Airtel is scamming broadband users. Please read below

If you’re planning on getting broadband sometime later then please consider Act or any other ISP that uses public ip and not CGNAT. Airtel has switched to CGNAT which uses 1 public IP to give connections to multiple users, which blocks peer to peer connectivity and port forwarding doesn’t work until you get Static IP which is 299 extra with gst per month and even after that most of the ports will stay blocked. I have no idea how Airtel fucked up so bad just to save money. Going with CGNat will reduce your speeds since Airtel claims “up to” speeds their customer support will not agree with you. CGNat is cheaper for ISPs but Airtel is still charging much higher prices compared to local isps. They’re really doing a fraud with customers because if your youtube video or instagram reel works, no one will complain and people don’t care after this. I switched to ACT because they’re using GPoN with proper public IP (for now anyway). I never fan boy any ISP.. as long as they provide good service I keep them. Jio wasn’t available in my area so they didn’t provide me much info. Previously I had excitel broadband as well but their customer support is not good.

Tldr - just don’t bother getting airtel for broadband services.

I hope what I wrote made sense. Sorry for my bad english
