I'm in DHA, Lahore and I was having disconnection issues on my old copper line which has telephone + 2 MB student bundle activated on it. Here are it's stats:




As per the exchange people recommendation activated a new line dedicated to 2 MB student bundle. Got a new black modem which has built in antenna for wifi. Here are it's stats:




So how is my new fiber line??? Is it better or worse???


Also as you can see I had 2560/764 downstream/upstream and I was getting around 250-260 KB/s on IDM on my old copper line connection and now getting I have 2048/512 downstream/upstream and getting around 230-240 KB/s on my new fiber connection.

Is this due to the downstream/upstream which means they have reduced my speed or port right?????? Are they able to increase this for me if I complain to them???

Thanks in advance!

Your new line has much better stats. SNR is quite good. Attenuation is lower as well.

Also, complaining about the speed won't get them to increase the speed for you. 2 Mb package means 2048 Kilobits per second, so you're getting what you're paying for.

Could you explain to me about the stats how they are better???

So I had better downstream/upstream on my old line right as I had 2560/764 before and now only 2048/512 ???

Your new line has a better SNR (Signal to noise ratio) meaning that your connection will be more stable and can support higher speeds if you wish to upgrade in the future.

Line attenuation is a measure of how much the signal has deteriorated from the exchange to your house. Less than 20db attenuation is considered very good. And your downstream attenuation is just around 20db, which is quite good.

Yes, you had a higher downstream/upstream on your old line. It might have been due to a mixup while allotting you a port or something. They likely fixed that when upgrading you to an optic fiber connection.

wow what a SNR margin you are getting :)

Simple Calculations

1 Mbps = 1024/8bits = 128 KB/s Downloading
2 Mbps = 2048/8bits = 256 KB/s Downloading
4 Mbps = 4096/8bits = 512 KB/s Downloading
[MENTION=50514]PCftw[/MENTION] is right that you are getting what you are paying for :)

Oh bhai sab thek hai.....ur old connection and new connection has same statistics. Dont go after tiny numbers as it doesnt make any difference a bit. Dont waste ur energy and forum pages. Get urself upgraded to 4mbps and enjoy then

O kaka, IDM sy download speed check kro, 220kb+-/sec a rhi ha, and connection randomly disconnect tu nhi ro rha? Agr nhi tu yehi faida ha optical fiber ka bs, copper p disconnections aty han more than 1mb p, however optical fiber is v stable

Your overall Line Parameters are Excellent. They almost exactly like mine. So relax man there is nothing to worry about.

Which Phase do you live in? Last I heard they were having problems with new connections.
Living in Phase 4 and yeah they were doing some upgrades a few days ago and my net was shitty then, now everything working fine.

Yeah due to that I was getting 250-260 KB/s on IDM and 1.96 - 2.0 Mb/s download on speedtests and 0.5 - 0.6 Mb/s upload, however now with Fiber I'm getting only 230-235 KB/s on IDM and 1.75 - 1.80 Mb/s download on speedtests and 0.35 - 0.40 Mb/s upload. My new line stats maybe better but due to this I'm feeling a little shitty :(

I got a call from the PTCL that they can upgrade me to 4 MB for the price of 2 MB till the end of April so I will be availing this offer and hopefully I can get good speeds on there as well :)

Bro wahi to, pehlai I was getting 250-260 KB/s but on new fiber line even though it's much better I'm only getting 230-235 KB/s :(

Yaar the thing is I upgraded due to line issues right, wo to long run main hi pata challaiga k fiber sahi chaal rahi hai k nahi, however it pinches a bit that my download/upload speeds are reduced on this new line even though it's supposed to be superior to the copper line, baas yehi duukh hai thora saa :p

Yeah will upgrade to 4 MB and hoping the line will remain trouble free :)

Been using 2 MB on copper for a while, and my line worked good most of the time but whenever there was a problem it's a Abuses will lead to ban. Hope this doesn't happen on the new fiber line otherwise this whole switch would be useless especially since my download speeds have been reduced by 10-20 KB/s :(

Bro can you post your stats including speedtest.net result through PTCL server.

Also what speeds are you getting on your IDM???

Do we have to pay for getting our connection on fiber if yes how much? and Do I have to tell them on phone that I want my connection on fiber or I have to go to the nearest oss.

Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
