As the poster above me said you will have to get hd box and pay 3300 extra for box.i opted for normal sd cable of stormfiber and I got it connected to 3 of my tv with no extra charge .for hd box you can only connect it one tv .sd cable has 78 channels I think which covers all Pakistani channels and sports channels .
What are you stupid or just retarded? Pehle 2week pehle ke comments hen tere ke "Im so done with stormfiber and bad ping and all" ab logo ko advice de rha hay ke "Go for stormfiber"? Ajeeb chu hay tu. Koi aik rona rolay please.

2 hafte a matlab jante ho? I complained because the latency were bad not because of speeds or downtime. Wo karachi me rehta hai and Storm works perfectly in karachi and in Lahore too now. Sirf meri connecgion ka masla tha.
Zubaan halke karke baat karo, teri baap ki website nahi hai ye.

Yes, for some reason, EU latencies have gone high on Amazon servers. These used to me 130 - 140 MS but now they are more than 200 MS. For the resolution, I am using Kill Ping which is optimizing my pings on EU servers to 140 to 150 MS.
Howerver, Pings on SEAS are still normal i.e. 85 to 100 MS.

Stormfiber just went live in my area. Booked the connection instantly. Made the payment. Finally going to be getting rid of the PTCL curse real soon. By the way, normally how much time do they take to deploy connection?

Congrats !!!!!!! Normally they take 10 to 15 working days. Could be less but that's the maximum TAT.
Internet setup Progress Report 1/3
Thought I’d give everyone an update on my internet situation/setup in Model Town, Lahore.
I have been using StormFiber for over a year and a half now and I am very happy with them. Zero downtime (at least not while I’m using it) and their HD cable is amazing!
I decided to get the FiberLink 50mbps connection even though its down for almost 20 days out of the year. This downtime analysis is based on information I’ve read on different online forums. My want of getting FL was based on their low monthly rates along with super high speeds of course.
One-year payment for FiberLink was made on March 2, 2019. Team was deployed and connection was installed on March 14, 2019. Currently I’m running a 50mbps (FiberLink) and 30mbps (StormFiber) connection at my house. I will be downgrading my current SF connection to 10mbps and use it as backup for whenever FL goes down.

Internet setup Progress Report 2/3
I bought a TL-ER5120 (Gigabit Load Balance Broadband Router). See link for details: https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-4910_TL-ER5120.html
This helps me integrate both my ISP connections into a single one, but there is a catch 22. It only boosts your browsing and P2P (torrent) speeds. If you want to download a single file off the web or something then it won’t use both connections to download it, just the one will be utilized. But that being said having an integrated 50mbps + 30mbps = 80+mbps connection speed is amazing.
Best thing about the Load Balancer is that it becomes the sole DHCP provider and you don’t have to worry about the other two routers interfering with IPs or subnets with the load balancer. It was very easy and fast to setup as well!
The Dual Wan router will automatically switch to a single connection if any one of them goes down which is very convenient aka a fail-safe. This way I can ensure I am fully utilizing both my connections to the max without worrying about wasting any money. Also, there is always a plus of having two connections as your reliability of staying online goes up.

Internet setup Progress Report 3/3
Here are the online speed test results from early morning and evening today:
I am using multiple wired TP-LINK Archer C1200 gigabit routers around my house as Access Points for wireless connectivity. The APs have the same SSID and password but different channels so there is no interference and it does a decent job of seamlessly roaming. I have zero complains honestly. See router link for details: https://www.tp-link.com/us/products/details/cat-9_Archer-C1200.html
I have an all gigabit setup as I have multiple devices, a network attached storage (NAS) and IP cameras that even when idle use over 50mbps of my internal network bandwidth. Hence the need for 1000mbps devices as the 10/100mbps would choke all the time. And with such an internet speed I’d never be able to achieve it on a conventional router. One needs to use a 5Ghz Wi-Fi to get such speeds.
I hope this was as informative and fun to read as it was for me to write! Though my FL days have just begun, I am optimistic that it won’t bother me too much given I have a dual wan setup. Fingers crossed.

Here are the online speed test results from early morning and evening today:
- Between 2:30am to 9:00am you get double the speed hence the super high speed.
- This is the regular day speed I get.

Is there a software solution to combine both connections? I have tried Speedify and was not satisfactory.
Friends finally stormfiber and nayatel both are live in my area so which one to choose and how to choose as I may not get any test demo etc. Secondly if i select stormfiber then

For Stormfiber .30 Mbps these days is 5280, 10 Mbps is 2591.also if you are paying from a bank other then Hbl you pay 70 rupees bank charges additional
fup is 750 GB but I have seen that your speed doesnot decrease till you have crossed 1.5 TB .
also Stormfiber is the best connection for downloading and streaming sites like Netflix ,prime video .
the only thing it lags is when you play online games on it .at night time the pings go way too high .
hope this helps

750gb [emoji7] currently I am using ptcl 4mb + Zong 4g, on ptcl my monthly usage is around 40gb in a month (probably due to low speed) and Zong is 36gb but not enough for streaming videos. 750gb is more than enough...

Congratz on getting the connection installed. After it's been setup and working OK plz post a few pings.
Copy paste the code below in a notepad file and rename the extension to .bat
It will automatically ping valve's servers in multiple location. After it's done plz post the screen shot of the results. Thanks in advance.Spoiler: show
Here are results of PTCL VDSL
Can you make same for cs go too ?
We have disabled traderscore and are working on a fix. There was a bug with the plugin | Click for Discord

Just finished Diablo 4 season in hurry to play Fallout 4 but gamepass released another banger in the form of Star Wars on April 25th. Gamepass is a steal man. -
