Send them the IP ranges from the list, or just a screenshot of the Middle East, Singapore and Europe IPs and tell them to optimise it.
I've sent them. Lets see what they offer.

Well you'll be shocked to know that on Optix I get 50 to 55ms ping on (Middle East Server) in PUBG Mobile lobby, but in game it jumps to 130ms to 140ms. I really don't get that.

The strangest thing that I noticed that when ever I sit nearest to my Optix Device and play the Middle East Server I get the same ping just like in lobby which is 50ms to 55ms.

Currently this doesn't happen on TW since on TW the pings are high but the fluctuation is quite less, where as the ping jumps on Optix are quite high from 140ms to 600ms.

I'm using both for now TW which I got recently installed and Optix for past 3 years. I will stick with one which serves me well. Btw Transworld is too damn expensive as compared to Optix.

Today TW told me that I should get Static Ip's for better pings is that a good idea? Should I spend money on such thing ?

Cheap money making tactic by TES.

Complain to PTA if they don't fix the routing and are trying to charge you for static IP.

Here's why static IP won't necessarily help: the route from Transworld's servers to the internet is still botched.

In rare cases would they change routes according to the IPs (it's possible - we don't know), but generally, it's just a smokescreen.

I don't think they'll fix their routes - for starters, PTCL seems to be more hellbent on fixing their routes than Transworld are these days because PTCL's connectivity to the Middle East is better than Transworld's in most cases (try pinging 156.154.70.1 on Transworld and on PTCL, for instance). That's not to say PTCL is without faults (sometimes, their route to Singapore Equinix's datacenters sometimes go via Europe - which is very dumb - while Transworld go directly to Singapore from Karachi).

I wonder if ISPs can control these routes, or whether ISPs are dependent on PTCL/TW1 on determining the optimum route.

PTCL gives me around 50ms (I'm in Pindi).

But there are a few other sites which TW1 routes better to (can't find right now).

Oddly, sometimes, to Singapore, TW1 is about 20-25ms lower than PTCL. That's not earth shattering, but I did find it a bit interesting.

So what server should I connect on PUBG Mobile ? For lower pings.

lol. They told me Static IP won't help in getting better pings. worst isp ever in terms for gaming. IDK what have they done but I wasn't able to play cod warzone no matter what, I changed my dns and the game worked with 170ms ping. Now I am using a software and 58-70ms ping :D

This is true. This is the only reason why I have kept my upstream on TW instead of PIE. I play apex and I get optimum pings in Singapore and Bahrain but when I was on PIE, I used to get a little high pings (around 90-100) to Singapore and it becomes abruptly unstable sometimes and you can't even play because of huge spikes. The only downside of being on tw1 is that you get a little higher pings to EU West as compared to PIE. But nonetheless, everything looks so smooth when you are on tw1 upstream. Bandwidth doesn't get choked, less spikes and more importantly you experience smoothness in streaming, buffering etc. HUGE DIFFERENCE

Remove 25ms because of the pings between Pindi and Karachi, and still, Transworld is a little lower on these routes. However, Nexlinx's Looking Glass portal has a much longer ping for AWS Singapore (around 203ms, and it's based in Lahore).

So PTCL is unpredictable in these ways that sometimes, pings will be high for all connections to some servers, sometimes high for some connections, and sometimes normal for all connections. I don't know if Transworld has this issue. Additionally, when I had Nayatel (which used Tw1 back then), pings would vary at times - sometimes, when Google would take 45ms, it could go up to 200ms (random spikes). This jitter would muck up VOIP, and I don't game but it would affect gamers too. PTCL doesn't have these random spikes - it's either a level increase or a level decrease (i.e. if a ping is 160ms, it'll have a standard deviation of 2-3ms unlike Transworld whose standard deviation is sometimes 200ms). But when there's no erratic deviations, I've noticed GENERALLY, TW1 has lower pings by 20-50ms, although vice versa is true, so it's a mixed bag until we get another pipeline, another backbone provider, and some business sense.

    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.
