    Excitel Broadband - Comprehensive Review - 5Mbps - SDSL - Unlimited - no FUP

    Multiple updates. (1) First of all, as @r19 mentioned, the internet tariff has been updated. To begin with, all existing 5 Mbps connections have been upgraded to double their previous capacity, i.e. 10 Mbps and for this, the customer would need to pay just Rs. 40/- extra. I mean, previously...

    Excitel Broadband - Comprehensive Review - 5Mbps - SDSL - Unlimited - no FUP

    An update: Recently, due to prolonged rainfall, I encountered packet loss and intermittent disconnections on my Excitel internet connection. I registered a complaint at 011-33138963 at around 7:00 PM today evening, and the issues have now been fixed at 9:45 PM; there's no packet loss anymore and...

    Tixati* :) Sometimes, usually only during the night, Excitel's maximum speed (augmented) exceeds 20 Mbps, although that's just an occasional occurrence.

    Excitel Broadband - Comprehensive Review - 5Mbps - SDSL - Unlimited - no FUP

    There's no trick there. If you read the first post of this thread (and many others in this thread) you would find out that Excitel allows augmented speeds on YouTube / HotStar / TorBox.net and a few other places. Therefore, lets say normally I pay for a 5 Mbps connection, I would get 5 Mbps...

    Hi, These are the settings that work with Excitel: The service name is especially important, as without that, you wouldn't be able to connect to the internet. By the way, the service name is also case-sensitive; everything in lower case.

    @manmath As suggested by r19, above, simply call the number stamped on the pamphlet spread out in your locality. @raxy This is a cable based internet, a modem is neither required nor can be used in conjunction with it. No modem (nor a router) is supplied along with the normal connection. That...

    Excitel Broadband - Comprehensive Review - 5Mbps - SDSL - Unlimited - no FUP

    First of all, I can't seem to edit my first post within this thread. I wanted to update the "cons" section. There are a few that were noticed later on: Anyway, as far as your questions are concerned: 1) The 5 Mbps plan I'm currently using (and all other plans viz. 10 and 20 Mbps) are...

    Excitel Broadband - Comprehensive Review - 5Mbps - SDSL - Unlimited - no FUP

    Of course, packet loss isn't acceptable, and the magnitude of the problem intensifies wherever work/official/business use is concerned, which it does, I reckon, in your case. Well, something definitely seems odd about your situation, since I'm encountering no problems recently on European nor...

    1. Try calling even later if possible (and if still required), possibly after 12:30 am or even 1 am, just to be sure. It might have just been a matter of luck in my case, though. 2. No, you don't need to change your login credentials. Although you may be able to do that via the Excitel's...

    1) As I told you before, DON'T call the 801-xxx-xxxx customer number. You might as well set fire to your bank notes instead of wasting money calling on that number. 2) You either try to call again on the number stamped on the pamphlet (supplied in the first post of this thread), OR try calling...

    Hi, Well, their customer care number is busy / unusable for a major part of the day, so I'd suggest you to call on either the number stamped on the pamphlet (again) OR, try calling on this number: 011-3313-8963 and choose option 1, i.e., sales. You might need to pester them to get some...

    Hi, Its been a whole month (Feb) since I've been using Excitel. Things have been great so far. Compare the data transferred between the months of January and February (Jan = MTNL, Feb = Excitel): Furthermore, there are a couple of other things worth mentioning about Excitel's internet, that...

    Airtel has suggested TRAI to reduce post-FUP speed to 64kbps

    Chortel, as I call them. Why am I not surprised.

    It will cost you Rs.750/- for the 5 Mbps connection. For other plans, just calculate 114% of the listed amount to get the total amount.
