Dont do it, just dont. -.-
I am so fed up of Connect now. I am fuming. I just talked to their head office and the guy said that the torrents are indeed locked to 160 kbps on 4 mbps connection (I used to get around this much on 1 mbps PTCL lol). Whereas when I used to complain to my area Connect line person about it, he would always say that he'll get the speed fixed. :/ When I told him that the head office person told me on phone that 160 kbps is indeed the limit, he said that he knew about that all along. Wtf? Meri khuwaari kyun karwaye 3 mahinon tak phir bhens ki tang?
Regarding Twitch and Playit.pk streaming, the guy at the head office said that you need to connect the PC using a wire and not wifi router in order to stream properly. Chay bananay ki full koshish. Khair I'll be disconnecting Connect just after 3 months of installation. Chutiapay ki service hay, believe me. DSL/Broadband is much better and hassle free compared to Connect. PTCL has its faults and problems but when working fine, it works amazingly well.
Connect is very good for few things, like online gaming (pings of as low as 35 to Dubai DOTA 2 server and 90 to India server). And their 'portal' has all the latest pirated games uploaded a day or two after they are out. But for true internet stuff (like streaming, browsing, etc), you'll get stuck in a sub-par internet experience.
Personally, I had many problems with Connect. The main ones were streaming, VPN and downloading torrents. I need to download huge softwares (MATLAB, Simaris etc) for university, and can't afford to wait a week or so before download is finished. Had to get my friend to download the softwares at his connection. Regarding Streaming, I am a huge e-sports fan. I watch twitch at least 2-3 hours a day when I am bored. And the experience is so frustration, that even on the lowest setting (144p Mobile setting), the stream would lag for 5 seconds after playing for 5 seconds. This is unbearable for me. Regarding VPN, random sites where I buy stuff from (TigerDirect.ca, TheSource.ca) are banned on their connection for no reason at all :/ I don't watch porn etc but I need these websites to work, and there is no way for these sites to work since they've banned them and most/all fast VPN solutions.
TC AH Connect.net, you've been a hellish ride.
