Damn that is way too good. Hopefully Transworld comes to Lahore. Latency is still very unstable during peak hours on Stormfiber. Their service is really going down for me. :(

Also are you using the given ONT or your own router?

Yeah I shifted to TW from fiberlink in April. Just another world in terms of consistency of routing and reliability. I haven't had a disconnection yet apart from the micro disconnection you get to get a new IP once a day.

Latency is also reliable during peak hours except the last two weeks I was getting higher latency to i3d.net and other IPs which use Omantel node during peak hours; emailed them and they fixed that within a week.

I am using the ONT they have provided. Tbf the Wi-Fi doesn't have great range and is inconsistent but I have connected my ps4 with ethernet so it's not a problem.

Just tell him to go for TW. Even though Storm gets 120ms to Eu and 90ms to Singapore (Fortnite), Transworld gets around 10ms lesser.

Yeah he's reluctant so far because he needs the HD box to watch football. But with the new fifa coming out and them also on i3d.net servers it might be time for him to go back on Tata sky for football and get TW because you know how unreliable routing is. Randomly there's a day when they decide to put you on a less optimised route and there's little you can do unless you are their direct customer.

We actually get 80 ms to Singapore in all cases barring Amazon servers (fortnite overwatch etc) where for some reason it goes through Omantel to Singapore and gives us an average of 90 ms. It's strange because I'm sure they can both peer directly at Singapore internet exchange like TW already do with Microsoft for R6, twitch etc. Interested to see if pie have a direct connection. Would you be so kind to do a trace on this: 54.255.178.164?

Not in Karachi, but here's what I get on PTCL, right now (it's 11 PM):

Since I'm in Pindi, you might want to subtract ~25ms if you're in Karachi. Also, remember that ISPs sometimes put you on random routes that may or may not be optimal for no reason (I've used Nayatel - which MOSTLY relies on TW1 - and my pings to Google's DNS varied between 60ms and 160ms - as does with PTCL).

I just got back to find SF become horrible with 10%+ packet loss across the internet. Local network is fine. Anyone else facing the same issue?

Been (trying) to play Fifa 19. The new mode Div Rivals is on dedicated (European) servers I think. The connection fluctuates from time to time. Sometimes the connection is good but mostly the input delay and lag is abysmal. Horrible win/loss ratio. Thank you SF.

PC or Console?
Also call them up and ask for static ip. Will cost around 400 a month.

When are they going to bring their services to Nazimabad No. 5? :( I am so sick of PTCL. If anyone has any info on it, please do share.

The server you connect to is in UAE, not Europe. You'll generally get around 20 ms with an optimised route. Server IP is 185.179.202.65

I am planing to switch from PTCL VDSL to Stormfiber, in this regard can any one kindly give feedback on following factors on stormfiber:

1- Speed , Downtime ?
2- HD TV channels quality ?
3- Billing (any over charging or hidden charges) ?
4- Backup time during load shedding ?
5- Customer service quality ?

Thank You

1. Constant speed throughout the day. No dip in speed for me personally at peak load hours. I got the connection in February, and only had one major downtime that lasted an hour and a half or two which was due to a cut
2. Would rate their TV service much, MUCH higher than local cable operators. Many channels hovering around the 720p mark.
3. No hidden charges or over charging
4. Haven't had any issues with their backup time. I believe I had loadshedding for around 12 hours once and my connection was strong throughout
5. Although I don't have much experience with their customer service (due to little to no issues apart from latency at times), they seemed to give their 100% when I did have to contact them and resolved my issue

If I were in your position, I wouldn't think twice to switch over to SF.

Telecomadmin gives users elevated access. Basically unrestricted, but most ISPs disable this and block the customers from accessing it.

Transworld does this too. No way to get around it.

    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.
