Can be related because Ptcl might be using a backup route till the cable issue is fixed and pings will be the same again.

No, not due to backup link or anything. I worked with PTCL back then and they indeed didn't have transit towards Valve DXB.

Now PTCL has a PoP with valve's DXB provider, hence a direct route. Confirm via traceroute, the last hop is actually in DXB just like ptcl's Singapore link towards Valve SGP

P.s confirmed about the above today

thanks
so ya what were the costs and what are your pings to europe and if u know for league of legends that would be good too thanks man
If you could give me a server IP, I'd be able to help you out a bit better.

On a side note, because of the submarine cable damage, pings to EU are slightly affected since I get crap pings (280+ ms) to EA's Europe servers.

GPON has no installation costs, just 3,000 for a new connection that you pay at the PCPM in the exchange and then they'll come around to install it in a few days.

There is no 10 Mbps package.
For me it was around 4.6 or 4.7k on the 12 Mbps package.

Just wanted to confirm if PTCL's underwater cables or whatever are still damaged. Getting very high pings on the EU servers of pretty much every game I play. Does anyone have a workaround for this? One of those gamer VPN apps like battleping or lowerping maybe?

Facing frequent desyncs, fluctuating SNR after the latest underwater cable damage. Line attenuation is at an acceptable level. Anyone facing similar problems or something's wrong with my line?

Ok so Probably everyone knows about SHITTY PTCL is but i am posting it anyways just for people to avoid this scum bag of a Company

" I shifted to Jauhar Block 2 Karachi and was looking for a reliable internet connection. There were no good Local Cable walas available here , and my trusty PTCL Charji was struggling for its HAWAI SIGNALs. My only option was to go for PTCL , i called their helpline and asked if their VDSL is available here. I was told that yes it is but you`ll have to confirm it from your exchange.

I went to the exchange and spoke with their manager about 12mbps/3mbps connection, he told me that yes its available here and i`ll have to deposit 3k as their service charges and the connection would be setup on the same day. There were a lot of people in the exchange who were their to return their DSL routers because of their shitty service. I told my self every1 is returning theirs and here i am opting or them. Then i did what should not have done , i deposited their 3k amount and the CSR manager sent me inside to a guy and said that please meet with him ,he`ll get your connection working by Maghrib.

I went to the guy who was using MS Word`s spell Checker to correct spellings on his computer. I asked him about my connection , he was silent and continued his spell check (he did not know the spelling of VISITS ,lol) . Anyways he told me that i am sending the line man over to you. I went back.

All of this was on the 31st of December Saturday , no one came over to my place. I never received any calls or feedback etc. I asked my parents to go check with the exchange and ask them about our connection. When in exchange the same guy told my ammi " Bibi ap apnay betay ko bolain k VDSL na le normal wala le le woh bohat hota hai " " VDSL ka card available nahi hai and it will take alot of time to purchase that card " .

My mother came back after that, today i called PTCL`s CSR department and had to abuse them to an extent ( i feel sorry for a particular Girl who was their supervisor , i had to literally shout at her , because she was being ignorant (story of every ptcl employee).

Surprisingly i got a call from their back end department after a few hours who said that this particular CARD is not available and it costs a few lacs , so PTCL`s operation manager is setting up a meeting to discuss if this should be made available for just 1 customer in the area. I told that guy , i am no longer interested in this Shit , i want my money back. The guy promised that he`ll call back by tommorow and will update if this card is purchased or not. He was unable to answer my question that if the particular equipment was not there , why was my connection request processed and i was asked to deposit the charges so quickly !


This is the latest story as of today.

One quick question

Is there any particular email of any higher management in PTCL or PTA where i an escalate this issue to ? i do not care about the 3k , but i will make a living hell out of the guy who said that the connection is avilable (I already quoted his name and details over to the backend / so called PTCL Delay department)

I'm 99% sure it's the correct one, but I'll confirm it in the morning when I get home. (It does function as a router as well though)

Don't know about that, but for me it had the feature of working as an access point out of the Box. I'm currently using it to extend the signals of my Chachu's PTCL router on the 1st floor [emoji14]

Obviously, what I meant was that I didn't update or tinker with the firmware. Connected wirelessly. Yeah will check in the morning.

YouTube is down in Pakistan as I am only able to use it through VPN and I haven't used any other internet rather than PTCL 4mbps so I have no idea if it's only me or the issue is related to everyone.
