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

    Hi, I've not been able to post any updates for a while, due to lack of time. I will do the same (and respond to the new replies also) in the near future. For now, an important update: Excitel now supports online payments for the monthly renewal of your internet connection, therefore, there's...

    Yes, I did. Although the ping times to Garena servers were bad, when I tried it. In fact, EUW had a lower ping than Garena servers. I think I was playing on the Singapore Garena server, if I'm not mistaken. I used to get a ping of 150 there. Another thing to note is that back when I used to...

    I don't play CS:GO, although I do own it on Steam, and neither do I play any other games you mentioned, except for League of Legends, which, if you play on the EUW (Europe West) server, you get a ping of about 120-130. Although I've stopped playing now, due to lack of time.

    Trust me on this brother, (im laughing while posting this) I've seen some really trash tier LCOs. Oh my god, some of them are so bad, seriously. I've seen their "repair guys" performing repairs on DPs (Distribution Panels) on electric poles ... one of them was so technically incompetent that...

    I've experienced the LCO - new ISP combination situation for several months until now, so I speak based off of my experiences and findings. Your comment on the other hand, seems like a non-serious response, more like a hunch, based off of guesses and assumptions. That, along with the initial...

    The deciding factor with such ISPs is your LCO (Local Cable Operator). If you have a good LCO, one which manages and maintains its local network properly, you wouldn't have more downtime than maybe 15-30 minutes on some odd days, spread out throughout the day, not all at once. So maybe a...

    Well, I have never heard of any cable operator so far, which would charge extra for maintenance from the customer, for a service which they are already getting a cut off of, from Excitel. Did they tell you about this when you signed up for the connection? Or did they introduce this extra charge...

    Hi, I suggest calling them directly on their new, toll-free, customer care number, which is: 1-800-419-0616, as that is probably the best way to reach them. I'm assuming you have used web methods for now.

    No, the amount to be paid to the local cable operator is exactly Rs. 800/- for the 10 Mbps tariff plan and no more. Did you avail for anything else from the cable operator, which might be attributed to the extra Rs.100/- ? Also, haven't you asked your cable operator what the extra hundred...

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

    Yes, I witnessed that kind of a speed, recently. By the way, this makes me pity those who are still stuck with the likes of ChorTel. I feel people in India either don't need a lot of bandwidth, or they are satisfied, even though they are being fleeced. Indians need to learn to vehemently react...

    No, and I've updated/edited my previous post for it. By the way, you don't even need torbox to get the augmented speeds (20 Mbps) for you ... You can simply use TPB or KAT or other similar torrent websites, 80-90% of all popular torrents are already cached and therefore, most torrents will run...

    First of all congratulations on getting the Excitel internet connection! And, what exactly happens when you try to access torbox? EDIT: It seems torbox is down, i.e. the website is down, did it get taken down or something? I'm not updated on the same, so I have no idea about it.

    First things first. You should read up about Networx, install it and learn how to use it. This is an extremely useful software, which lets the user monitor his/her own connection and does several things, including real-time speed monitoring, usage logging, graphs and more. It also has a super...

    Well, thanks for clarifying that. I intended to indicate the ease of accusing someone of something, especially when used in conjunction with supporting oneself's weak arguments. Either way, I've already suggested about the possible actions he/she can undertake, which are explained in my previous...

    Are you an agent of rival ISPs who is being paid to post "generic, poorly worded negative reviews" as your FIRST POST in a forum and that too without any proofs whatsoever? See what I did there? Anyway, nice to meet you, and to answer your question, I'm a customer (not an employee as you...

    Obvious troll reply, laughed hard. Even though you have posted no proofs to verify your claims (since this is your first post), and your post qualifies as a "he said, she said" post, I'll still try to help you. 1) To begin with, you don't understand the meaning of Mbps / MBps and the like. "10...

    1) No, I haven't yet purchased a static IP from them. But I'm looking forward to getting it in the near future. 2) Getting a static IP is easy; you can either call their new toll-free customer care number 1-800-419-0616 or, you can contact your cable operator for it. Response of your cable...

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

    Basically ALL of the newer and most of the medium-old torrents are cached on ALL PUBLIC trackers, so you would get 2.5 MB/s (20 Mbps) on almost all of the relevant (according to time) torrents that you might need on all public trackers. Private torrents are obviously not cached, because they're...

    Is my prepaid number safe If I don't make any calls?

    Hi, 1) If a user receives an incoming call does that count as "usage" or would it still be considered as a non-used number? 2) If a user receives telemarketing calls on such a number and receives such calls (as mentioned in #1), will that qualify as the number being used? (The connection...
