I have couple of questions
1 what kind of ping should i expect using nayatel or other fiber providers in Islamabad? I play games like Apex legends, cod, Rainbow six siege and others mostly in European servers.

2 if let's say you live a neighborhood that have no fiber optic coverage, can you order it and get it to where you live?
I'm soon going to Islamabad and as a gamer this is a concern for me, my house is in H-13, ALI BAKHISH TOWN, can someone confirm if it's covered or not?

Which of these ISPs is gamer friendly? I would like to use my own gaming router by setting the ONT in bridge mode. Don't want double-NAT. I have heard PTCL doesn't allow bridge mode and won't provide PPPoE credentials for those on Flash Fiber.

I have heard Stormfiber is good. Connect speed fluctuates widely. It is only good for browsing, YouTube and Netflix.

Thanks for the response, good to know the forums are not totally dead and there's more to PG than the marketplace.
Yea I've heard good things about StormFiber too, they're the first ones to enable dual stack IPv4/IPv6. I just hope they are accommodating to power users and allow setting the ONT in bridge mode.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
