Sed i think we should write to airtel about setting up a drop point near your location.
Yeah no ott and such but still a solid value if there's no one cheaper.
On a serious note though, you could file a complaint if they give you no reasons for not accepting your order.
Your friend got lucky then for private operators come to theri rescue. May be they accept if I pay for fiber cable, but thats costly. Like I have to pay for 5km may be.
Yes, it will be costlier in the beginning, but from what I heard last, it's gonna be Jio vs Airtel again for that. So, we might actually see decent prices due to the combination. But, yah, it's only suitable as a portable alternative. Fibre is my go to for homes.
Thats great. We have frequent power cuts. Can't even work properly. Luckily have inverter at home. Some days we have powercut like all day time.
I believe I saw an amd sbc last year with 5700u and 16gb sdram for about 12K as for the partial board I doubt you will see them in India not anytime soon.
Read they were fighting with government for allocation of spectrum. As per them govt is favouring Musk in this project.
I just moved on... I don't bother unless I have to
Yah, 500 for 40Mbps sounds good with no alternatives around given its also mostly wireless. Are the pings any good? Got any personal experience. I am on the fence with making decision on Jio Fiber or wait for Airtel.

Paying for 5km might cost a fortune depending on your locality. I was once asked by a local player to pay for 500m cable. And when I asked them how much it's be, he quoted 6k.This was 5 years ago. Maybe the prices have come down.
Their existing fair competitive practice between corporates they can't lower the price much just 5-10 percent
Didn't know there were states in India where these practices were still prevalent.
Here Airtel don't care about us. Basically Airtel is one big corporation I hate, they increased prices like hell on anything. Before jio they even charged 300 for 1gb data..
Although JIo is another devil, I prefer it to Airtel.
It happens here as well just occasionally when they are doing work on them cable or nearest sub station.
Yah that's the issue though, tough to get in India.
Smart move. Personally, I'd do that too.
Latency will be a bit on high side but won't be noticeable if you get good signals. It's same mobile internet same pings just better connectivity overall
But, didn't you hear what happened recently. Iirc, Manipur-based rebel groups were using Starlink within India closer to Myanmar border for communication. They got caught and the Government is right now questioning Starlink
Our local operator do charge for the wire, but its like around total around 4k for gpon modem/router and connection.
We have govt operated fiber connection as well, which was launched as a pilot project first, which was working great as well. But it went downhill after govt change. Now the govt changed again, have to wait and see how it works.
Oh yah, but, that'd be enough I guess. Anyways, as I said, solutions like Starlink are suitable for remote areas in India. I guess, as normal customers, I'd prefer plain old fibre. Would you jump to StarLink if the prices were similar to your existing connection?
It's not govt it's bureaucrats getting the bribes probably
I prefer bsnl for my mobile it's cheap and i only need calling so it's best.
Yah. Basically 5G, but wonder if Airtel as well shares the same problems as with JioFiber - CF and all.
They don't care. When I went to BSNL exchange for disconnection, they didn't even ask why. Just took my request and disconnected right away. 🤣🤣
Government operated? State Governments now be selling fibre connections? Didn't know about this
Oh yeah.. athey are still here.. lots of powercuts. And some due to climate also, as we are surrounded by trees.
If you want to these prices I can always share the current prices from my are for these cables and equipment
@TrK Forgot to update but with my website, I tried disabling the exception for Jio connections. It worked fine for a day and went back to its old behaviour. So, had to re-enable the exception which is why my websites don't use CloudFlare's features when connected from a Jio network. Is there a one-stop solution for this?
