500-800/month for now.. it spikes to around 1K when I am doing some work with power tools like drills or something.
That's sed..... Don't have BSNL there?
Oh yah, hat - cap confusion.
What does your home lab consist of. And, assuming you are in Delhi, a bill of 800-1000 generally means you are using a lot of electricity.
Also, @TrK pretty sure BSNL won't hold a grudge and won't give you a connection just cause you complained aggressively one time
Anybody online to hype it up?
Not in Delhi so no free electricity... Home lab currently consists an AIO pc and thin client running 24x7.
They not giving any to me, might be something else.... Might be in a list a troubling customer who will demand bridge mode....
HYPING it up.....
You have a separate meter for home lab? or its including your normal usage as well, like tv etc.
They want me to get 5 more customers, if I want a fiber connection
Yup, its cap/hap. DaDev got it in BF as per TrK
Separate.... My home one is currently on my father's name so I get to use my pc 24x7 sometimes unless he notices and plug the cable out that isπ
Tried airtel airfiber? It's cheap imo and been running fine in my neighborhood.
Separate meter reduces the unit price though.
Your home lab is in a separate stair to get two connections?
No big operators here. I'm in a remote village far far away from district head quarters.. which is small city. Like 2 and half hours journey.
Separate location all together.... Perks of being villagers...
Separate location and locked? what about power backup? inverter for homelab?
Airtel airfiber is operated by airtel themselves and it's that wireless thingy no cables required.... You get 40mbps called 3.3TB for 500, pretty good imo. Just a little high latency being wireless....
Oh ok. Plan on starting mine by next year. Prolly will go with the Praho Mini PC.
Tried the same gimmick with a friend of mine. He waited a month more and Airtel Fiber got introduced in his locality. Infact, if you are ready to pay them for the cable, BSNL will bypass the 5 or 10 customer requirement.
Electricity uptime is good in recent years and yeah got a separate inverter for that as well. Well it's not locked but the room my homelab in sure is.
Any news on Jio and Airtel working on tech similar to Elon's Starlink? Would love to give that a try if they launch in the upcoming year or so.
If you need more power try looking at lenovo tiny series you can get one for cheap in after market usually around 10k for i5-6500u 16gb and ssd
Yup I heart about airfiber. But they don't operate here
We don't even properly get the phone signal. We have somewhat acceptable mobile signal with 1 bar from airtel. Others zero inside. 1 outside. π€£π€£
Just for the internet right? No OTT and no TV channels right?
Might be I am just red flag for ISPs here π
Will probably take atleast 5 years before we can see something stable and it's gonna be darn costly believe me.
I just came to know about another thing. AMD's been selling partially boards with the PS5 CPU (no GPU), add your own GPU kinda boards. Could be rare but would love to learn more about it. If those come cheap, could get one run UART to install Linux and run it headless.
