I'd advise getting one or two reviews of SF while you're at it. FL will take a while to set-up your connection, and they are far from professional in any aspect imagineable.
Stormfiber is too 'professional' for their own good. I have a series of mails/issues with them. 'But per corporate policy' their replies are robotic and they cannot deviate outside of their replying parameters. Dealing with them can be VERY vexing. Compared to Fiberlink's 'unprofessional' people -who can actually be human beings about issues - SF is way worse.

I'd rather have some desi parathas with my chai rather than nutella rotti #Boycott2016

I've been using Fiberlink since late 2012 (firstly as CIR and now as FTTH user). It has ups and downs (mostly downs until early 2016), but for the most part it is way better than any DSL or wireless service out there.

Since you're a gamer you should know that there is no such thing as 'consistent latency' in Pakiland - regardless of server locations (EU, SEA, US, etc.). I'll skip the earlier years of consistent bad service and talk about 2016+, when they finally fixed their infrastructure. Keeping the last 4-5 months in view, here's where Fiberlink's at:
1) No disconnects all month
2) Streams working on max presets (Twitch and YouTube) and other nize streams hehe
3) Latency consistent (no spikes and timeouts or disconnects)
4) Download speed always stable/max (10 MB/sec for me)

HOWEVER, for the last week or so, latency has been up and down during evening hours. These things are bound to happen with ANY connection in PKland, even with SF, TES, PTCL or whatever. It's just congestion/bottlenecking on a national level so ISPs can only make up excuses to stall grievances.

I have also heard people complain a lot about FL in certain areas. I live in Defence Ph 4-7 and I'm a happy FL customer, for now.
My suggestion would be to go for it - monthly package and NEVER an annual one. Make frandship with guy for early installation, maybe even have tea with him during payment visit. Add them on Whatsapp and if they make bahana ke no modem in stock tell them to bring wire and you'll get your own (if you can, otherwise when they bring wire you tell them JKLOL plz get me purana one juz for now).
Quite helpful information, thank you for the time.
After hearing this I'm pretty sure it would be way better than my shitty Qubee 3Mbps, isn't it?
Ups and downs and inconsistency, extra tax charges in bills are as always expected since I'm a Pakizen (short for Pakistani citizen).

@Khan2014 I can attest to that, lol. SF refuse to share their channel list with me, despite my area being covered by them, which seems like horse-shite to me.Still, SF complaints are a rarity from the people I've known. Don't get me wrong, I'm mildly satisfied with my FL connection, but personally regret not having waited a month for SF to cover my area.So, using your metaphor, I would survey the pros and cons of both the desi paratha and nutella roti. That's considering the vendor is willing to put up with my shet
Edit: not sure why tagging wasn't working earlier​

    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.
