm getting, just got upgraded to the plan.

@Funkatronic which place ? Which router , and which device did you perform speed test ? And i assume test done through Ethernet cable..

You can see i didn't get correct speeds as mentioned in my previous posts

Ive posted this before when i shifted to the 300mbit plan, but here we go again. Based out of Pune, the Router is the Huawei HG8145V5. Running over gigabit ethernet to my PC.

Edit: Another speedtest run for the lulz

@Funkatronic can you comment on speeds you are seeing for actual usage other than speedtests?

You should blur out your IP Address on the fast.com result

@Funkatronic also test some international servers on speedtest. Like Vodafone UK, Comcast seattle, some in Singapore. DigitalOcean speedtest for various locations if possible.

For browsing? To be honest its diminishing returns post 40mbit IMHO. Sure heavy pages (ala imageboards) might load faster, and good ol' youtube will default to 4k whenever available, but otherwise in browsing, nothing mindblowing.

Parallel tasks on the other hand.. amazing. I upgraded to this connection as im building a plex server anticipating Disney+ and AppleTV+ content, plus other content that id rather download and host/stream locally off my Plex Server.

That works amazing currently, even when the missus is streaming Netflix UHD on the TV and i might be watching a Twitch stream, i get decent (lol) download speeds and the plex server stays updated. 🙂

@Funkatronic Can you do speedtest of international server us,uk,jp,sg,nl,de etc? Do it on single and multi thread separately please.

Here is screenshot of how to choose single connection on speedtest.

 

[vishalrao]

Yes @Funkatronic DO IT NOW!

The dude's gone when you asked him to do the real test 😂

 

[Funkatronic]

The dude doesn’t have time to sit and do tests just cause. The dude doesn’t feel obligated to respond every time someone asks for something.

Shifted nearby to a new place, only available broadband is airtel FTTH and triple play
The choice was obvious
I couldn't do proper testing because I don't have my desktop shifted, will have to wait 2 days for that

I used a type c to gigabit ethernet to do the speedtest on my mobile
