Well I actually live in numaish. And I actually stream videos, play online games (cs, cod) and download via torrents ALOT!!! And with PTCL i get around 400-410 kbps with 4 MBps connection. Will it be the same for fariya? And what about the downtime and the customer service in numaish from fariya?
Sorry for asking alot of questions! =)
Thnx in advance

I got connect yesterday and ran it for a whole day without the router(the dealer had taken it for setup). Yesterday and this morning, I was getting around 2-3mbps but right now(I've connected the router now) I'm getting no more than 0.1mbps. I know its a shared connection but this is such a drastic drop in speed. Is it normal on shared cable network?

CS seems to be working fine which means there isn't a problem with the connection.

connet sucks big time in peak working hours, forget about downloading and video streaming!
this is the only reason why i shifted back to ptcl
atleast u get constant speed whole day!

Getting connect was a mistake. Speeds even at aroun 11pm are pathetic.

Btw, can someone suggest me the best way to unblock websites on connect? Zenmate isn't working that well on connect.

Chay panay ki service hay -.-

I have their Red package, and this is my review:

They are throttling many sites imo. Sites like Twitch are being throttled so much that stream lags even on low setting :( Speedtest only gives solid speed (in my case 4 Mbps) from Pakistani servers. From anywhere else, the speed is below 1 Mbps. Random sites like TigerDirect.ca (from where I buy some of my stuff) are banned for no reason at all :/

Famous sites like AMD/Nvidia sites for example provide solid speed. Any other less known site will give less speeds, sometimes even as low as 30 kB/s.

Torrents for me and my cousin are capped at 160 Kbps. I contacted the service guy and he gave me a number of another guy and... well you know, topi drama. Service man is the typical 'chutia bananay ki machine' guy.

VPNs are banned, and so are Open and Google DNS.

Stay away from this connection. It's all smoke and mirrors. The real speeds are way worse than what is advertised.

Guys now a days what MTU Size are you using with your Router for Connect?

Previously i was using 1400 it worked well for last 1.5 year but now it is giving a lot of issues sometimes the browsing is extremely slow and sometimes it does not browse at all. I have tried to change it to 1420, 1399 and 1390 they work for few minutes and then again the same problem.

at this moment it is 1390 and websites are taking a lot of time to load

Mine's set to 1400 since forever and it works fine. Try hard resetting your router and setting every thing up from scratch.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    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.
