I am facing this problem for past three days. Connection suddenly drops and takes like 20~30 minutes or sometimes more before it is up again. I have changed the routers and phone wire incoming to router. SNR margins are good and no problem with phone line. No speed problems as well. Anyone else having same problems?
Please help.

EDIT:
Sometimes the connection is only up for like 5 minutes before it drops again

hmm...strange phenomenon occurred today at this time..Speed is halved. Was downloading through torrent and maximum could get is 66 KB/s. tried to open PG and other sites, they wouldn't open. Only google and few others were opening. Did a speedtest and found speed is halved...


But was worried why I couldn't open sites while downloading at full speeds so I decided to change the DNS servers from those of PTCL's to Google's Public DNS...seems to be able to browse for the moment

Same here :S
But i got this problem yesterday for about 2 hours, and after that, it went smooth.

I believe it might happen again. Atleast its PTCL :p lol

According to the guy i've asked about this issue, this matter should be resolved by now, but it isn't. :S

I was having the same prob a week back. I called PTCL and filed a complaint. They've fixed it now. So i recommend you call them and tell them ur prob.

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
