Yesterday AIrFiber IDU got red light indicator meaning Internet is down. Untill today morning it was red itself, i was a bit surprised. Lateron i rebooted the device and upon booting it turned white light indicator and internet was working fine again.

Anyone knows why such an issue occurred and faced something like this happened

So Ping/Latency now further reduced to 20's levels.

Slowly Airtel AirFIber is matching with Fiber stability.

Talking about AirFiber in general, Jio AirFiber Plus (C6 UBR antenna based ODU) connections provides even lower ping like 5-10 ms on their AirFiber connection. But the stability is not great or equivalent like Jio optical fiber. You can check our forum user reviews to confirm the same. Similarly, any AirFiber service has their own cons, one major con is the 1 TB data cap compared to 3.3 TB on Fiber.

Btw bro, as you have already got Airtel Fiber (optical fiber) feasibility on both your office and home, I don't think you should care much about the AirFiber stability. I would say, better to disconnect the Airtel AirFiber connection as soon as your already paid term is over, unless you want to experiment something on both connections side by side (and having extra money to spend every month – J/K ). It doesn't make sense to keep both Fiber & AirFiber from the same company at the same location considering they are generally connected to the same nearest OLT/tower.

AirFiber can not and would never match Fiber in terms of stability/reliability. It's just a cost cutting product to get returns from the 5G investment. Once towers get overloaded, both the operators would again shift focus towards optical fiber. This is not only my opinion but also the whole telecom industry's prediction.

Yes bro, you are right. I am disconnecting AirFiber this month end.

Before disconnection, i felt I should expirement a bit as it wont be possible later on after disconnection.

Whatever tests i am doing is not for me, but for those who wish to go and get AirFiber connection installed in the absense of a proper FTTH ISP in their locality. I know what it feels like when u do not have big players or even stable local ISP out there.

Airfiber is good for those who live at a location where optical fiber facility not available. Also good for those who live in a rented house (like me).
