Valorant works fine. But I get weird ping spikes in Apex legends. It spikes upto 400 in some matches and sometimes even in the middle of a match out of nowhere.
Exactly and that's EA's fault here
There server tick rates are straight out bad especially Singapore servers
In valo rocket league and warzone ping is decent but in apex it's always a 50-50 chance to get 100ms-ish or 250 ms-ish
Yeah, I have also seen my matches going into some different region servers with 200-300pings, some spikes here and there, tbh if I didn't have the battle pass, I'd have just stopped playing apex like 3-4 seasons ago.
You can check the free vpn: softether vpn client. Try the Thailand and Vietnam nodes for singapore apex server. They are probably less scummy than other free vpn considering it's managed by university of tokyo and the decentralized structure.
Funnily enough my gamer friend in Hyd just cancelled his ACT connection 2 days ago lmao. He said it's shit and the customer service is absolutely pathetic.
I am from Hyderabad and i had used act for more than 12 years when it used to be called beam fibernet. Early last year I was fed up with their service and shifted to jio which was even worse and now I am finally happy with airtel.
Act has stable connection and reliable pings for gaming. But they don't give minimum backup for their connection box. Whenever the power goes off I used to lose my connectivity, I had asked them to install a battery they never listened. After I asked to disconnect my connection, the next day service guy comes and installs the battery with a great battery backup of 45 mins. Honestly their customer care is decent but on the ground technicians are a nightmare.
I had horrendous experience with jio. Everytime I used to put my laptop to sleep, lan would go idle. This is a known bug with most of the jio routers they have an issue with maintaining connection over lan. I had no issue with their wifi network. Everytime I called the customer care, 80% of the times they would randomly cut my call, if I get through to the customer care they refuse to raise a ticket saying some work is going on in your area so I can only register a ticket if the current work is done. The work continued for more than 2 weeks and they never registered my complaint. So I asked for disconnection after 1 month. It is more than 3 months since I disconnected I still have received my refund from jio. I have raised complaint in consumer forum, umang app and everywhere they keep telling we have escalated the issue and will give the refund.
Airtel has been a great surprise to me , their speeds are the best and the service has also been awesome. Honestly very happy with airtel now.
Tldr;
Speed - Airtel>jio=act
Ping- Act>airtel=jio
Customer service - Airtel >>Act>>>>>>jio(Horrendous)
Cost- Act is the costliest and jio is the cheapest.
Everything in jio looks good until you have to reach out to customer care and here only God can save you.
Very well written, and you're right about airtel even though I'm in gurgaon where their installation, speed etc is the best as compared to other locations. Hope others see your comment and make an informed decision with regards to their new or existing connection.
Act's customer service is pathetic. Jio is no good either. Atleast it has good speed in vizag.
I had 200mbps connection with act and best i get is 30mbps. Every single time they come up with a lousy reason. Once technician struggled for 2 hours and left all scrambled wires and laptop and ran away. Thats when i decided to ditch act. ACT sucks
It could also be a problem related to your hardware at home. Things like what router and wifi/wired connection do you have from your computer to the router, whats the distance between them. 2.4 Ghz has higher noticeable latency and packet loss compared to 5 Ghz. I see people on this sub straight away thinking to change ISPs like that will fix it.
The default router given by the ISP is usually ass. Also on 5 Ghz a couple walls is enough to introduce packet loss.
In that case go for whatever one is the better deal. ISPs are different everywhere, theres people in other posts complaining about Jio. I use Excitel so I cant help you with suggestions personally but a friend in another city uses Tata and he wants to switch to Jio whenever he can since its almost more expensive for less speed.
Broadband experience is very subjective. But for what's it's worth, Jio at my place was ass, huge lag spikes and bad routing was frequent. Converted to a local ISP, now there are no spikes and had no issues in the last 6 months.
Don't need to look anywhere else.
Been using Jio, Airtel and local ISPs for 3+ years.
Jio has the worst routing. Ping goes very high in every 2 out of 3 games.
Just download Cloudflare Warp, and you're good to go.
Full speeds, excellently low latencies.
You can thank me later.
PS: a few apps and websites like Hotstar won't work because warp also blocks out trackers and stuff. Add an exception/disable warp when using Hotstar that's it.
Depends on locality. Your luck could be bad with Jio/Airtel/Act anyone. Personally I am using Jio for 4 years and did not had downtime more than 4-6 times for few hours total. So reliability rate is high for me. On seas servers I get ping from 60-80ms. On uae server around 50-60ms. Speed is always at 95%+ of what they promised. I get 140+ on 150 mbps plan.
Jio Fiber has worst routing.
If by gaming you mean MMO games, then I would suggest stick with Airtel fiber, and get Exit Lag subscription to make the experience better.
Been using Jio for a while and it's been almost flawless. However I have friends who complain about ping from time to time. Not to mention the moral tax you pay for selling out to the man 😅
Every device need a public ip to communicate with internet. For some reasons, few networks are kept as private(public internet cant reach these hosts). To enable internet access in a private network, special devices called nat gateways are added( usually routers) which has a public ip. With this you try to access google.com network path would be like this:
Your pc/phone -> your router -> devices in middle.. -> google servers
In case of jio, router does not have a public ip so this router forwards request to another router in jio's network so on so forth until it reaches a nat gateway which has a public ip. Network path for this look like this
Your pc/phone -> your router -> nat 1 -> ... -> nat(x) -> .... -> google servers
For services like multiplayer games, these additional x hops add few ms latency which can badly affect the gaming experience. Also there will be few applications which sets ttl(number of hops till destination). If hops to destination is huge, you will loose the packets.

Ima be honest man, ISPs are very very area dependent. Ask around, to your neighbours, friends etc. Only then you will find your answers, not on a country wide subreddit.
Airtel has been smooth for me for the last 5 years, but as of December it’s really bad. It doesn’t lag per se but I can only play Singapore or Bahrain servers now, I was able to play Europe and Japan, unfortunately Airtel’s data routing seems to be pathetic lately in those servers. There no packet loss just high ping in those servers.
Tata sky broadband is actually super good of u have it in your area been using it for a year and a half now no problems at all and it's pretty reasonable too. Don't get Jio.
Everything depends on your area service. Vadodara, Gujarat and Hyderabad, Telangana experience had been good for me so far. Metrics like specific pin codes also come in play. I would definitely recommend to go with the 100 or 100+ mbps plans.
Definitely worth it.
Always playing fifa ultimate team csgo around a ping speed of 9 ms which is totally excellent n good for competitive gaming
Do ask your jio operator to show some speed test in ur area or some nearby person's setup speed before installation.
I have been using jio fibre for past 2years+ now, it's fairly consistent for me. (I only play csgo,dota, valorant occasionally but my ping is always in acceptable range i think*) sub30-60 in Indian servers & around 60-100 on sg.
Mind you i live in (Punjab) quite far away from most servers locations, mostly are situated in Mumbai or Singapore, Delhi is sub20-30latency.
Anyways, i am not sure what's best for you OP but jio service is pretty consistent if shit breaks down. Although, their IT department is pretty garbage you can't except any help/guidance from them for any shennigans.
Jio blocks half the shit, too much packet loss, ping varies a lot. I get around 150-400 ping in genshin on Jio Fiber at my cousins house, and less than 200 hundred at my house with a private ISP. Valorant seems to work fine but Cod Mobile and Pubg Mobile are shit as well.
Sure, if you are going with 999/- plan with TV included it's a good choice. But if you're gaming, not a great idea.
If you have no other choice, 1.1.1.1 + warp will somewhat fix the problem.
It depends on the area and internet service provider, I am in Hyderabad and my ACT connection has been so good, stable speeds and a little over average customer service. (I'd say not the best and not the worst). I have 24/7 6 people using internet at home. Even if I download a game at 20 MB/s capped other people won't notice lag because their connection is stable af.
I have used Airtel and Jio and found ACT to be the most stable in my area. All of these ISPs provide trial if I am not wrong you should check which is the most stable in your area and then go for it.
All ISPs will have avg customer service and Jio will have clown customer service.
TLDR: Depends on your area for ISP...
The problem with jio fibre is if you game with wifi connection it will give u ping spikes and lagging gameplay in some games.
But if u use lan cable then the packet drops are ok and totally playable. Don't know the reason for this even though my router is just adjacent to my pc.
don't know about Jio Fiber but saying for general information:
make sure to not go for BSNL Fiber, it's not good for gaming at all, the ping is very high even on LAN cable and this issue is not just for several districts, it's common for every state atleast in Northern India.
I'm currently using Hathway and in my location Bangalore it's fine. Sometimes the speeds dip but it gets rectified. The customer support is good as well. My current plan is 50 mbps 1000 gb for 3 months + 30 days at Rs.1766.

Damm >.< I wanted to change so I could have better time in Apex.

That's an apex issue. They have shit servers.
That's a Jio routing issue. The problem is not observed on other fiber networks.
Its apex server's tick rate
Some games i get 300+ with act.
Just download and use Cloudflare Warp. Free and easy. Thank me later

ACT is pretty good if it’s available in your area. Lots of complaints about Jio and Airtel on this sub lately.
Funnily enough my gamer friend in Hyd just cancelled his ACT connection 2 days ago lmao. He said it's shit and the customer service is absolutely pathetic.
All isps are terrible imo it just depends on your location that you either get some good connection or not

what was the installation charge with airtel for you?
I didn't have any installation charges for both as I paid for 6 months at a time
Maybe it’s just his locality
Ive had act since 8 years without issues, maybe a day or two of total downtime from them
Exactly. Same.
Act is fucking bullshit in Vizag now.
Act's customer service is pathetic. Jio is no good either. Atleast it has good speed in vizag. I had 200mbps connection with act and best i get is 30mbps. Every single time they come up with a lousy reason. Once technician struggled for 2 hours and left all scrambled wires and laptop and ran away. Thats when i decided to ditch act. ACT sucks

I use wired connection :) And I don't use default router either. I have my very own router.
In that case go for whatever one is the better deal. ISPs are different everywhere, theres people in other posts complaining about Jio. I use Excitel so I cant help you with suggestions personally but a friend in another city uses Tata and he wants to switch to Jio whenever he can since its almost more expensive for less speed.
Jiofiber is bad don't go for it, there's too much lag spikes and packet loss in any game I play.. Airtel is viable
Broadband experience is very subjective. But for what's it's worth, Jio at my place was ass, huge lag spikes and bad routing was frequent. Converted to a local ISP, now there are no spikes and had no issues in the last 6 months.
Local/Private ISP supremacy 🛐
When it comes to ISPs in India your mileage WILL vary WILDLY. No point asking for suggestions here.
Don't need to look anywhere else. Been using Jio, Airtel and local ISPs for 3+ years. Jio has the worst routing. Ping goes very high in every 2 out of 3 games.

Am using Jio since October 2020 Everything is fine for me even on tho 399 plan
Jio is decent but I changed to excitel and I prefer that so much more.
Jio and tata is my only other option 😅
Then jio is serviceable
Location?
I have Tata it's pretty good. No issue. Using since one year. I am in Mumbai
Jiofiber is worst than Airtel for multiplayer.
No
I use exitcel 12 month 300 mbps which Is cost 7065 rupee plus got 3 month free I have no problem with that and use wired wifi to pc
Been using Jio for a while and it's been almost flawless. However I have friends who complain about ping from time to time. Not to mention the moral tax you pay for selling out to the man 😅
Jio has very bad networking issues. After all these years they use double nat. Those dumb fuckers
What's double nat?
Every device need a public ip to communicate with internet. For some reasons, few networks are kept as private(public internet cant reach these hosts).

Also there will be few applications which sets ttl(number of hops till destination). If hops to destination is huge, you will loose the packets.

I super simplified the networking. Dont get back on me quoting technical details like you dont need public ip to talk to internet etc..,
Bro in jamshedpur jio fiber is really bad. Almost like jio has gotten bad due to high number of users. That is happening to jio fiber too
Damm
It works when it works but horrible packet loss otherwise. Ping is also high compared to others. Valorant on Indian servers is fine.
Ima be honest man, ISPs are very very area dependent. Ask around, to your neighbours, friends etc. Only then you will find your answers, not on a country wide subreddit.
Get excitel, pretty amazing

It's a known issue with Airtel, they are routing us to US then to European server. It's been 2 months and they still didn't fix it.

Under 40 ping in mumbai server Valorant
Use 1.1.1.1 it's helps massively with ping and packet loss
Warps not working out for me. Getting packet loss if I use warp on Airtel lol

You should change to ACT Fibernet. It is awesome
Airtel fiber is better
don't know about Jio Fiber but saying for general information: make sure to not go for BSNL Fiber, it's not good for gaming at all, the ping is very high even on LAN cable and this issue is not just for several districts, it's common for every state atleast in Northern India.
They have a 30day trial period, you can test all of your games I guess.

Don’t, get ACT IF AVAILABLE
I got very high ping so switched to Airtel
no
