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.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
