OK guys i want to ask that are ptcl dsl connections are shared?? Most people say that they are shared and drop speed in peek hours and i have not experienced such things on my connection?? So if my area gets more connections does that mean my DSL speed will go down??

If you are saying that they are shared like cable nets are, then no they are not. They do not drop speeds any time. They dont have a peak time or unpeak time. Their speeds remain constant and are based upon the quality of connection and the quality of wires used in your house. Your speed will not go down even if every house in your area has 4 connections each.

Yes they are shared. CIR (dedicated) connections are more expensive and only used by businesses.

Yup they are shared but not like cable net, but these companies used advanced sharing techniques due to which you will not feel that this connection is shared.

Can u plz elaborate what actually is CIR connection?? What dedicated means in these connections?? All difference i have been able to notice in business and home connections is only dynamic IP and voice ports. Business connection has STATIC ip and voice ports opened while home connection doesn't. RIGHT??

committed information rate or cir is a guaranteed connection. For example: 1mpbs CIR connection is guaranteed to allow for 1mbps downloading and uploading 24/7. I don't know about voice ports and other shit.

Bandwidth is too expensive in Pakistan. In other countries they are talk in terms of 10s of mbps and here we are stuck at single digit mpbs or kbps in my case.

yes it is shared in a way when in peak hour the 1mbps bandwidth that u are using is also being used by lets say 8 other users that is why u see speed drops in peak usage hours even if ur are not downloading anything but still browsing kinda sluggish

dont worry wateen connections are also shared

    Personally i see only one game that should be truly deserving of GOTY title this year (if it delivers). And that's KCD:II

    The gameplay is generic & outdated in that game. And it's 5 hour campaign is too short to enjoy.

    About Hellblade 2, I just watched the story on a YT channel out of curiosity and I think it has the Hallmark of a GOTY this year. While many criticize the game and I also don't like this genre of game, I believe the story and visuals looks like a cenimatic masterpiece.

    It may win the "best visuals" category, but that's about it. A GOTY contender needs to nail all aspects (Story, Gameplay, Visuals, etc)

    Just downloaded Farm Simulator 2024. The game is available for free on Epic fo limited time. I always wondered how our food is harvested. This game endorsed by the UN will reveal the process of farming.

    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.
