Railwire Broadband

Is it an ulterior plan by the government to restrict piracy or something? Otherwise how to explain the ridiculous 512 Kbps speed?
Babus think 512 kbps is ultra high speed (they are 50-65 year old people). All they do is browse facebook and use whatsapp to forward crap.

They have increased the FUP a lot. That itself is a good things. Post FUP is 512 Kbps, but that is only if you run of GBs

Can someone using RailWire post a speedtest result with "IBM Cloud" to see what international speed you get ?

To change speed test server, go to

Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Click "Change Server", then enter "IBM Cloud". Now run a test and post result.

Since BSNL come with "Fibro Combo ULD 1277"

Broadband Internet Service on FTTH

I switched from RailWire to BSNL. I feel like BSNL have slighly slower ping than i used to get with RailWire.

One reason i switched was i used to get only 19 Mbps on RailWire Speed tests. I done a speedtest on a BSNL and see 50 Mbps speed, so i switched on BSNL, but after switching, i still get 19 Mbps on my end, later found out it was due to my Router settings.

Here is a speed test from BSNL to "IBM Cloud" server (10.40 down/14.62 up).

Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

Test with local Airtel Server (45.97 down/87.95 up).

I'm on Railwire 999 plan. 100mbps upto 350gb. I hope they increase the limit.

Can you check ping to sgp.valve.net on bsnl ftth?

Thanks for the speed test.

You getting full speed (93 Mbps up/down). For some reason my download speed is capped arround ~50 Mbps on 75 Mbps RailWire and 100 Mbps BSNL plans.

Your 81.21 Mbps Down/13.31 Up for US Server is great. I always get ~ 10 Mbps download for USA servers.

Here is my Singapore speed test (21.53 Mbps Down/69.15 Mbps up)

BSNL have good route to Singapoor servers. They route through VSNL chennai. For rest of the traffic, they route through Mumbai servers.

For some reason my download speed is capped arround ~50 Mbps on 75 Mbps RailWire and 100 Mbps BSNL plans.
Try changing firmware of router. In mine I had an issue of 50mbps capped on an older build of ddwrt. Flashing a beta build fixed it.

Are you getting full speed if you connect without router?

Which router you are using ? Never used ddwrt, planing to get a DDWRT compatable one when i buy a new router.

I am on TP Link TD-W8968 V4 (Firmware Version: 1.0.5 Build 150504 Rel.57027), i will check if any firmware available.

Are you getting full speed if you connect without router?

I will check it tomorrow.

Can you port forward on bsnl ftth? Can't on railwire.

Yes, BSNL you get public IP, so you can do port forwarding. RailWire give private IP, so that is not available to public. This is one reason i wanted to switch to BSNL, now i reliase i don't need it :)

Also you can get static IP with BSNL for INR 2,000/- exra for INR 1400/- plan, for railwire you need to be in INR 2,000/- + plan to get static IP.

Can you post a ping/traceroute to IP 98.137.246.8 ?

Average 272ms.

That is same as BSNL.

Code:
17 packets transmitted, 16 received, 5% packet loss, time 16004ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 272.280/273.903/274.907/0.861 ms

Look like for some reason both BSNL and RailWire have more ping to EU servers. 250+, Reliane Jio i get below 200 ms ping, but it being 4G too much ping variations.

Is jio fiber available in your area? What about Kerala Vision internet? (Assuming you are in Kerala)

No, i was saying about Jio 4G connection, not FTTH. I don't think we will get JioFibre any time soon as my area is remote location, Jio will first focus on bigger cites.

Kerala Vision - i was thinking it was same as RailWire. I think they are the one that made deal with RailWire, that allow small cable operators to distrubite RailWire.

Kerala Vision has its own broadband service also. Recently launched 50mbps full unlimited at 1049. Check with your local cable provider.
I want to check pings on it before switching.

How is your RailWire speed today. I switched to RailWire today (75 Mbps plan, i asked for 100, but got this, maybe change next month).

This is first speed test. Get very good speed.

Speedtest by Ookla - The Global Broadband Speed Test

After this i never get this speed, for some reason, i am getting lower speed like

Not sure if rain/flood affecting railwire net speed. I am using INET ONU, connected it directly to PC using RJ45
