had been using smart tv device connected via wifi without any lags trick is to connect device to ptcl provided wifi router that is your modem also.I have tried connecting it to other companies wifi routers but it get stuck after every 5 minutes maybe there is some integrated iptv settings needed to be done

from these stats it looks like your house is far away from msag so you will get speeds like adsl2 on your vdsl connection
I asked my lineman and he said the "dp box" or something was right next to my house and the "cabinet" or somethin was 300-400meters away, is that bad?

Same is the case with me, I'm like 300-400 meter away from the cabinet but a "dp box" is right next to my house. TBH it depends on the line quality. If the wire running from your exchange to the cabinet has underground joints then expect random dcs and SNR fluctuations.

Edit update: Just saw your stats, yeah i agree with manobilla your stats are quite bad for 300-400 meters away from the cabinet. Do you have any joints in the wire coming from the poll?

This means WHOLE karachi is down and PTCL is partying out. It's a weekend and they deserve it for all the hard work they do.

It could be a problem with my line too? Or is that not a possibility

Sent from my SM-T713 using Tapatalk
it can be many things first you need to check your home wiring and best way to do it is to connect your modem directly with main phone wire

Is PTCL known for throttling Upload speed? I have a 100 Mbit connection (100 Mbit download and 75 Mbit upload link on a PTCL GPON line). While my download speed is correct i hardly get 10-20 Mbit actual upload speed while uploading files to most file-hosts?
Is it some temporary thing or does ptcl throttle upload speed deliberately on high speed gpon connections? Please reply only if you have high speed GPON ptcl connection and your experience. I wonder complaining to ptcl will bear any fruit other then to increase my blood pressure.
I will have to find some other service if i continue to get 10 Mbit upload for a connection i am paying about 12k monthly.

It was throttled on some file hosting sites.

Sometimes the upload would start at 75 Mbps, but within a few minutes it would drop down to around 2-3 MB/s.

Complaining will not help because they will just ask you to run a speedtest and that shows 75 Mbps upload, so they will close the complaint.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
