Folks in Bangalore, I need some help in choosing the next fiber connection here in Bangalore. I currently have a JioFiber connection, but off late I've been seeing dramatically increased pings in PC and console gaming. This is not an issue on just one or two games, but a lot of them.
I thought it could be a device issue, but I've tested it out on games in a laptop, an old gaming PC and a brand new gaming PC that was built just a week ago (a post coming soon on this BTW once I'm done buying all peripherals)
Speed tests do not show any issue. Speeds are 300 Mbps and above, and pings also show relatively single digits as well.
Then I took my laptop to a friend's house who has JioFiber and there I could not see such issues. I registered a complaint, technician came and visited but couldn't see any problems with the router. Thus I decided to end my JioFiber connection.
Which now brings me to the available options in Horamavu. I'm willing to pay anything less than Rs. 2300pm (incl GST) for a connection:
Airtel gets its edge through the bundled IPTV channels and OTT offering.
How's your experience been dealing with service requests lately on ACT and Airtel? I know ACT has been really good when I had it in the past, but want to see what people with Airtel have to say.
Had ACT also provided IPTV or bundled cable, I would've really considered that, but Airtel's IPTV is really attractive too...

- <There are others too like Hathaway and Excitel but I've heard pathetic reviews about them, especially Hathaway so don't want to consider them>
