So....
Due to my local ISP dude not able to provide me a stable connection even though one line-of-site bridge dish device has been mounted on my roof (got a mast installed), reluctantly I will have to migrate to Airtel. Yea, their plans are pathetic, and have no pure unlimited plan, and all plans are capped to 512 kbps for upload.
I have a few questions:
1. Are torrent clients throttled.
2. Do they keep ports open on the line(s) for UDP to work. Specially 6881-6889 so handshakes can be done on torrent clients. (Can they open ports upon request for singular users, or can users do this themselves).
3. Do they allow Vidalia Bridge circuits on their ports.
4. Do they allow BOINC application to work seamlessly.
5. Is the login through a page or PPoE or there is no log in at all.
6. The FUP limits, are they actually accurate as per their switch throughput readings. Will my adapter readings (at my end) match theirs or be approximately the same.
7. Do they disengage the FUP clutch seamlessly when the billing cycle re-initiates each month.
8. Does the FUP activate accurately and how immediate is it, once the threshold bits are breached.
9. Do users actually get the promised UL/DL speeds or in the approximate vicinity to what was chosen for the initial activation.
10. What type of Wi-Fi radio router would I need. Will the standard RJ45 input device work, or I need one with a modem in built capability, the RJ11 cable dock type.
11. Will I be able to access the modem settings, or will they be locked out to the end-user.
Hope someone can answer these questions. I reside in South Delhi, and would be keen to hear other pro/cons about Airtel aka: Failtel.
Thanks...!
