No disconnections here.

But slow downloading, slow browsing, however pings are okay. Restarted router but made no difference.

What's it this time? Technical issues or undersea cable damage again?

I am getting normal download speeds, downloading @ 1.2 MB/s on steam right now on a 12 Mbit connection. Browsing is a bit slow, maybe due to heavy rain. In my experience rain is the biggest nemesis of ptcl.

On a different story i visited my local ptcl exchange today to inquire about the status of my vdsl order which i placed on monday and the stupidity is they don't have vdsl modem available so told me it will be installed on upcoming monday.:laugh1:

Rain isn't supposed to affect fiber.

Also, make sure they give you the D-Link DSL-225 VDSL modem and not the crap Cellpipe one.

Thanks for the heads up but i will eventually get my own modem + router, as a matter of fact i am looking to buy TP-Link Archer VR600, it doesn't seem to be available anywhere in Pakistan so far.
Spent last couple of hours doing google search.

Modem + router combos are crap.

Use the PTCL VDSL modem, put it in bridge mode, and configure PPPoE on any good router that you'll choose and disable the WiFi on the PTCL modem and use your own router for all connections.

That's what i am using currently, the purpose of getting modem+router combo is to reduce clutter. I need to buy an AC router so i was thinking why not buy a modem + router combo.

In my opinion, having two 'dabbay' on the table looks nicer.
I had a wired ADSL modem hooked up to a Dual band router in bridge mode and it looked quite nice. All those blinking lights lol.

Anyway, for me and whoever I've tried helping out, modem/router combos are usually crap and annoying to work with. Especially TPLink ones.

Yeah, it was the same for me, IP assigned, nothing was working, so I went ahead and rebooted.
Now no IP and obviously nothing works.
Hasn't been working since early morning.

So far it seems only ISB/RWP users are affected.

Nothing unusual, happens during peak hours. Especially on weekends.

but everyday for around 2 weeks at same time ?
there's not been a single day except sunday i haven't faced this issue.
Depends also on the node in your area. If it gets overloaded during a certain period of time, performance tends to deteriorate during certain hours. In your case, during the evening.
Good question. Not too bothered though. Hardly ever use dropbox etc., or upload any youtube videos.
