Hello!

I am currently using JioFiber, and I face issues in web browsing every other day. I often have to disable IPv6, or use my local ISP for browsing peacefully. Airtel seems to be planning to start their services here soon, and while I can just go on and try them, I don't want to waste much of my time.

So, I was wondering - what's your experience with web browsing on Airtel Xstream Fiber (not AirFiber)?

I have noticed that mostly, the problems happens with sites using Cloudflare CDN - such as OnlyTech. There have been times when it impacted some other websites too, but that's rare. How have been your experience with sites like OnlyTech which are using Cloudflare free CDN? Also, where are you routing from? You can check that by opening this link - in "colo" section.

Also, which has better routing in your location - Airtel or Jio? From what I have seen, Jio seems to be having better routing here. However, the person who is having Airtel Fiber connection thinks I am a hacker or something and will hack his internet if he runs "ping google.com", so you can understand that I couldn't ask him for much, and everyone else with broadband connection I know is using JioFiber here. So, I am pretty much in the dark about Airtel broadband experience here.

So, please share your web browsing experience with it. If you can, please compare it with JioFiber too. Also, please mention your state at least, since I have seen some people mentioning that even JioFiber is having decent service in South Indian states.

Thanks! 😄
 
I would say stick to Jio Fiber and your local ISP for the time being. Airtel is not really in a good shape now. Many changes happening in their backend so you might get something good but may also cause some issues in some other cases. So let them settle a bit they are expanding too quickly to cover as much as possible.
 
In my area (city - patna) jio fiber web browsing experience is better as compared to airtel fiber. Airtel fiber (currently i have 1gbps temporary connection) have 1-2 ms ping in local server but still they lag on every 2nd websites. On other hand jio have around 16-17ms ping on wifi and 7-8ms on lan on local server but still it works better most of the time. There is only few times when airtel fiber works better than jio fiber.

Airtel fiber (here score is high due to 1gbps speed plan).

Jio fiber (scores less due to 30mbps plan)

(if you want i can run ping test on any specific ip server).


Cellular network is just opposite of this, jio 5g and 4g is very slow in browsing but airtel loads faster even in slower speed.

@AftabIN How about routing with Cloudflare CDN powered sites like OnlyTech? I have read that it is also as bad as JioFiber... Can you check from which co-location you are usually routed from in Airtel and Jio?
