After using stormfiber since September 2017 and I still kept my PTCL connection at 6mbps for backup purposes and got stormfiber due to TV services using same cabling for my home for analogue TVs and got fiber optic connection.
These are the cons of stormfiber to me so far since double NAT:
Pros of stormfiber:
Thus the day I get proper excuse or anything else I will be getting rid of stormfiber.
I am currently paying Rs. 1980/= for 6mbps connection of PTCL and it is not unlimited thus lower rate + Rs. 2641/= for triple play 10 mbps for stormfiber per month. Total price of Rs. 4621/= . I would be opting to go for 25mbps of PTCL when I leave Stormfiber, it would only cost me Rs. 4224/= only and better package(I am getting 2TB monthly Fair usage policy limit from PTCL FUP) compared to Stormfiber 20mbps at Rs. 3960/=.
These are the cons of stormfiber to me so far since double NAT:
- The changes of double NAT throwing a wrench in IP services for cameras etc alongside online game hosting of mine with old games, most don't even play except for few online friends.
- Now this fair usage policy out of nowhere to suspend/downgrade my account and no margin of error and that limit of 1TB on all packages including 100mbps connections.
- Alongside the rates compared with PTCL, PTCL have now better rates when comparing 25mbps and above packages to Stormfiber's 20mbps and above packages.
- PTCL smart app for digital TV's work very well.
- Stormfiber have more lag due to unknown thing for me. I have played direct IP games and public servers. Stormfibers have more lag than PTCL. Specially when self hosted games even though I used to host games on 1 mb upload and 8mp download connection. I still have PTCL to compare and it was the same.
Pros of stormfiber:
- So far always getting fixed in time, even though PTCL also get fixed in time for me. More like less breakdowns compared to PTCL.
- Digital tv channel range is good. But I haven't even checked the whole of PTCL smart TV. Nor of it's device.
Thus the day I get proper excuse or anything else I will be getting rid of stormfiber.
