YOU Broadband's horrible routing causing high latency and slow speeds. (Pune)

@whonamra Try VPN

 

[whonamra]

@Nitin Why?

 

[GR2]

@whonamra It may fix the routing

Hello, I just bought YOU Broadband and I'm from Vadodara, Gujarat. I have been actually horified by YOU's routing. Which tracerouting Mumbai's server, the packets are going to Delhi first than Mumbai which is costing extra 20-30 ms ping which becomes significantly high in Singapore servers. I bought fiber just so that I can play Faceit as I play CS:GO a lot. But, I have been getting less ping in my mobile network (Airtel 4G) than YOU. Here is the visual traceroute to Mumbai Valve servers.

Someone help me solve this issue.

From past 1 week my traffic was routing through Airtel AS9498 and speed and ping were great, but now im back at shitty Vodafone AS55410, speed and ping is now again shit. If YOU Broadband start using Airtel AS9498 permanent then all problem will be solved but i don't think so as YOUB is owned by shitty vodafone.

 

[Rhishav]

Yes. Vodafone is shit in terms of pings. Airtel and Tata are generally better.

How do you check if it's using Vodafone line or Airtel?

@whonamra Based on the output of traceroute, it can be inferred which upstream is being used. If you can share a traceroute/tracert to broadbandforum.co , I can check and let you know.

@swapneelp Here's it.

@whonamra Youbroadband is using AS55410(Vodafone) as their upstream based on the traceroute. You need to remember, the path can change depending on shortest path, cost, traffic engineering etc.

 

[whonamra]

@swapneelp How did you figured that out?

 

[pswapneel]

@whonamra If you check the traceroute output, the first hop is your router (192.168.0.1). The second hop is Youbroadband using a shared space address(100.67.0.1). Unlike private IP address space which one uses in a network (For example 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0, 192.168.0.0) the shared space is reserved for network operators(ISP's).

The 3rd hop(203.187.193.1) is AS18207(Youbroadband) router and finally, the 4th hop is 118.185.43.222 (AS55410 - Vodafone).

Hope this is informative.

 

[vishalrao]

@swapneelp Yes, but how do you come to know that third hop 118.185.43.222 belongs to Vodafone? Is there some place to do a lookup?

Why some ipv6 address info is not available. For eg g2600-1417-0075-0000-0000-0000-17d4-ff08 ip's info or location cannot be found.

@philip Use colon instead of hyphen.
