The D-Link modem has issues with random connection drops, but a firmware update did fix it.

On a side note, PTCL needs to stop giving N300 routers for high speed connections, they should supply dual band modems for connections of 50 and 100 Mbps.

firmware was updated but still it hangs occasionally but was working okay since couple of years

If you want to, then go for it.

Otherwise I'd advise putting the VDSL modem in bridge mode, buying a decent router and dialing PPPoE from that.

what is the benefit of bridge mode instead of using modem for pppoe requests?
Click to expand...
If you don't put the modem in bridge mode and use a router with it, you'll have issues with double NAT due to 2 different private IP pools.

PTCL VDSL 20mb can't stream Twitch on 720p while my crappy Ufone 3G streams Twitch in 1080p 60fps. What the hell?? How is this possible? Even browsing is bad on Ufone but it handled that HD stream like a boss. WTF??

I think that's because the DNS server is taking you to Hong Kong's server (since the internet perceives that to be closer...whereas it's not). Google's DNS server redirects you to Hong Kong's server as well. Try using a DNS server that takes you to the Singaporean mirror.

PTCL has started laying fiber cables in my area. Now I have three ISPs offering GPON services, OPTIX, TES, and now PTCL. The main question is now which one should I choose.

PTCL will be good for downloading stuff, I was spoilt with 100 Mbps when I had it, everything was so quick.

TES is good for gaming and they'll usually help if you're having ping issues to certain servers. However, their billing is worse than you'd expect. Really needs some serious improvement. Packages above 30 Mbps also have terrible pricing.
100 Mbps for 13k? Seriously...

No personal experience with Optix, but my uncle had it when he lived in Lahore. He had no complaints, and from what I've read on Facebook, neither does anyone else.

Judging by your comments I think PTCL is a better option.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
