Fiber 2 Home Internet Service by Fiberlink | Discussion (Read FIRST POST)

[tahaashfaq]

Being local doesn't really matter. I get 11-12 MB/s during the day and around 23-24 MB/s during the night from international sites as well. A local site doesn't really have an advantage.

What I actually meant with local, was that the server's connections are directly tied with Fiberlink so speeds greater than allotted bandwidth would've been possible. I'm going for only an 8 Mb connection so...

Your speed is tied to your mac address and it'll never go above the maximum bandwidth you're paying for no matter local or international.

Don't expect full 200mbps speed on Wifi on this router because for that you need full ac compatible device which supports data rates of 866.7 Mbps on both upstream and downstream.

You're right. Single channel AC is only 433 Mbps which I think is what that router supports. If you have more than one device connecting to that 5 GHz AC band, you're going to have stuttering while streaming etc. Dual Channel AC, which is 867 Mbps is usually preferred in this case since it can at least accommodate a couple of devices on the AC band at the same time.

But what you should really be going for is a Tri channel AC router that supports full 1300 Mbps so at least you can use 4 to 5 devices simultaneously. Ideally, that router would also support Mu-MIMO so you can increase the number of active devices to around 8 - 10 without any noticeable degradation in performance.

I generally prefer ASUS routers so I'd suggest the following routers (ordered best to good) would be good for 200 Mbps / 400 Mbps during the nights.

ASUS RT-AC88U | 3167 Mbps (1734 Mbps on Quad channel AC) | 8 Gigabit Ports | Supports Mu-MIMO
ASUS RT-AC87U | 2334 Mbps (1734 Mbps on Quad channel AC) | 4 Gigabit Ports | Supports Mu-MIMO
ASUS RT-AC68U | 1900 Mbps (1300 Mbps on Triple channel AC) | 4 Gigabit Ports | Only Su-MIMO

Considering that there isn't a big price difference between the RT-AC68U and RT-AC87U anymore, I'd just go for the RT-AC87U since it provides a decent amount of performance for a great price. It costs a lot less than the ~$200 I paid for my RT-AC68U a couple of years ago.

Alright so regarding thier new packages they are real and no April Fool's day Joke lol

-The prices shown in the picture are without tax and for 200 Mbps package the final price is 5437Rs per month. ( Little Less for 150Mbps )
-Double bandwidth policy still applies on these packages so it'll become approximately 400mbps up/down in night on 200Mbps package ( after 2:30 am )
-To shift your package you need to call FiberLink helpline ( Billing Department ) and they will guide you accordingly.

Dont you think they should work more on decreasing downtime/improving infrastructure and time of installation rather than announcing new packages. I think most people dont have routers capable enough to achieve speeds like 100/200/300/400 mbps. ?

I think 100mb speed will be more than enough if their deployment time is fast enough and stability of connection is good. They should focus on laying underground fiber instead of aerial.

Agreed.
They should make thier network stable first before announcing new packages but it's easy money for them without doing any extra work.

If someone's router does not support speeds greater than 200mb than first he would have to buy router of 20k and then he can make full use of 300/400mb. So these packages are meaningless for most people. Probably gimmick to attract/lure more users.

Not necessarily, you only need expensive routers if you want these speeds on Wifi ( and for that you need an expensive mobile too capable of supporting these speeds ) otherwise for wired connection any router with GigaBit WAN is good enough for these speeds and they are cheap.

But stability/infrastructure/quick installation/customer support is more important for me at least.

What is the status of your connection ? I applied on 10 feb and still waiting for installation. For the last three weeks, shuja is giving ma tareekh pe tareekh.

Apart from bugging these guys , what can we do to force them to install as per their committed time ?

Not yet. For me too. This is their main problem. They never install connection on time. I ordered on 6th march by the way. What is your location?

That was what I was talking about in above posts ,they should first install connections quick rather than giving new packages .

Unfortunately I think we can't do anything, maybe we can do some legal action against them but it'll be more hassle.

On every monday , Shuja attends my call and tells me it will be installed by Friday. And on friday , he tells me that it will be installed by Monday. It is happening for the last three weeks. And he is still saying that he has not received the devices from Karachi.
