So right now i have connect and i am pretty content with it but still pisses me off in some ways like no power backup and and cat 5 infrastructure with tp=link switches does cause some problems if not many. plus this dealers runs it like with a couple of workers so support is not available all the time.

so is stormfiber worth it? do they have power backup and what pings can i expect on dota 2 overwatch etc.

also is there a way to pay the installation charges in installments? don't really want to spend 5k to try it out. I am situated in pechs block 2 so if someone from my area can share their experience then that would be great.

Fiber doesnt require electric power for kilometers. I live near pechs block 2 althought stormfiber services are active in my area but yesterday my local cable guy shifted its services to cybernet, i am not sure its stormfiber but the trace route shows cybernet.

You can pay it in installments, yes. For 12 months.
are you talking about the 1200 per month for 12 months? that is ridiculous. that ends up costing about 14400 rs while right now you can get first month plus installation for 5000

these are all theoretical scenarios :p

all depends if they actually put fiber till the modem in your house etc. just wanted to get a feel of their real service cause nothing is as it is advertised

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
