Discussion Combining Airtel Fiber & Jio Fiber connection links together

Did you use a load balancer router like before?

Also @Bapun I was thinking about using a smart switch with VLAN in between and separating each ISP to the VLAN thereby getting full potential. How's the idea though?
It was just for speed test purposes or to check things out. I'm not using this setup for actual use. If I intended to, I would have used something more stable like a dual WAN router, a load balancer, or a different setup.

Breaking Railwire New Plans

Plans are tweaked in my opinion as far as I found with addition of new super packs, moreover currently there is no 449 priced 100Mbps plan pack unless LCO specifically franchising it. @Aahi_Ent

Unified Payments Interface (UPI) - News & Updates

India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) experienced its longest downtime in over three years on April 12, lasting approximately five hours due to banks flooding the system with excessive transaction status check requests.

According to the National Payments Corporation of India's (NPCI) root cause analysis, the outage stemmed from a critical technical oversight - the absence of a transaction status check limiter in the system's architecture.

Sad News Flipkart has now introduced an 'Offer Handling Fee'

Agreed bhai! They are only passing the charges onto us customers. Wrongful tactics.
Thanks. In future, they will increase more but as it's their business, i hope govt should watch out this. In other countries like US and European, e-commerce and watchdog are sticky interfere and put rules and policies to safe customers from wrong tactics. In our country, only gst implement on these company which doesn't make any sense as money is going to govt hands for roads and development but later these companies use excuse to put more hidden charges fee in their order bill for us. In end, An average customers suffers.

Good News BSNL launched IPTV in Andhra Pradesh

It's a mess then. When so many networks are bundling the plan with OTT and IPTV, these BSNL guys out of the race to retain the customers. I will wait till this month end , if they do not provide IPTV service i will switch over to other networks.
Airtel guys spoke about IPTV here around October month last year and predicting a launch by Jan. Now they have implemented and running the revised packs. These BSNL illiterate guys said they have launched IPTV and keep on advertising on social media and their website and still the service is not available to everyone. When I ask customer care they simply redirecting to visit the nearest exchange. Are they living in the vintage era? I am totally disappointed.
I am also thinking of switching to Jio AirFiber. But will wait for a month to decide

Discussion Ola Electric Scooter

It was once the Indian start-up world's shining star, but Ola is now battling a multitude of crises.

That's the cost of trying to grow at a rapid pace without getting the basic framework ready

Discussion Jio Fiber service experience in 2025

Due to severe windstorms where I live, recently my Jio Fiber connection (outside) wire got tangled. While the connection was not disrupted, I wanted to keep the wiring tidy for a seamless experience. So I placed a call request from Jio Care using MyJio app.

Immediately, I got a call from the Jio customer care associate. I politely explained my issue to her, and she raised a service request with the reason "Wiring Rework". She confirmed my preferred time slot and scheduled the SR for the same day.

My SR was raised yesterday morning, and an engineer visit was scheduled in the evening. However, no one appeared during the scheduled time. Then, at around 7:30 pm, I got a call from the engineer. He apologised for not attending it and said that due to excessive overload of AirFiber related work, he missed the appointment. He further assured me that the next day (today) morning, he will attend my SR first. I said okay.

This morning they (engineer + wireman) visited my place and did the work very professionally within 30 minutes. 🫡 I offered them some water and cold drinks before they left. 😀

While working on my SR, they were explaining to me that AirFiber is unstable at most of the places and customers are raising many service requests daily for this. Furthermore, the Jio Gold Pass offer, where one can get Fiber/AirFiber by paying nothing or only Re. 1 for 50 days free trial has increased new connection orders which is also a factor for delay. Hence, they are getting overloaded with work. They are waiting for the IPL season to be over so they can get reduced workload. 😅

As they noticed, I have got an Airtel Fiber connection too, they were asking me which one works better, to which I said browsing experience is superior on Airtel and internet speed is better on Jio. Kind of neutral response, I know! I also showed them the Ookla speed test comparison between both where the results were neck to neck. 😁

Overall, the service experience was good for me. It's understandable that due to AirFiber related issues and ongoing Jio Unlimited offer, the service people are getting excess work, and hence, sometimes delays are happening. (y)
