I've been getting very slow speeds (under 3 mbps in local speedtests, even lower actual downloads, when normally it's 30-40 mbps for me) since the day before yesterday in Pune near Wanowrie/Hadapsar area - anyone else facing speed issues today either in Pune or elsewhere?

I called the customer care and pinged the twitter account and as usual they are either clueless or have their hands tied to avoid giving out any info. They just opened a network team support request and told me to wait for 4 days to resolution.

I'm trying to figure out if it's just me facing slowness (been 3 days now) due to maybe smartbytes topup problem or my home router device gone bad, or if there are other folks with slow downloads as well.

Speedtest website seems to be picking far off places (like Indore or Kolkata) as default locations for "local" servers, and I get public IP in 27.xxxx instead of earlier 106.xxxx range, so maybe something is borked in the network - hope it's not another "submarine cable fault" or some other major issue which will take a prolonged time to fix.

If it doesn't get fixed ASAP my weekend will be ruined and I will be forced to step away from my PC and go outside and experience nature for a change :D
 
30-40Mbs ? :wideyed:

Dont think i've got past 15-20 and upload around 6-7Mbs.

Not five bars though, littles less.
 
Yeah, I'd say overall average (whenever I look) I get around 20 mbps for regular downloads, approaching 40 mbps with torrents. I have 65% signal strength (3 out of 5 bars) on my device :)
 
I don't know if my luck has run out, what with the slow speeds for the last few days. I'm hoping it's a temporary problem and these biatches haven't decided to clamp the speeds intentionally.
 
So this problem has been ongoing since the 11th (been 10 days now!) and intermittently (I've been checking everyday once in morning and evenings) the speeds would get restored but then drop down again. Apparently this has been a more widespread issue (technician didn't tell me how widespread) and today got a message asking me to check the speeds, so far seems back to normal, but fingers crossed it stays this way. They say it was "network issue" and "we have solved it now" :)

TEN FREAKING DAYS !!![DOUBLEPOST=1463926193][/DOUBLEPOST]Even getting 25-35 mbps results on the new fast.com website!
