PTCL being stubborn

Ok, let's start from the beginning:

I've actually to leave my computer on sleep mode at night, for at least 5 days now, including this one. It's mainly because of how I have only one hour during the night to actually use it and I don't want to copy paste a long comment I was writing nor do I want to struggle to watch a video from where I left off because I can't remember the exact time on the video when I closed it. Yes, I'm lazy, bleh.

ANYWAYS:

Today, in the morning, I actually turned on my laptop (from sleep mode), which is something I have been doing for the past 4 days to check whether it's working properly. This also means I check whether my two emulators and internet are working.

So apparently I notice my PTCL got disconnected...for some reason. I try to connect it again, and...it doesn't connect. I tried it again some more times, but it still didn't work.

Therefore I decided to put my laptop on sleep mode again- and then I turn it on, and there you go, PTCL gets connected.

Can someone explain to me why this happened? I'm going to guess it's because of putting my laptop on sleep for whole nights, but correct if I'm wrong.

When you say your PTCL got disconnected, is it the modem that disconnected from the internet or your laptop disconnected from the modem?

You need to increase DHCP lease time on your modem/router. Also see if your LAN Card is dropping into power saving mode and not waking up properly when coming out of sleep. It's most probably windows glitch.

This literally has nothing to do with PTCL in and of itself; it's a laptop issue, not an ISP problem.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
