Good News Jio is upgrading eligible AirFiber customers ODU with AirFiber Plus C6 UBR ODU free of cost

[Skye]

If I want, I can get Jio AirFiber Plus/Max connection because the tower is straight visible without any obstacles. But since my location already has Jio Fiber (OFC) feasibility, chances are low that I would ever opt for AirFiber Plus.

Yeah, you even have Airtel Fiber. I don't think you will ever need AirFiber Plus.

The main issue in airfiber max is that the ubr device basically the C6 device which is linked up with the A6 APs, they are all WiFi-5 with 8x8 MIMO capabilities. WiFi 5 supports MU-MIMO ONLY in downstream and not in upstream. Also OFDMA isn't there and a lot of other things too. WiFi 6 has it all. So basically, if more than 10-12 connections are connected with one A6 AP and they all use it simultaneously, some of them won't even get their basic plan speed of 30mbps. For upload part, its gonna be worse. Tested this exact theory with my tplink archer C6 (wifi 5) and asus rtax86u (wifi 6). Placed both of them side by side for simulating extreme interference condition. Assigned totally diff channels to both of them (36 for TPLink and 149 for Asus) and even decreased their bandwidth to 40mhz (i know not ideal for 5ghz but took every isolation steps possible). Even then, when i simultaneously used both the connections, both of them slowed down to a crawl even though both isps are diff (Alliance and Jio). Next, i tried the same thing with the jio airfiber router and the asus router. Manually changed the 5ghz channel on the asus router as jio doesnt give any control and in this case, the ping and speed fluctuations were negligible and most of the times, both connections were unaffected. I have noticed this exact issue in my C6 connection too. Near my home, there's at least 6 other airfiber C6 connections (excluding mine) and during peak hours, many times the upload speed gets severely affected. Tested Jio 5G speed from my phone during that time too but it was comfortably giving around 400-500mbps. Hence congestion issue on A6. Wrote an in-depth article about it too. If anyone;s interested, i can send

My location (Pincode: 500088) is near to Jio tower with A6, however ODU is still not upgraded. Kindly help, waiting from last six month’s

after c6 upgrade my internet slowed down less than 20mbps (actual plan 100M) , i raised complaint through myjio last week still it is not rectified, is there anyother option to fix it soon?

Yeah.... don't expect them to give "extremely 1Gbps supported" experience with this C6x and C6 lol. My bandwidth test gave me max to max 650Mbps DL and 325Mbps UL on a completely unused A6, since everyone is on fiber. The good news is, this C6x and C6 has support for Lower 6GHz, aka, 5925-6425MHz. Jio has now changed it's mindset and went from against 6GHz delicensing to endorsing it, as it will benefit them. Now they are advocating for increase in outdoor 6GHz TX Power, so that they can enable this on their A6 and the C6x and C6 can sync with it easily.
After August 15th of this year, expect the 6GHz to roll out oficially, and Jio using the 6GHz band for "True 1Gbps speeds", blah blah blah.

Still due to penetrative power limitations of 6 GHz and also solely 6 GHz band can do a max of 1.5 1.6 Gbps in a perfectly controlled environment and as A6 C6 distance will be nowhere near the distance I tested the 6 GHz band on my phone and router (hardly 10 15 feet apart) I highly doubt that the link speeds gonna cross 700-800 mbps. Im my airfiber c6x device, link speeds were around 780mbps approx

well that is the thing, for long distance 30Mbps speeds (99% of AF users), 40MHz is perfectly fine and they can attain much larger distance coverage with 5GHz, even 2.4GHz will work, but upto 30Mbps ONLY. I don't think this AF Plus is really feasible, unlike the 5G version, which you place anywhere with even 1 bar of 5G, and still expect reasonable web surfing experience.
As for the link speeds, I think 2x2 is too low for C6x, should have been 4x4 in big 25. I have the AXE95 and tested on my AX411, the speed is horrendous than my 5GHz DFS lol, soo I just turned it off.

Yea and also noticed that whenever my asus router used to opt for the channel used by A6, ping times used to rise from like 5 6 ms to 20 30 ms even though this router was connected to my fiber broadband. Now with manual channel selection on 5GHz on the least crowded channel available, its stable. Yet another reason why airfiber plus is detrimental to overall user experience. Also another use case of 6 GHz

My bandwidth speed is 80m download 20m upload , connected at around -73 -75 dbm

heinnn? how and who proceeded with this installation?
