Railwire Broadband

[TigerKing]

We have taken Railwire services for our guesthouse in Hosur. However, I feel the services are too expensive. Maybe there is a lack of competition, but I would prefer getting 2 of the Jio SIMs and do load balancing.

Some 10 Mbps upto 60GB and then 1 Mbps or something. 1K monthly.

I pay for 10 Mbps UL in Mumbai @ 9K yearly.

Exactly.. I was saying same thing..
Also if you compare prices to some Government's MTNL or BSNL, its similar pricing.

Railwire offers 20 Mps + 100 GB for less than 1K monthly. Unlike ADSL, upload is also 20 Mbps.

No pay online option, yet. They want us to pay through LCO.

Anyone have problem with their shared IP ? I want to switch from BSNL 2mbps to RailWire 10 mbps, but i read RailWire share IP with other users and if any other get black listed, you see captcha on sites even get blocked from accessing sites.

Anyone know if railwire support IPv6 ?

 

[vivek.krishnan]

To the best of my knowledge, only Jio is supporting IPv6 - giving a public IPv6 address. Maybe ACT. But Railwire surely no.

It was very difficult a few months ago. I was getting " I am not a robot " check frequently. Things has improved greatly since. No issues for now.

How much did you guys pay as initial deposit / installation charges ? They are asking ₹ 4,000 in our area.

 

[vivek.krishnan]

5K here for installation.

BSNL is offering 2 Mbps post FUP speed for plans above ₹ 675. Why not Railwire ? Still stuck with 1 Mbps post FUP.

 

[meetdilip]

It is really sad that post FUP speed in Railwire is still 1 Mbps. Even BSNL ADSL offers 2 Mbps post FUP speed on a basic copper line.

Railwire is offering a festive bonus. Goodies like free night UL, extra GB etc. Hopefully, will happen with Diwali as well.

I got 30 GB extra this month. First i thought the cable guy upgraded me to 130 GB monthly plan, then i verified the package, it was same old 100 GB per month package.

 

[meetdilip]

Which plan ? Is it festive season in your area ?

 

[BestGameNews]

I am on 20 Mbps plan, that give 100 GB bandwidth (kerala). This month i got 130 GB bandwidth. No plan change, i am not sure about availability of festive plans, i don't see anything on web site. I am fine with 100 GB bandwidth, last month even after downloading some videos i had like 30 to 40 GB bandwidth left.

 

[meetdilip]

You don't use Android studio, do you ? Such a bandwidth hogger.

 

[BestGameNews]

lol, no, i have android studio installed, but i never get to learn it, so it is sitting there doing nothing. When i get railwire, first month i buy 2 games from steam used up all my 100 GB, i can't keep doing it as i still need to finish first game, mad max, then start playing shadow of mordor.

 

[meetdilip]

For me, YouTube is taking a lot. With good speed that Railwire offer, it streams atleast with HD resolution. Nothing less. 1 hour is taking 1 GB.[DOUBLEPOST=1506452147][/DOUBLEPOST]

so it is sitting there doing nothing.

Their updates come in GBs.
