After being with Mobilink/Linkdotnet (fiber, 2mbit CIR) for a year, I decided to try Wateen. Got in touch with them yesterday, they deployed the fiber today. I expect the splicing to happen tomorrow, and then they'll turn it on on-demand.

My mobilink contract expires end of April, so I'll wait until then (I guess). For anyone interested, my costs follow:
Setup is approximately 22-24k
Recurring is 16,261 for 20mbit + 1,400 for a /30 IP.
Downlink is guaranteed 20mbit, uplink is shared between 4; my to-be account manager on Wateen indicated I can expect 5-6mbit of upload at all times irrespective of on/off-peak. That's fair enough for me.

For comparison, over the last year, I've had Mobilink's corporate CIR fiber @ 2mbit down/up for PKR 20,178 per month. Setup cost me around 50k. So it's a no brainer I decided to jump ship.

Wateen's carrier is TES. They run PIE as backup. Mobilink's carrier is TES too. I also run an 8mbit PTCL DSL as backup. I'll perform ping tests once Wateen is online, for anyone interested.

Cheerio, and apologies for the messy-ish post structure.

My account manager said the team will splice the fiber on Saturday, and he'll then turn the internet on when I request it to be; I asked him to do so on May 1st. I'll get you all ping tests once it's online.

So the fiber was deployed a day after I spoke to my account manager. The splicing then happened about approximately 4 days later. They were going to switch it on the same day, but things didn't go my way and they had a fiber related problem in the area. Just got it resolved today, and got me online. I'm also paying for a static IP, as I require that among other things.

Let me know what IPs/hosts you need me to run ping tests to. Speeds are constant 20mbit, bursts to 23-24mbit at times download. Upload appears to be capped at 5mbit.

    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.
