True, excitel is good only if your LCO is good otherwise one may have problem. But I never had issues outside of peering also.

Excitel has got cheaper.

Six months have passed since the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) issued a notice to Internet Service Providers (ISPs), directing them to declare unauthorised Optical Fibre Cable (OFC) connections in the city. With no steps toward regularisation in sight, low-hung cables have continued to pose problems to the citizens.

Airtel and Jio fiber still didn't have 50-60 Mpbs plans in their portfolio, They need to bring them at the similar pricing as BSNL had it.

Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Company Limited (TGSPDCL) managing director Mushrraf Faruqui on Friday, August 30, directed cable operators and internet service providers to remove unnecessary cables and other items from electric poles immediately. The power department head said that failing to do so will result in action against them and that it will remove cables on its own if the instructions are not adhered to.

In our area, we have ACT Fibernet, Airtel Fiber, and a local broadband provider called Shah Network. ACT Fibernet stands out with its excellent approach—they avoid using electricity poles for their hubs and instead install them at various houses, compensating homeowners with discounts on their broadband plans. Unfortunately, Shah Network and Airtel continue to use poles, leading to a lot of mismanagement. The poles are cluttered with dangling wires, which not only look unsightly but also cause frequent disconnections. It's a positive step by TGCPDCL to demand the removal of these problematic wires, as they are causing significant issues for many residents. I know Musharraf from his time at GHMC, and I’m confident that under his leadership, this initiative will be executed effectively.
