I don't get time much that's why even after seeing this topic more than a week ago I am only having time now to post this. Actually for the same reason I can't keep complaining at right time and companies take advantage of the same. Anyway, straight to the point, the reliability factor of Alliance broadband, say on a scale of 5 is somewhere like at 1.5. The ping also, keep changing like every other week, one week I get 160 ping on a german server I game at, but the next week it's ~200-210. They keep changing their routing channels (or whatever the more appropriate technical term there is) even so often.
I took Alliance in March 2016. So it has been 4.5 years I've been their user. Before that I used BSNL exclusively, right from dial up in 2003 till 2016 at a stretch. But I just couldn't deal with their 1.8 mbps speed and 40 GB capping (or whatever the FUP was I don't even remember anymore), so moved to Alliance. And that was my biggest mistake. Even at early 2016, when they had CAT5 connection only, it would drop at office hours (11 AM to 5 PM). It would shock someone if I say how many time the connection actually dropped. Back then I was not aware of software like ping plotter or Gping etc. Otherwise I would have kept a record for my meme collection (imaginary). As I ran a stock market terminal back then, I first hand experienced how terrible Alliance's stability was. At least 10-15 times during those hours I had to reconnect the software. And at night time too it was not perfect, here and there it would disconnect at its whims.
When they upgraded to so called fibre cables around Sep-Oct later that year, I was over the moon thinking now this disconnection issue will be rid of. But I was totally wrong. It remained the same. Only the speeds were improved but nothing else. Their connection outage throughout a day still baffles me.
Here is just one video when I actually had time to monitor the issue, pleasure your eyes at it:

I am aware that it depends on LCO, it might actually not be Alliance's fault. But here is the thing, I am the end-customer, and I could not give a rat's bottom about whose problem it is. If anyone is considering to take alliance on, you have been warned. If there was a truly unlimited even 8 mbps connection from a good ISP which worked 24x7, at more price, I would be beyond glad to take them on. Sorry for the rather long post, but it was 4.5 years of agony.
