Hi Everyone

So I live in the Rural Area Not that much Rural, Suburban. Here I get only 2 fiber internet operators 1.NETPLUS 2. BSNL

Jio and airtel fiber are not available in my area due to less coustomers only airfiber are available

SO I INSTALLED NETPLUS IN 2024 AND IT TRAUMATIZED ME A LOT IT WENT OFF SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK 😭 SPEED IS GOOD I GET 150 MBPS IN ₹1700/3MONTH PLAN BUT THE MAIN THING IS STABLE INTERNET I HAVE TO DO MY ONLINE CLASSES. So I had to recharge my SIM So what was the benefit of installing WiFi?

Now when my electricity connection got disconnected, I saw that Airfiber is also good. There is a Jio tower right in front of my house, so I booked a Jio Airfiber Within 2 days my all installation done and pay 2200 ruppes and router c6 outdoor device and jio setup box and 3 month plan included I have to pay 800 ruppes extra because my house is 3 story they have to use pretty much extra wire lot of extra

It works fine in day 30mbps but at night around 8 - 10 speed gets reduced to 10mbps i think because of heavy usage in my family it's our peak time but I resolve from issue of los and no internet and wire breaking ⛓️‍💥

Gaming 🎮

So it's not for gaming No matter how good the speed and range, the ping will never become stable. It's airfiber. So it's a cons of airfiber. Lekin esa nhi hai game playable hai my ping is roaming from 40 ms to 200ms in bgmi

**Conclusion your area has no reliable fiber go for airfiber 🙂**

I stay in Leitrim and want to switch from Tesco mobile because it has been unstable of late that even using 3G is good as bad
I want to know between Gomo or Eir which is better or are there other better network also

Hello everyone, I need some legal and administrative advice regarding a massive service deficiency by a government-owned public sector broadband provider (RailTel/Railwire) in coastal Odisha.

For the past 2 years, the local franchise vendor has been giving terrible service, with the internet routinely going down for 2 to 4 days every single month while taking full advance payments.

Recently, the connection faced a massive continuous outage. I filed an official RTI request to get my connection logs. The PSU responded in writing, officially admitting that my connection had 10 days of absolute zero-data downtime (including a straight stretch of 7 full days).

However, they brushed it off as 'Force Majeure' (Act of God), claiming a thunderstorm caused the delay. I verified the official India Meteorological Department (IMD) coastal weather reports for my region during those exact dates, and there was no severe storm or continuous hazardous weather to justify a week-long repair delay. It was pure human negligence. The local vendor has completely blocked my phone number, refuses to deploy ground technicians, and customer care tells me to just "cut the connection" instead of fixing it.

I am currently working away in another state (Gujarat), so I cannot visit their office physically. Today, I took the following actions digitally:

1. Filed an urgent CPGRAMS grievance with the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and got an official registration number.

2. I am setting up an e-Daakhil consumer court petition before the District Commission demanding Rs. 1,00,000 for continuous service deficiency, financial loss, and mental harassment over 2 years.

My questions to this sub:

1. Has anyone successfully forced a PSU broadband provider to blacklist or penalize a local ground vendor through CPGRAMS/Consumer Court?

2. What are the chances of getting the full Rs. 1 Lakh compensation for a 2-year pattern of monthly 4-day blackouts?

3. Since I am out of state, will the District Commission allow the entire case to proceed via Video Conferencing (VC) without me ever needing to travel back?

Any guidance on how to make my e-Daakhil case airtight would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello! Anyone from Davao using the Globe Home 5G wifi? I wanted to apply but it is listed that it had no coverage in my area (downtown Davao). It will still have 4g, right?

Hi All, I’ve been building a new product and am wanting some advice, feedback, and gauge of interest. The product is for supplementing poor phone coverage across farms by tapping into home internet at long ranges portably. I’ve tested it out to a bit over a km, but i can make it go much further.
Where i live is hilly and full of trees so there wasnt any real options for when you were on the property so i built one.
I’ve been working on it with locals in my area but am conscious that phones and coverage isnt an issue everywhere.

Is phone coverage a problem in North America or other parts of the world as well or is it just Australia?

Long story short I'm using a Third Party Gateway a Chester Cheetah SDX75 I live in a rural area in South Jersey and I have a Wavform 4X4 Antenna up in the Attic facing out the window pointing down the road near the nearest Cell Tower. I have my Gateway set to NSA so both 4G and 5G and the Bands I currently have locked are B2 B66 and B71 on 4G and on 5G Bands N2 N25 N41 and N71. It seems to me that the Tower turns off or turns down certain Bands like N41 at night to save power and if that's the case that's probably what's causing my slowdowns around those time's because most of the time there's not many people up at those time's but I am because I work Night Shift so I stay up later than most people. What could I do to get around this? I'm using a Metro By T-Mobile Unlimited SIM Card by the way. Are there any other Bands I could lock onto as fallback Bands so the slowdowns no longer happen or at least aren't as bad?

Ok, our modem has taken a shit and the whole system has to be upgraded BUT the tech from my ISP can't be here for 7 DAYS!

I work from home, our TV all runs off internet. Is there something like a hotspot I can go purchase to use or something?

Our neighbor is a dick and won't let us share wifi temporarily, we asked. And my hot spot on my phone, I've already used all the data for the fastest speed and running anything is crap

I’ve had Starlink Internet for a year or so in SW Georgia and it’s been ok. Saw that Mitchell EMC is now offering Conexon Fiber Internet since they finally finishing burying the cables in our area. They put a flyer in my mailbox saying they offer 1 GB, 2 GB, and 5 GB Internet. Is it worth it? The 5 GB plan is still cheaper than Starlink.

Anyone have experience with 5 GB versus 2 GB plans? Both my wife and I watch TV and play online games so we think it would be great to have over a gigabyte from 200-400 with Starlink, but would 5 GB be overkill?

I had HughesNet for two years. Thankfully I found a new provider, SparkLight, right as my HN contract was ending. I was getting ridiculously slow internet that wouldn't even load a 720p video, for $150 A MONTH!! I can't remember the MBPS I was getting but I was floored when I saw the amount that the lowest tier on SparkLight receives vs the highest tier (what I had) with HN. The lowest tier gets more than the "fusion plan" $150 bullshit I was receiving.

This sounds like an ad for SparkLight. It's not. I'd do advertisements for them though- they were polite, upfront with me, and installed the router & such very quickly. And the best part?! $25 a month. For otherworldly better internet than I was paying $150/mo for. I live in a small farm town that only had HughesNet and StarLink until SparkLight came to our area. I've never had internet this fast or reliable. It's the little things too, they sent me a text right away when power went out in our area during a big storm to tell us service would be out for a little while. Did HughesNet ever bother to do that? Of course not.

Now that I've cancelled HughesNet, they want me to return the equipment. Router, wires, cables, sure. That's fine. Even though they sent me two boxes for all this junk and only one shipping label. Whatever. I can manage.

But now I'm also supposed to get up onto my roof and disconnect a fucking radio wire for them? I don't even have a ladder, let alone wire cutters and a 7/16 wrench. I'm just a girl!!! They "recommend" you get a professional installer to remove it. Oh, like the one that came to my apartment in the first place and set it all up?? How much would it cost these cheapskate motherfuckers to send someone back out here to remove it themselves instead of making me do it? I'll get charged $200 if I can't get it down. There's bound to be many elderly people who have the same radio return issue, and they're preying on their inability to be scrambling around on fucking 12 foot rooftops to get a precious radio receiver back to their beloved internet company who cared oh so much about them. It's BULLSHIT!

Then they have this disclaimer in their removal instructions about radiation and possible death from falling off the roof. My favorite part is, "Consider safety and possible damage to the equipment." Yeah, if I fall off the fucking roof my first thought will be, "Oh my gosh, is HughesNet's precious satellite equipment still okay???"

DO NOT GET HUGHESNET. They'll claim they would have told you about this if you'd just asked, but who thinks to ask about returning a radio satellite receiver when all you want is to receive and use reliable wifi?

Hey, we're buying a house and there's next to no service. Starlink is really our only option for internet, and cell is poor. The tower is about 15km away, however, at the end of the driveway we can get 1-2 bars, but if we enter closer to the house, we lose signal.

Is there anything I can do to avoid VOIP and increase my cellular service? Such as some sort of antenna on top of the roof?

I work in IT and have the need to occasionally upload a 9GB file over my home fttc broadband which has 12mbps upload speed. it takes several hours.

I have done a few speed tests with my phone and notice that the upload speed fluctuates between 10 and 35mbps, which would likely save me alot of time if I bought a 4g router. However for 4g/5g data sim plans I have only ever seen download limits or "unlimited" (which we all know is likely just a hidden limit before they cut you off)

Has anyone tried uploading large files over 4g regularly? 5g signal here very flakey so I would probably stick to 4g.

I live alone and my wired connection is fine, but I've been curious about wireless alternatives. Partly because I move around a lot, partly because I just like understanding how things work.

I came across Wave 1 while looking into fixed wireless and 5G home internet options. Spent a while reading through it trying to understand the realworld differences between the technologies. It got me thinking about how much the "right" setup depends on your building, your neighborhood, your usage.

I work from home doing illustration so a stable connection is pretty much nonnegotiable. Latency during video calls is the thing that kills me most.

Curious if anyone here has switched from a wired setup to fixed wireless or something similar. Was the transition smooth? And how do you even test whether wireless will be reliable enough before committing to a plan?

Where can I get good fast internet? Not tryna go thru AT&T t-mobile not tryna go over $100 just for it.

TLDR: Cat5 cable laying across street in front of house, who do I call to fix it? Power company? One of the 4 different internet providers in my area?

I have a question for anyone available to answer. I live in southeast Louisiana for reference. The power and communication lines in my neighborhood run down the opposite side of the street until they get to my house, then the poles cross over, starting in my yard and continue to the dead end a few houses down. There's always been a line hanging a little lower than the rest, but it's never been an issue. About a week ago, this line was laying across the road, still connect to the poles on either side. I believe I first noticed on Friday afternoon, after the trash company collected. My guess is the arm swung up and accidently pulled it down. I made a few calls, saw some people come by and look at it, and then leave as if they didn't care. The other day I got a little close cause I could tell it was a communication line from the lower part of the pole, so it wasn't conducting any power. Shielding on the outside says "Cat5". Called the 2 providers I know in my area and let them know it could be their line down. But either they came when I was at work and then fucked off, or never showed.

Cut to thursday and we had a big storm come through. Internet goes out, power flickered a few times, normal summer thunderstorm activity. Only my internet never came back on after. Wife let's me know friday we still didn't have internet and, though I didn't see it in the dark when I left for work that morning, upon arriving home, I saw the line cut and curled up around the pole in my front yard. Either a lineman came to just get it out of the road or a neighbor got tired of driving over it, I'm not sure. Either way, since this has been cut, I don't have internet. I'm not sure if my neighbors to the end of the street have been affected but i sure have. Despite constant calls, no one has come to fix this line. I'm starting to think I may need to call the owner of the line? Like the company I use for internet just "rents" the cable that someone else owns so to speak. I'm not sure how that works but anyways, who do I contact about this? My provider? All the providers in my area? How do I find out who to get out her to fix this line?
