Routing seems really bad, from Airtel Fiber Bangalore, MTR shows BLR->BOM->BLR, and 25ms, which is crazy for being in the same city.
Ok please share the trace route with me in message, we will check it.
Please also check latency from our Mumbai DC to your location: 103.191.133.3
I don't understand, internet services in India are very expensive? There is only 100G traffic. I am very interested in network services in India, but I can't find a cheap provider.

Verification Document
We ask for a government-approved document for verification. For our Indian clients, this means an Aadhar card is needed, and international clients can use their passport. Additionally, you'll need to provide a selfie, which will be taken securely by our trusted verification partner, withpersona.com.
This has been already discussed. Why you being an petulant ?
Who discusssed about this? So what's conclusion?
I have seen this offer and kyc first time.
KYC verification is mandatory in India for any datacenter or Hosting provider. We use third party app withpersona for KYC verification.
Bandwidth is bit expensive, how much bandwidth you will require. We can work on it
What a joke 🤣🤣 . Don't know who ever buys a hosting from these selfie companies. Few years back a incident happened with one of my friend he bought a server from these selfie companies in india and police knocked at his door few months later. officials here have very less knowledge of cyber things and will always blame you if anything happens without listening to you. As per my friend he only sold few cpanel hostings to business in his locality which were normal tranditional business and can never do any cyber things. It was the hosting company fault who do not have any proper security or firewalls and their end and when things happened they handed all the adhaar and id proof to the officials and police knocked at my friend's door. So better use aws, vultr use their 1 year free trial with just one otp verification . Do not fall in these adhar selfie scams
Kindly check ultahost they are providing unmetered bandwidth in india with premium web werks dc @ 5-6$/mo
What is "adhar"? So, they scam you of document and than do illegal things with it? Could you please provide real example for that? News article etc.
Adhar is a national identity card which is unique for every individual and your fingerprints and iris scans are linked to it. The company was not very big the guy was just a very small host running reseller hosting from home so no news article. But what these companies do is they immediately share these individual details with officials if any incident happens. In india things are changing now but we still have officials who are old school. if anything incident happens related to IT they first blame you directly and think you are some kind of hacker as shown in movies without listening to you. So better no share your very crucial documents with just random companies
Its marketed as a technological advancement and a miraculous tool of convenience to India's uneducated and poverty driven gullible masses and sycophants of the establishment in country's middle & upper class population.
But in really Aadhaar is a multi-pronged surveillance tool devised by the state to keep its population completely subservient in the longer run. Everything from your coming out of your mother's womb and your funeral and all things in between is to be recorded on and controlled via your Aadhaar UID. This includes your school & college admissions, your hospital visits and admissions, insurance policies you take, your bank accounts, your cellphone numbers, your driver license, traffic violations, the compulsory RFID sticker they put on your vehicles to track your travel through country's highways, air travels, your marriage, all your financial dealings, properties you own, all your shoppings, UPI payments which Indians use at every nook and corner of the country, to buy a cigarette or to pay their vegetable vendor. This is just to list a few. Its basically everything that you can think of is or will be connected & controlled with your Aadhaar UID which is a unique identification number with your bio-metric data attached to it (fingerprints & retina scans).
You have problem with Aadhar, India or small hosting providers? You just gave a company reference which is using Webwerks datacenter. Webwerks also do KYC.
In India KYC is in practice from more then 7 years, all clients do kyc without any issue and feel safe because they follow rules. Your Friend was selling web hosting but he was'nt doing KYC.
first of all they ask for the KYC (valid id proof ) which is compulsory from them otherwise they will not activate vps
here is the yabs from the vps which i purchased today

Anyone who is buying India based VPS, please get familiar with all the local laws and hosting provider logging practices required by the law.
The laws differ by country.
-- not a legal advice
-- just sharing my opinion
https://www.livemint.com/news/india/aadhaar-data-leak-massive-data-breach-exposes-815-million-indians-personal-information-on-dark-web-details-here-11698712793223.html
This is not the first time data was breached. Earlier in June 2023, the Indian government had launched an investigation into a data breach after personal data of vaccinated citizens, including VVIPs, from the CoWin website was allegedly leaked via a Telegram messenger channel.
Read this as well --
https://www.wired.com/story/vpn-firms-flee-india-data-collection-law/
Laws require VPN operators (and Hosting providers) to collect and maintain customer information including names, email addresses, and IP addresses for at least five years, even after they have canceled their subscription or account.
I recommend using https://leapswitch.com/ im very happy with them @leapswitch
How long you and withpersona are required (by law) to keep these kyc documents and other details?
They also do Aadhaar based KYC for Indian customers. (Not sure if selfie is needed though)
Why AWS, VULTR, and other companies do not require passport copy or selfie picture?
It is clear that selfie is not a mandated requirement but a requirement set by your company.
No way sane person would give his metrics to india based provider... Holy moly that breach!
I dont know why Small vps and dedicated hosting providers here in india need kyc (valid id proof with selfie video) but I m having q dedicated box with ovh mumbai and they did not asked any id till now and even bother to call and verify the mobile number
Leap switch also ask for kyc valid id with selfie

Also before applying for driving licence in usa

Or if you have British passport be aware
https://www.wired.co.uk/article/uk-passports-exposed-data-breach
which data breach is much bigger
and who is responsible to keep aadhaar data safe?
