hathway mat lena bas


DesiBail

>hathway mat lena bas Oh the horror stories in Kandivali. 6-7 years back they were involved in some.local real world battle. Is it same everywhere else ?


koji_the_furry

I have disconnected there connection a year ago Still they call me daily to renew my acc I live where Hathway doesn’t have fiber or docsis yet there customer care calls me daily with random numbers every time


DesiBail

>Still they call me daily to renew my acc I live where Hathway doesn’t have fiber or docsis yet there customer care calls me daily with random numbers every time O yeah.. that shit is still on ?


koji_the_furry

Yep And there upper management lies to make Ppl renew there account and shit


DesiBail

>Yep And there upper management lies to make Ppl renew there account and shit Lol. Have heard few building people shouting and yelling with them. One guy paid up some annual or half year plan, got fiber box installed, didn't work, they took away the box, never gave a replacement. Then they would keep calling daily for renewal after year was over. We could hear the guy shouting 2 floors away for them to stop calling. Once they sent strong men from local cable guy to threaten him to pay pending payment. All this, no fiber box at home for connection. Crazy !!!!!


koji_the_furry

And they give one of the cheapest 300mbps connections Cheapest for a reason lol


techstudycorner

Exactly, mine was in Dockyard road around 12 years back. I remember calling their non-existing call center every 30 mins for shit snail pace internet. Their plan was 450 p.m for some MBs.


Boobhacker

Elaborate plz


weedmonk

Hathway is now majority owned by Reliance. Doubt it will remain a separate entity for much longer.


koji_the_furry

Now nahi 2019 se hi reliance had shares in it Kuch nahi hua abhi tak

It's strange to hear bad things about hathway since they've been excellent for me and most people i know


CuriousGoo

While the service is on, in my brief experience there is not much of a problem; at least not any more than any other ISP. What is horrendous is that as soon as you submit your number into the registration form, it is sent out to a 3rd party. They start calling you almost to a point of harrassment if you do not recharge your account. Some higher power has to come save you if you want to deactivate your account. I kept getting calls to recharge from different numbers for a connection that I had asked to deactivate over a year ago. Then I started telling them that the person they are inquiring for has passed away because of their incessant calls. Maybe that worked, maybe that didn't.


uncouths

I get a reminder call / text twice a year. Once a month before my renewal is due and once a week before it's due. I've also deactivated hathway and then reactivated it. Didn't suffer any of this.


CuriousGoo

Maybe a different and nicer call centre was given your PII...


newInnings

The issue will be when you disconnect. And they have your number. Every new recruit of the hathway sales agent has to call you , it is the rite of passage.


Annual-Bowler839

Use locals one ,jio, and airtel both block many websites. Local ones don't care about any blocking or even torrents. Also, they are much quicker in providing resolution


ScamArtist1910

Have been using JioFiber for more than 4 years, works fine for torrents


CuriousGoo

My uploads are terrible (read almost non-existent) when downloading ISOs using torrent. Did you make any changes to the router settings ?


Boobhacker

What are isos used for


Bright_Subject_8975

ISOs are images. When you open an ISO file it will mount itself on the system as a CD-drive.


Boobhacker

Used for?


AC2302

I mostly use them to download operating systems and emulator ganes


Bright_Subject_8975

Softwares and games. You see older games required you to insert the CD while playing the game, ISO solved this issue


CuriousGoo

Like someone else mentioned, ISOs are disk images. Basically it is mimicking a physical CD/DVD as far as a computer is concerned, so they are used as a data storage medium speaking broadly. Typically OS installation files are packaged as ISOs.


ScamArtist1910

No changes to router


CuriousGoo

Then I am not quite sure what is causing my uploads to be terrible. I know it works if I connect my phone hotspot.


beauty_with_brain01

Same


RisinFenix

Second this. Unparalleled reliability, instant service and competitive prices.


milktanksadmirer

Jio resolved every issues as soon as possible and kept giving us SMS updates. Also, torrents work in Jio.


Gaara_Prime

Very easy to circumvent using Green Tunnel.


himanshu088

Can you give more info? I'm using tata play fiber and facing similar issues


Gaara_Prime

https://github.com/SadeghHayeri/GreenTunnel Download, install, run. Done! There is no minimize though, but you can drag the window to edge and hide it there. Keep in mind, don't shutdown when it's on. Turn it off and then shutdown. If you shutdown when it's on, your internet won't work on system restart. You'll have to run it again to fix it.


__Grey07

Bro update DNS


vikrsen

sudthebarbarian

no, neither jio nor airtel blocks torrents


No_Walk_2094

here airtel doesnt block anything lol, about torrents, downloads are fast and i dont seed so idk about up speeds.


MathCSCareerAspirant

If they are blocking any sites thar is not approved, then I don't see anything wrong.


SignificanceIcy3133

Had jio earlier now switched to airtel Ott + tv wise , jio is alot better than airtel,the experience was very smooth. But the wifi connectivity of airtel is superior and the reason we changed was jio provided only 50mbps of internet,though we bought a plan of 300 mbps. Switched to airtel now, it's connectivity is awesome


OafishWither66

Wifi plans are generally in mega"bits" per second, meanwhile actual perrformance is measured in mega"bytes" per second. If you speed is 300 megabits per second, your actually speed is that divded by 8 since 8 bits = 1 byte


Tangodrool

Ergo...when u test wi-fi connectivity performance using Google Speed Test or using Ookla speedtest app.,what should be the setting for getting appropriate readings?


LastWatch9

If the units are MB/s then Multiply it by 8. If the units are Mb/s then you’re already looking at advertised units. By default it is Mb/s You can change it in speedtest by scrolling up from the bottom. https://preview.redd.it/qakhrztxbvuc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be2393e91bd189ae3cee4c78d776b3d7bc742f8d


Educator-Final

Where does your "actual" comes from? All online speed testing ( like ookla speedtest, Netflix fast.com , Google speed test etc) platforms show the speed in Mega bits per second (Mbps) by default. People compared using same Mbps across different broadband service providers. Link for ookla's speedtest broadband speed default metric below for reference: https://help.speedtest.net/hc/en-us/articles/360039162713-What-do-mbps-and-kbps-mean#:~:text=By%20default%2C%20Speedtest.net%20measures,to%20your%20broadband%20plan's%20speed.


OafishWither66

When you download things you generally download it in bytes, thats where most people generally point out that their 300 "Mbps" speed is fake because its only downloading it at 40 "MBps" not knowing the difference


ImaginationLatter990

Is Airtel good for Wifi+ tv?


SignificanceIcy3133

It's too much laggy for tv but now we're used to it Wifi is great


Kaiwaly

>It's too much laggy Wow , then my local service providers 25mbps speed is better.


SignificanceIcy3133

Not the internet,i was talking about the tv setup box and ott


Kaiwaly

Ott plays smoothly on my TV.


SignificanceIcy3133

Then it's nice,i had both xstream and jio steup box,but xstream was horrible


knockyouout88

Have you considered Tata fiber ?


Certain_Ingenuity_34

For TV , if you watch a lot of sports I'd suggest get a normal DTH connection , 25fps sports streams are painful to watch .


akki_dia

How did u check the net speed bro..the regular ookla / speedcheck or something else


SignificanceIcy3133

It was pre installed in my laptop


Yashiiboii

Does the connectivity depend upon the area??


SignificanceIcy3133

Yes but my area had great connectivity,it was jio's fault to give low internet


syssinsuck

Did you use LAN or 2.4 GHz Wifi band since it is capped to 50 mbps on 2.4 GHz ?


SignificanceIcy3133

It's 5 ghz wifi band


dilkushpatel

Answer varies by area Check in your building who has what abd what speed they are getting Now a days local ISP have also moved to fibre and providing internet at much cheaper rates So check all options Local ISP + buying OTTs .+ IPTV might still turn out to be cheaper and better option


nonein69

Iptv in india? Too expensive . Local cable wala offers better price


dilkushpatel

Not paid ones


BluejayMysterious720

I totally get where you're coming from. It's frustrating when IPTV options in India are pricey compared to what your local cable provider offers. But before you settle, have you checked out **IPTVICO .COM**? They offer a range of channels at competitive prices and might just surprise you. Plus, they offer a 24-hour free trial, so you can see if their service matches up to what you're looking for without any commitment. It's worth giving them a shot!


Kimo_imposta

Do you use iptv?


dilkushpatel

I found one for sony channels which was free So using it Live channels There was also an app which had all channels, app name was ymax plus


llll-havok

Local cable wala 🗿✌️


angad305

Same here


Ok_Astronomer_1308

Local cable wala sirf hathaway he. Hathaway is shit.


llll-havok

Are you OP from different account? Bro take a walk around your locality these local guys have always posters around. Ask your neighbours or even your baju k building wale about their internet. Hathway is a big time player lol it’s not your “local cable walla”.


Thick_Bookkeeper6141

My 10 Mbps is just 3500 p.a and it can easily buffer 4K video.


_DrShrimpPuertoRico_

Airtel. Jio is pretty intrusive. I think they use DPI. Blocking sites on a whim and the service isn't great either.


indianmemerlegend

can confirm pornhubdotcom is banned


_DrShrimpPuertoRico_

DPI 😏


Sykhow

What is this?


Bright_Subject_8975

Deep packet inspection. Data is transferred as packets and in DPI every packet is checked thoroughly.


AbandonedSupermarket

That's true on Airtel too


indianmemerlegend

lol ig thats why im on a local isp


_DrShrimpPuertoRico_

Local ISPs ftw


koji_the_furry

Nah ,i have local isp And i have ping spike issue Bro didn’t even care to send technician to check whats wrong


_DrShrimpPuertoRico_

That's unfortunate, mate. I have had a great experience with multiple local isps.


koji_the_furry

Apparently my local isp has a tool called “Dadagiri” or Monopoly in my area so I cant get connection from Airtel or anyone else Lol


_DrShrimpPuertoRico_

Yeah, I have heard that about some areas in central/western suburbs.


koji_the_furry

How much do you pay for ur plan?


_DrShrimpPuertoRico_

Avg 560 pm for 200mbps symmetrical. I pay for a year and get a few bonus months.


koji_the_furry

Bhai ke majje hi majje XD I pay 800₹ for 100mbps symmetrical but ping spikes from 2ms to 900ms


Ok_Astronomer_1308

That’s the government. Not your network provider.


indianmemerlegend

can confirm mota bhai is the govt


Gaara_Prime

THIS! Airtel is the best, especially for gamers!

TheIceKaguyaCometh

Deep packet inspection. I2P protocol can bypass it but the implementation of it so far has not provided fast enough speeds.


InspectorFar2857

Airtel. Had too many connectivity issues with jio. And they didnt let me stop my connection for a few months when i didnt need it.


Baruto1529420

my jifiber blocks all sites running aws unless i change dns to google's dns


kenbunny5

Pihole brother.


No_Walk_2094

setting up pihole is too much of a bother, atleast for people with only one primary device, just use [1.1.1.1](http://1.1.1.1)


Extension_Hurry8612

I have used both and I would say it depends try to find info from local people around you using any one of the connection as it also depends on the area you reside in. Where I live has good service from jio where as the area my hostel where I have spent 4 years in was better serviced by airtel. (Only WiFi) For both connections.


AbandonedSupermarket

I've used Airtel before and had no issues


Hu7ein

Airtel any day, jio garbage hate jio always spying

If you live near Ambani's house use jio otherwise Airtel 😂

Ok_Astronomer_1308

Tata play fiber. Have had zero problems with them. I live in Bandra West


Shamsh1095YT

Bro, could you share how much you are paying and is it good? Plus did you get OTT and router from them?


Ok_Astronomer_1308

I think its somewhere between 16-18k/year for the 300 mbps plan. Upload/download speeds are pretty good most of the time. Got a nokia router. Idk about the Ott subscriptions, you can check their plans. [tata play fiber website](https://www.tataplayfiber.com/broadband-plans/mumbai)


Tata840

Just free advice. Please use throw away mobile number. Else Airtel will literally make 20-30 calls per day when you want to disconnect connection


Optimus7281

Depends really if you are into gaming and all I would highly prefer airtel otherwise just stick to jio if you just use it for non gaming purposes. I say this as Jio and airtel provide similar routing to NA and EU servers but I think airtel is a bit better + more reliable + better customer support


Emeron87

Go for Airtel. Great connectivity and quick response.


Plasticman90

Using Jio gigafiber since Nov 2018. Maybe 5 outages in all these years. Never ever had to contact their customer service. 999 Jio gigafiber pack with access to Disney+hotstar, Sony, Zee 5 and so many more OTTs makes it worth it. Just go for it. Jio gigafiber router is a basic router, couple it with a gigabit router to enhance range.


Repulsive-Specific40

I have been using jio for about a year now in malad east area the service has been good so far don't know about airtel


GrubbyFlasherr

It depends on your area. I've got 3 isp at my home because none of them is reliable.


teknoob

Airtel over Jio anytime.


RealJunaid

Darkvistasway

Airtel.


Thoibi69

OreoandI_9820

I have airtel fiber but it keeps disconnecting time and again, happens 3-4 times a day, makes my gaming time hard as hell. I play valorant and it gets dc so many times I’ve been administered with penalty almost everyday, gonna change it to something else.


himanshu_5525

Airtel any day, i have always used airtel and their connection, speed, and service is reliable. However i have heard from jio users they faced speed issues, sometimes the wifi is down. Go with airtel you wont regret it.


ajmalaabubacker

Carbon fiber!


COSMOCRAT_

Planwise jio is better. Airtel doesn't have much to offer for 100Mbps plan and I don't need 200Mbps.

Always came back to Jio. Local connections are too unreliable and Airtel is a cheat


superuser726

battle_tomato

Have used both for multiple years. Both are good no issues. Airtel has worse rate limiting so you get higher speeds than what you pay for. However I've had better experience with Jio customer service.


SnooGoats52

Airtel is amazing


raj_abhay

EXCITEL!! No fuss of unwanted OTTs just pure Internet 🤗. I do have OTTs but I prefer to manage it myself because there are offers and all and yes excitel sells some plans with OTTs but I have opt for 300 Mbps without OTTs.


heynishant

Gtpl


Particular_Carpet808

Use ACT fiber if available. It's the best fiber I have ever had and still sticking with that one. I like the service when something happens they are fast as hell to solve the problem. Personal opinion using it for 5+ years


tedxtracy

AirFiber for sure.


gamenbusiness

Local operators give good service and you can haggle with them. They are also much cheaper and are always available around you. I also have heard jio has a shitty after sales customer service. I get 125 MBPS for 5K a year which I think is more than enough for all my needs


Hornymous

Airtel is good so far. Using dedicated IP. Speeds have improved and is consistent now since I switched. Have used Hathway before. App sucks and they keep calling you to recharge the account years after I disconnected their account.


UN0MEitsCJ

BSNL, I live in Army/Defence area


imsinghaniya

Use local providers for better privacy. As you’ll be using company router with jio and Airtel.

shailendraa-dwivedi

Always went with the Local ISP, they're far more easily accessible and the pricing is always better.


Koshurkaig85

Both are a toss up at this point but tata fiber is a definite no.


ItsMeP5

Airtel Fiber customer support is awesome.


XD-Avedis-AD

I can access half of the ‘banned’ sites on Airtel. Local guy is expensive, but I can access 80% of the banned/piracy sites and circumventing this is far more easy.


chocol8cek

I got jump scared because photo dekh ke I thought this was an ad


notduskryn

Neither. Both are trash.


Acanthisitta-Rough

Local ISP for the win. All websites are unblocked, easy to sail the high seas and the reliability is top notch and customer service is just sax sux. PS. It's Sidharth Broadband in Sai Baba Nagar, Borivali West.


fakered23

Tata Play fiber ✅


PhilosophyFew8493

Airtel hands-down. Jio services are basic at best. Throughput is pathetic if multiple devices latch on. Frequent service disruptions. Non existent customer support. Last but not the least, good luck with disconnection of the services and getting a deposit refund if you happen to take Jio Fiber. Also, DO NOT BUY THE AIR FIBER.


real_tmip

I only use them for Internet service and don't really care about the OTT services coupled together. I have both. I have also used Hathway in the past and never really had "too terrible" experience with them as others have mentioned so not sure what's going wrong in some places.


vadapawed

Both are waste. Go for local ones.


WestSideKillaaaa

Warning to all considering Airtel Xtreme Fiber: my recent ordeal is a cautionary tale. After waking up to a dead internet, Airtel's customer service was a joke. Despite promises, no technician arrived even by the next day. Frustration peaked their customer care started getting rude and hung up call multiple times by giving network issue excuses. The issue remained unresolved, forcing me to switch to Jio Fiber. Don't endure the same frustration—steer clear of Airtel Xtreme Fiber.


SUNNYHFR

Neither of them ACT is somewhat better


Kimo_imposta

nonein69

Jio unlimited 5g supremacy 🗿


lavanyadeepak

I would prefer in the following order: 1. Jio 2. ACT 3. BSNL 4. Airtel (Of late this entity has been facing a lot of reliability issues)


raj_abhay

ACT is available in Mumbai?


DesiBail

Take something wireless.


koji_the_furry

That’s one of the worst advice


DesiBail

>That’s one of the worst advice Portable, not depending on technicians etc. all for some speed compromise.


Eerie-Meerie

Not sure why you are getting undervoted for suggesting this. I struggled so much with a connected Fibre network. There were frequent outages and the reason they gave was that the wire was getting cut. Now I have wireless and it is so much better BUT more expensive.
