yesterday in morning when i turn on my pc and open my browser and enter a website. instead of that website i saw a ptcl link and it said your 4mb connection is converted to 8mb. and i was very excited that time and i then open my modems home page to confirm this and i saw that my modem still shows 4mb. so i call on 1236 they said we see that your profile is already set to 8mb but from your port is not upgraded from exchange so the guy made a complaint and said in 24hrs ur problem will be resolve. and today i got call on my landline from exchange but i was @ work so my brother talked with the guy and he said sir apki line 4mb tk support kar rehe hain so its better to use 4mb. not to go for higher speed warna 8mb karwayen gain tu net slow ho jayega.
And when i asked my brother told me this i said Wtf ? what a bullshit reason..
so does any one else faced the same problem? and i m using the old age line. no fiber in my city yet. so is my line not capable for higher speed then 4mb? or what should i do to try 8mb :)

Stat shows its achieveble but you will be going to face disconnections. I dont think copper will hold this much pressure on itself.

my SNR line stats dropped to 5 from 15 after I upgraded to 8MB.. i wonder y they don't have good copper / fibre lines in lahore cantt whereas barki side p b fibre ati hai..:/..
but anyways..asked the ptclcares guy to revert it back to 4mb after he sent two guys to check the lines and they failed to sort it out.
Interesting thing is that now after 4mb, my snr remains the same.:/

Moral of the story: chalti chez ko chehrna ni chahye,,

Bt[FONT=Source Sans Pro, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]w m[/FONT]ost of you don't know this but the 4mbps connection is capped at 300gb after which they charge you extra. They call it unlimited but its not. Call them and you will find out. Unlimited only truly starts for the 8mbps@7000 package

They also told me on the phone if they upgrade my connection to 8mbps it is going to still remain capped at 300gb (even though it is advertised as unlimited). It will remain so till the 31st of January.

I have a 4mbps connection. If i were to ask them by my own self to upgrade my connection to 8mbps they would do it for free. But after some time if I dont like it and then i ask them to downgrade they said they will charge me 1500 for the downgrade

Though if PTCL were to upgrade you to 8mbps and then u ask them to downgrade back to 4mbps I am assuming they dont charge you for the downgrade them provided you request it before february. I am not sure on this though

[MENTION=9624]Zasha[/MENTION]! The 300GB FUP (Fair Usage Policy) is on their website too. I have lodged several complaints to PTCL, and PTA about their wrong using of words, but apparently corporate world doesn't give a rats ass for the ethics ... since the whole world is advertising 'LIMITED' data s 'Unlimited', and they get away with the 'fair usage policy' attached to it. Mofos.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
