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.

That's what happening to me exactly. I was trying to post full season of Chernobyl yesterday at filejoker.net and it would start at 8-10 MB/s and within minutes fell down to like 400-800 KB/s.
I will not just complain, i will cancel my connection if they don't fix this. I am not paying 12,000 Rs monthly to stream youtube.

I terminated my connection as well, but for other reasons.

Be prepared for lots of calls from the retention department who will beg you to stay, or at least downgrade to a different, cheaper package rather than removing the entire connection.

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.

do speedtest and select server in EU or USA region it will tell you real speeds you will get

nice looks like you have a nice lineman and he knows his stuff i am sure he will fix your issue

The lineman spent around 2 hours troubleshooting at my home and looking at the dpbox and stuff. Looks like there was a problem in the wiring in my home so he connected it directly at where the cable entered my house. Im getting like 6-7mb upload on my 15mb connection now which is right i think

Yeah upload speed on 15 Mbps connection is supposed to be around 7.5 Mbps.

Good, probably then they will listen or atleast 'FIX IT' for me since i have a static IP and they might give me better service. I don't want a cheaper connection either. Either its full upload speed or no PTCL. Its obvious throttling because at google drive i get my full upload speed.
Otherwise i am not afraid of discontinuing ptcl as i have now other options.

Went to the basti exchange today to order Smart TV and the guy (in the last room on right) told me that it's not in their policy to set up the STB over WiFi. WTH? I mean if it has built-in WiFi then why not? Atleast they can come over and test it out. I have not more than 2-3 devices running on WiFi simultaneously so I think it should work fine.
So, what are my options now guys? How can I convince them to install it wirelessly?

P.S The ONT is on the 2nd floor and the TV is on the first so not preffering an ethernet cable.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.
