Congrats. Keep visiting the exchange. It will speed up the process.
[MENTION=42544]murtaza12[/MENTION] These packet loss counters.. They're incremental I think. Like, in a week if it says 2100 that means an approximate of 300 packets were dropped daily.
It was working real-time for me since I was checking how much it would increase / decrease based on the way those technician monkeys would bend or twist the patch cord.

Only when it dropped below 100 did everything return to normal.

I'm that case, change the wire.

I have already got a new one. It didn't effect 1 bit of attenuation. According to my lineman when he was installing the new wire it was suppose to decrease the attenuation but that wasn't the case. :( My lineman is kinda annoyed with me cause i frequently make complaints so we are not on the best of terms so to speak.

and also check you wire connections are not loose refresh connections and make sure it is tight
They are tight from my end and i think its tight from DP as well. It's just the quality of the line i guess.

P.S: I have replaced splitters, wires etc every single thing nothing helps my attenuation.

Forgot to mention our DPs are sitting wide open, Birds often visit them some have made homes in them, I guess thats why our line quality is so shit!


UPDATE:

I think PTCL is working on its routing. Germany Servers have returned to 160-170 for me while United Kingdom servers still had a hiccup.

Well guys, i have given up. Launched a complain back in Ramadan regarding slow browsing. YES !! slow browsing meaning erratic behavior or sometimes page is un responsive. Can happen while surfing to any site. Anyhow, PTCL representative came and ironically when ever they came stupid internet becomes responsive for that particular hour :confused:. I would tell the guy that i will keep it on observation for the day and as soon as he leaves it starts to happen again. Downloading is fine, line parameters are ok Alhamdulillah but browsing (n)(n). Khair, so after keeping this complain live for almost a month, the exchange guys started to beg for closure of the complain. Few visits happened, problem still persists and i'm tired of pressing 2 so i resolved it. I have no idea what to do now? FYI my connection is on VDSL. Can anyone let me know what should i do? just keep refreshing pages for the rest of my life or launch another complain which would lead to nothing but idiots visiting my place.
Exactly same thing happening with me since May, have tried everything, complained, guy came. Checked everything but still no solution found nor any reason behind this.

It is in that group.

This fiber expansion and equipment upgrade at the exchange that you all have been so patiently waiting for is NTP.

Call first, once the 'order' is created in the system, then go to the exchange and ask someone to visit your house to configure the STB.

    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.
