Good News Bought Airtel Xstream Fiber Black (Fiber + IPTV) connection with AOT-5221ZY (wifi 6) ONT

[TheAndroidFreak]

Fun apart, I booked the connection through Airtel service person, not sales person. So he came with the best possible device they had on stock.

This is worst possible ONT. Zyxel or something. You will face lot of issues because of this. Shift to Nokia/ZTE as soon as possible.

Congratulations @Bapun bro

In short words, Airtel IPTV HD channels picture quality look good (not best) and SD channels picture quality look poor compared to Jio STB SD channels. I think they are compressing too much to save bandwidth or something.

Yes bro, if u use this box in 32 or 24 inch tv pq is good, from above 32 inch tv pq is low only,iptv box pq is less only compare to dth xstream box, Yesterday I had reactivate my dth xstream bro,given ip tv box to my brother, he's most of time watch ott app only

With my new connection, I got 7 x Rs. 100 coupons that can be used one by one each month as a part of Airtel Cricket offer.

Airtel Cricket offer details: Breaking - Airtel Cricket Offer: Get ₹700 off with new Airtel WiFi

Off topic : Why can't Jio implement this . As there is no credit card discount like airtel at least they should give discount coupons like this. As per this you can get both credit card and coupon discount every month which saves ₹350

Can you also compare ping in meter.net/tools/world-ping-test/

I just did the test for you.

All the Cloudflare powered websites are working fine?

Yes, they are working fine on Airtel Fiber similar to Airtel 4G/5G network.

Also, can you also check your download speed on Epic Store on PC?

How do I check that? I don't play games, so I don't have any idea.

It's the "andho mein kana raja" situation. (T: one eyed king among the blind)

I am aware of the issues the ONT has, however, like I said in other thread, only Dasan ONT was available apart from this so I had to opt for it.

Once Nokia or something better becomes available, I will replace it.

Yes bro. The poor visuals are noticeable on above 43" TV screen TV screens. My TV is 50" so I could spot the poor picture quality on SD channels. It's manageable though. Better than the analogue cable TV days. #PunIntended

Jio is aiming for more profit and new customer acquisition only. I doubt whether they would ever provide such coupons.

Thanks. So, for the most part, JioFiber is having better ping than Airtel Fiber for you - and even after that, browsing experience is better. Amazing Jio! Guess their DPI tech is the reason behind it.

Weird how Airtel is giving 25 ms to Dhaka but 53ms to Mumbai. Is it same for other Mumbai servers too? Try testing few in Speed test app when you're free.

I don't think you will want to do it then. For this, you need to install Epic Games Store on your PC and then download any free game to check speed. Guess that would be too much to ask for.
