The local internet operator is also offering "fibre". I think it's 40mbps 500/month. I wonder if it's same one that excitel will contract to?I have excitel. But excitel is LCO(local cable operator) based. Everything is handled by them, all CC does is forward tickets to them.
If your LCO is good, you'll have a good experience, if they are shit, then you'll have a lot of problems. Most of the negative excitel reviews you'll see on review sites is due to shit/unresponsive LCO.
Don't go for multi month plans, not worth it to be stuck with a headache for 12 months. Buy 1 month and buy longer packs later.
Try to push for dumb onu modem and use your own wifi router. Their onu+wifi combo device is not very good.
Only negatives for me is no static or public ip available(can't even purchase, they simply don't provide) and no ipv6 yet. Experience has been good so far.
Take a look at ACT if its available too.
if ACT isn’t available, better to go with local operator than bigger ones like Excitel?If he is smart enough then he can brand the operator to provide best service.
I used den and they have me great service for years as i had dropped an email to their MD complaining appeared issue s at night, then onwards they made sure to priorities my connection..
Since March I have switched to kanton ( fiber) as the local supervisor lives in saje building and again great service.
Best is go for act and if you find any issue straight away shoot mail to higher authorities or bring in govt of India via pgportal, believe me you ll be taken care of like a baby then onwards [emoji6][emoji6]
Excitel doesnt have a sub 100mbps plan. Either its his own internet or splitting out another excitel connection. Best to take actual excitel connection.The local internet operator is also offering "fibre". I think it's 40mbps 500/month. I wonder if it's same one that excitel will contract to?
I'll ask if ACT is available there? Is it better than excitel?
Choose any plan that suits the guy.Excitel doesnt have a sub 100mbps plan. Either its his own internet or splitting out another excitel connection. Best to take actual excitel connection.
Also, FYI, prices mentioned on excitel page are without taxes. I pay ₹1060 for the 899 plan.
I personally use 40mbps 499 airtel fibre plan which works fine for me and is very stable for me here in Noida.Choose any plan that suits the guy.
While installation make sure to check speed using us UK servers on speed test, in front of the guys doing installation, if the speed comes as advertised then fine, otherwise ask them to optimise the connection and remove restrictions on international speed, which generally it's the case
Then make the payment, they're aren't many options if airtel, jio, act aren't available, but he had to bend them to provide decent speed and service
The difference you are talking about has to do with speed or stability or both? Does Excitel suffer from frequent outages/disconnections?I would say go with excitel or any local internet provider, but switch to airtel or jio as soon as it is available. I live in ghaziabad(part of NCR), I have used excitel fibre and now I am using Jio fibre. The difference is massive when both are compared.
First is speed excitel fiber 100mbps would give you about 100mbps but Airtel fiber 100mbps give more than 100mbps(guaranteed)The difference you are talking about has to do with speed or stability or both? Does Excitel suffer from frequent outages/disconnections?
my friend can live with lower speeds but stability issues will be problematic for him.
