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.
