The pings get really messy between 10pm to 11-12 midnight every day and it is getting on my nerves. 200ms to ME while 500ms to EU right now. Browsing also seems affected.Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk
Rapid expansion without adequate bandwidth is a recipe for disaster. Latency and browsing during peak hours is poor now.

Exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully Storm doesn't go down the drain.


On the other note, is there any other way to make bill payment except credit card?

Getting 46ms to ME and 160ms to EU.

Like some of you, I was getting 130ms to EU, approx. two weeks ago. Now it's 160ms to 180ms. A jump of 30ms-50ms overnight is significant. It's not like the latency can't be improved.

Furthermore, like Bardon said, latency during late night is getting worse. I hate to say this, but all this is reminiscent of a typical desi isp.

Grab customers with economical offerings, expand coverage and customers aggressively without proper headroom in the network, all this ultimately leads to congestion.

The thing is most majority of Pakistan has no idea about pings and what they should be, and most are persuaded by high speeds only. Hence why many ISPs do not care about gaming experience even though it should be their priority.

There's digging going on in my area (Lahore Cantt) and black pipes are being deployed. Asked around and they said these belong to cybernet. Im hoping to get a stormfiber brochure soon. Fingers crossed...

Stormfiber. Fiberlink will just be one big headache, even though they are cheaper.

Just look around forums to learn about their shit reputation.

What DNS servers do you people use? I really can't find the perfect one. Google DNS is great but sometimes goes really slow during browsing and pings spike frequently on it. Same with OpenDNS. Leaving DNS blank is just mediocre and normal browsing.

Bhai, i paid fiberlink for installation back in may. They never installed the connection and returned my cash after 8 months. They're the most incompetent bunch of assholes I've ever seen. Mofos wasted so much of my time. Wait for stormfiber.

    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.

    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.
