Requested for a connection on 21st Jan referred from @varkey I live in Kasturi Nagar Bangalore. The sales guy was really cool to answer all the questions i had and even connected me to his technical support for the questions he didn't know the answer to.
They initially told me it would take 5 days for the cable to be installed and activated but as i was only moving here on saturday so got my cabling done on saturday and the guy called me up on sunday for activation but i was not available here so i had to reschedule for monday and then after few calls they installation guy showed up on monday evening.

Okay got my connection on Monday (28th jan) the installation guy setup the D-Link router (setting up ONT and everything took around 15 mins )which i then replaced with my Netgear R6800 (had to go to 1.254.254.254 to login register a new CPE as i changed my router my internet took 2-3 minutes before it started working) Youtube , Netflix , Google Drive easily crossed over 500 Mbps with Google drive actually giving me a pretty stable 700 Mbps.
While speedtest to Spectra bangalore server gives me 700 down and 800 Up.
@kevinkeller @Absinthe @varkey all of you mentioned that spectra is capping torrent speed i too initially got 10 Mbps on ubuntu distros and on well seeded private torrents but connecting to a VPN running on my gigabit vps gave me 300-500 mbps
but then while downloading one of the random public torrent my speeds were above 500 mbps.
I changed the router for testing and registered it as a new CPE my IP changed and i screwed myself now its again limited for 10 mbps nothing i do is fixing it! but still the specific public torrent is still giving me full speed with no caps
Now I used my old pentium dual core laptop as a Ubuntu server and ran a rtorrent instance on it (the server is DMZ'ed in my router with a static IP) and i can access the server remotely (also speeds on rtorrent isn't capped for both public and private trackers) i used ports above 4000 and all seem to work even plex works great and is remotely accessible. even SSH and FTP works but had to use uncommon ports as i couldn't portforward 21, 22 , 80 and 443
Downloading multiple files from multiple sources (2 from finland , 1 from google drive, 1 from US ) yielded 780 mbps at average and 860 mbps peek speed.
i'll post new updates below.
