Thread: Plz help selecting between airtel and relinace

Guys i am from kolkata.I am using airtel and getting around 117ms ping in singapore fragnetics server while playing crysis 2.Guys will switching to reliance give good ping.Can u ping test this server 203.116.28.13 and post your result.Any reliance user from kolkata plz help me.Does reliance give demo?

I understand that you are seeking the opinion of Reliance BB users. I am an Airtel BB user and I get 78ms while pinging to 203.116.28.13.

Thanks man.Those are very good ping.Then why i am getting such bad ping.In crysis2 while playing i saw some Indian playing it.I asked them which ISP they were using.Few were based in Mumbai and were using airtel.They were getting 70 to 80 ping.But mine is always high.What's the problem?Other than this airtel rocks, gives me speed of 280 to 290kbs download speed.I have 2 mbs plan.Top notch support.

Try setting the ADSL Modulation in your modem from ADSL2+ to G.DMT. It reduces latency by nominal amounts..

Thanks mate that really reduced my ping by small amount.But still no where close to yours.is there any side affect of doing this?

i do not know about airtel broadband becuase there is no such facility of airtel boradband in my city.

but i used it in bombay and other city it works greatly than reliance.

you can get bsnl 3g for better speed and ping also.

i am getting 110 to 200 ping.(it fluchuates) then also i do not lagg a bit.

@Pcgamer2010

I am sorry; I did not understand your query. What side-effects are you talking about?

I mean changing to G.DMT.Will this cause any problem.

Changing the ADSL modulation to G.DMT will increase the overall stability levels of your connection. Also verify whether you are getting connected in "interleaved". That can also increase the latency levels.

What is interleaved?Where i can find it?Are u also using G.DMT?I use beetle 110tc1 modem

Fast path and interleaving are certain methods with which the modem gets connected with the DSLAM. In short, fast path = good pings / lower latency and vice versa.

Yes. I am using G.DMT with my connection. Initially it was on ADSL2+. The connection was quite unreliable back then with frequent disconnections.

You may read about interleaving and fast path over Latency and Interleaving | DSLReports.com, ISP Information and ::. Kitz - Interleaving .::

I do not use the modem provided by Airtel. I use a D-Link router running on RouterTech firmware..

i looked through my option but couldnot find anything related to that.Can u tell me under which option that setting is located?If i buy a d-link modem will my ping improve?

The interleaved / fast path is set by the DSLAM. It takes into account the various parameters required to stabilize the connection optimally and selects either interleaved or fast path. In some countries, we can call the ISP personnel and ask them to set it manually to fast path. I do not know whether it is viable with Airtel BB.

I cannot comment on the second query because I am unsure whether changing the modem would alter the ping times..
