  • How can I ensure the safety of my child online in regards to Child Abuse Material (CAM), Cyber Bullying and blocking pornographic or inappropriate content?

    Children are increasingly becoming a part of our online community. The Internet offers children many opportunities for learning, constructive entertainment, and personal growth. But there are a lot of risks that children face online. Filtering software like CYBERPATROL, NETNANNY, SURFWATCH etc can help keep children away from inappropriate online content. Parental controls can also be set up on a router, operating system, browser and firewall level. More information on how to setup parental controls via such mediums is easily available online. While such measures go a long way ensuring the kind of content your child is exposed to online, they are not a substitute for parental involvement in the child’s safety online.

FTTH

  • What is FTTH?

    Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or 100% Fiber Network is a cable that contains glass/plastic fibers that transmit light instead of electricity, thus promising superior speed. As a case in point, consider Google Fiber that offers speeds of up to 1Gbps, while a normal cable connection would max out on 200Mbit/s.  

  • What is the difference between FTTH (100% Fiber Network) and other available technologies?

    A 100% Fiber Network gives you end-to-end connectivity with fiber optics running directly into your homes – ensuring no leakage of speed & connectivity. 

    Vectorised Fiber or FTTB (Fiber-to-the-Building) is a mix of fibre and copper lines where the fiber lines run from the ISP only until your premises and copper lines from your premises to your home. 

  • Why is FTTH better than other available technologies?

    1. Breath-taking speed: The fiber optic internet ensures that your internet doesn’t slow down, even during periods of high demand.

    2. Higher Immunity & Reliability: Fiber, unlike copper, is not corrosive in nature, so it’s unaffected by harsh weather conditions. It is resistant to human or electrical interference and does not lose signal over long distances – delivering seamless connectivity and lesser downtimes.

    3. Unlimited Bandwidth: FTTH has virtually an unlimited bandwidth, making it possible to power Holographic HD TV and games, smart home solutions, video telephony and home security solutions.

    4. Safer: As fiber does not radiate electromagnetic energy, fiber cable is literally impossible to tap making it the safest medium for carrying sensitive data. 

    5. Lower Carbon Footprint: The raw materials used to make fiber come from silicon and sand. Which can be found in an abundance compared to the dwindling supply of copper.

ROUTER

  • What is a Smart Router?

    The Tata Play Fiber Smart Router is a ONT + Router. It is a dual band router that has 2.4GHz & 5GHz

  • Does the performance of the Smart Router depend on its location in your home?

    The strength of your Wi-Fi signal is dependent on the placement of your Smart Router. Getting the location right can make a world of difference to your broadband experience. Please ensure – 

    1. Find a central spot: Place your Smart Router in a central location in your house – preferably at a height. 

    2. Avoid interference: Keep your Smart Router away from large metal objects, heat/extreme cold sources, moisture, dust & plants. Keep microwave ovens, cordless phones and Bluetooth devices away.

  • How to make the most of your Smart Router?

    1. Connect Directly: Direct LAN/ethernet cables provide faster speeds.

    2. Reboot Routine: Restart your router regularly to ensure the driver software is up to date.

    3. Turn-off devices not in use: Devices/Apps not in active use consume bandwidth. Turning them off frees up bandwidth for use.

  • How can I change my Tata Play Fiber Wi-Fi password? 

    To change your Tata Play Fiber Wi-Fi password, please login to the Tata Play Fiber mobile app and click the ‘More’ option at the bottom of the screen. Click on my Wi-Fi device, then click on ‘Settings’ and then Click on ‘Change Wi-Fi Password’. Type your new password to the field and click the save button. Now, your Wi-Fi password has changed.

SPEED

  • If I increase my internet speed from 50Mbps to 300Mbps, will my browsing speed improve by 6X?

    Yes, the speed will go up 6 times. You will get 300 MBPS (On LAN). Higher speed offers you an enriched internet experience and it will enable higher number of devices to be connected on Internet simultaneously. WiFi experience, however, is always dependent on distance from the Router, wall or glass separation as well as number of devices (Smart TV, Laptop or Smartphone devices) simultaneously connected. 

  • Will the promised speed be consistent, no matter where I browse?

    The overall browser performance will be dictated by the screen size, the distance between the Smart Router and the device (say, your computer) and number of devices connected to the internet at the same time. So, it may be possible that the same connection will serve 2-3 different speeds depending on the above-mentioned factors. 

  • Do the speed-testers measure the speed of my connection?

    Nearly all speed testing apps do not measure the speed but instead measure the bandwidth (capacity). Unfortunately, the bandwidth is the measure of how much data can the connection hold and not the speed (throughput) of the connection. It’s only the speed that governs the user app experience in most cases.
