I wonder why the official stormfiber thread that was created 2 years back is locked.
I just got connected today and so far the experience has been excellent! For the first time in my life I've been able to stream 1080p content on Youtube on a 4mb connection, something that had never been possible for me even on the best day at PTCL.The browsing is excellent, around 450kb/s download on torrents and 85ms ping to SE Asia in Dota 2(and the ping remains stable).
I'll post a detailed review in a week or two with screenshots and everything.For the time being, here's a picture of the device they provided.I can't figure out what brand it is since there's no mention of it and neither is searching the model id bringing up anything on google.
M.A and congrats on getting the best connection in Karachi. Can you tell us where you reside currently? (Phase or block).

Looking forward to your review.

Awaiting first week review as well.

How is consistency? Any downtime? If you've gamed, how smooth was your experience?

If possible, can you show the ping/trace in a program known as WinMTR? It's small and shows packet loss and stability. You can download it from here.

My first week has been great! Haven't had a single downtime at all.I haven't gamed much, just 2-3 games of Dota 2 on different days but the ping was stable 85ms and no packet losses.Speed has been consistent throughout, torrents at 450kbps, browsing has been smooth and streaming has been an absolute pleasure! I watch videos A LOT on Youtube and I had zero problems whatsoever streaming at 1080p.

My first week has been great! Haven't had a single downtime at all.I haven't gamed much, just 2-3 games of Dota 2 on different days but the ping was stable 85ms and no packet losses.Speed has been consistent throughout, torrents at 450kbps, browsing has been smooth and streaming has been an absolute pleasure! I watch videos A LOT on Youtube and I had zero problems whatsoever streaming at 1080p.
Thanks for the detailed reply. It seems Stormfiber really is the best choice for stability/consistency in Karachi.

Thanks man. These are pretty good pings compared to peetcl. Any game would be playable without a significant disadvantage on SEA and EU servers.

Storm Fiber reviews and feedback for users in Clifton, Karachi

Salaam guys,

I am an avid online PC gamer. I play only First Person Shooters. Counter Strike:GO to be exact. If you know much about first person shooters online, you know that PING is of high importance.

I have been using WorldCall for the past 2 years. On an average day, I will get about 60-75 ping. But recently, Worldcall's performance has gone to the dogs. Frequent disconnections, slow browsing for days at end, deteriorating performance at night etc, miserable customer service. The list goes on.

I recently came across an ad for Storm Fiber. Their prices seem reasonable. Before I jump the gun and drop 6000 to 7000 on just intallation charges, I wanted to get feedback from Storm Fiber users

1)How well are the internet speeds maintained throughout the day?
2)Do you experience slow downs?
3)How often do you encounter discontinuation of service for whatever reason?
4)How are the pings for your guys?
5)Would you recommend it to your fellow gamers?

Thanks in advance guys.

Thanks GrunT. I did go through that thread and your comments prior to posting this. I appreciate the fact that you left your feedback for the rest of the community.

I would still however like feedback from more people to be on the safe side. If you guys have Storm Fiber in the Clifton area, I would be grateful for a detailed review and your comments on the matter.

Thanks in advance!

it is rock solid
using it since 13 months and no problems :)

i have analog tv and now they are providing some hd box which i havent tried.

1 analog connection = 3 tv installations

fyi: there is some bullshit NAT about the IP , your ip is kinda of shared you have to purchase your static ip if you want to host ftp server etc.

I would be grateful if someone with a Storm Fiber connection could get me a screenshot of pings from various CS:Go servers. You can do this by going here ---> [Official] MM Server Picker 4.0 - Hit Update IPs! (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive > Tools > Other/Misc) - GAMEBANANA

This tool shows you pings to servers in various regions. i am attaching a screenshot of ping I just took as a sample. Please please please someone get this tool and attach a screenshot here.

Do hit refresh a few times so the ping is accurate.

I think this also works for DOTA 2 servers btw.
