Hi fellas. I wanted to talk about my trash internet and how I want to upgrade it but I really can't.

Currently I use PTCL 8mb download and 3mb upload package. Only Wateen and PTCL are in my area. No fiber-optic. I really wanted to get fiber optic from storm fiber but because I live in Askari, there won't be fiber-optic for a good 4 years. I have the worst DSL in the area because surrounding neighborhoods have ADSL+ where they can actually get like 20mbps. Whereas, my area suffers from DSL that tops out at 6mbps. On top of that, the ping is VERY high for some reason. 50ms ping in Lahore itself. 250 - 300ms ping in France.

Internet will not be upgrading here soon. I game a lot and torrent. Torrenting is hard because it takes atleast 2 days for a single game to download. Due to heavy fluctuations and PTCL is PTCL. Disconnects every 15 minutes. Gaming is hell.

THANKFULLY, by the gods of mobile data. I live in the best area for 4G+ in Lahore. There is no demand of 4G here and the speeds are very reliable and consistent. I USB Tether JAZZ 4G from my phone and get 25 mbps daytime and around 50mbps at 1-2AM. I actually live near central Lahore but I am very near to the cell tower of every provider. I live in Northern Cantt so the boomers don't really use 4G.

The bad thing is data capping. I was thinking of getting Jazz Home Wifi with 150GB and 4G speeds. Now Jazz has excellent signals so speed won't be an issue. But my montly usage is around 375GB per month. I was thinking I can game and download on Jazz and watch netflix and youtube on PTCL because 6mbps is enough for watching videos. I was really confused between Zong 4G + or Jazz Home Wifi. Which one should I go for if I game a lot.

PTCL TESTED SPEEDS -

PTCL ON AVERAGE DAYTIME - 5mbps
PTCL ON AVERAGE NIGHTTIME - 6mbps
PTCL RECORD - 7.8mbps

JAZZ 4G TESTED SPEEDS -

JAZZ ON AVERAGE DAYTIME - 28mbps
JAZZ ON AVERAGE NIGHTTIME - 50mbps
JAZZ RECORD - 95mbps

ZONG 4G TESTED SPEEDS -

ZONG ON AVERAGE DAYTIME - 25mbps
ZONG ON AVERAGE NIGHTTIME - 60mbps
ZONG RECORD - 87mbps

Crazy mobile data speeds !! tested via speedtest.net

ZONG 4G or JAZZ 4G?

PTCL CHARJI SUCKS

Gaming on 4G is still 50/50 IMO. Pings can be massive but if you are saying u have excellent coverage so at least its better than shitty PTCL. I had Zong 4G in my home and was quite satisfied with it. But I dont play any multiplayer games so can't comment on that.

Btw why u are saying that Askari will have PTCL for 4 more years? Is that some kind of contract between Askari and PTCL? :confused:

It's been a whole lot more days now. I really wanna get off this shit PTCL. "Say hello to shitty internet". For past years my ping is supposed to be 160ms but instead is 400? Happens on every device. Changed ton of routers. Changed cables. Nope, it was PTCL's end. I pay for 8mbps and get 2-3mbps max.

I have some family that are friends with the Askari Housing Society. Basically, they said that fiber companies have tried multiple times to get fiber in Askari but the owner keeps blocking it for some odd reason. Probably because of the lack of demand and people here get by with speeds in Kb/s.

These are the companies available -

PTCL (lower than 8mbps because of shitty copper wire)
Wateen (same thing)
Zong 4G
Jazz 4G
Ufone 4G
Wi-tribe 4.5G

I was quite interested in Witribe 4.5G as they provide home router and unlimited mobile data packages. I still don't understand how people are voting for ptcl in the poll. PTCL sucks to be honest.

Here's a speedtest.





Also, I saw a post of a person upgrading from ADSL2 (PTCL) to VDSL (PTCL) by a simple switch. I wonder if that's the case. But again, I don't trust the shit service. (Pagal Telecommunication Can Literally Fry Your Brain)

For reference, I live in Lahore cantt. Near Fauji Foundation Hospital

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
