Looking glass & latency tools
Validate routes from your ISP before you pay — test IPs issued on request with published India RTT expectations.
The looking glass is how serious buyers validate routing before checkout. HostStack exposes test targets, speedtest files, and latency expectations — because a single static IP on a marketing page misleads more than it helps.
Ping & traceroute targets
Request current test IPs via WhatsApp presales or ticket — addresses rotate by POP and product line. When issued, test from:
- Home broadband (JioFiber, Airtel Xstream, ACT, etc.)
- Mobile LTE/5G on the carrier your users actually use
- Office VPN off — VPN hides real user RTT
Example commands
ping -c 20 <test-ip>
traceroute <test-ip>
mtr -rwzc 100 <test-ip>Speedtest & download files
When speedtest endpoints are enabled for your POP, presales will share HTTPS download URLs (100MB–1GB) for throughput validation. Measure during business hours and peak evening windows — congestion patterns differ.
Published latency matrix (Mumbai POP)
| City | Typical RTT |
|---|---|
| Mumbai | 2–8 ms |
| Delhi | 18–32 ms |
| Bengaluru | 22–38 ms |
| Kolkata | 28–45 ms |
| Hyderabad | 20–35 ms |
| Chennai | 24–40 ms |
Directional ranges from healthy probes — not a latency SLA. See network architecture.
