I have a 1Gbps plan in Gurgaon. Performance is mostly good on Spectra, except for some cases
1. A Speedtest with an Indian server results >900mbps up and down, but a Speedtest with any server outside India goes down to 70/80mbps. Is such a vast difference normal?
2. Twitter is very slow. Scrolling leads to posts continuously stuck on loading. Switching to Mobile data or even switching on VPN improves performance drastically
3. Netflix 4K performance varies wildly. In some cases I am able to stream just fine. In other cases, streaming is horrible. In such cases, a Speed test on fast.com shows 30/40mbps, Speedtest.net still shows >900mbps. Prime, Hotstar, Apple TV all work fine
4. I have tried Spectra’s DNS as well as Cloudfare and google DNS with similar results
Looks like spectra is either throttling some traffic, or there are serious routing optimisation issues causing poor performance for some websites.
I have seen the sane issue with other Spectra connections at my neighbours. Airtel works fine, but I don’t want to switch to Airtel at this stage as I don’t want technicians entering my home.
Do others also face similar issues with spectra? Any tips on how to solve this?
