You'll pull your hair out, swear and curse the customer support guy, contemplate on going back to PTCL, and perhaps even spend a lot on oil/rickshaws/chinchis/Uber taking trips to their office.
But at the end of the day, you'll always browse on the same internet and think of how you won't get anything close to this for the same price. FiberLink may not be perfect, but I've stuck by it for about a year now. And I wouldn't change it for anything. Not even if Google Fiber miraculously finds its way into Pakistan (okay, maybe in that case, we'll see)!
Believe me the swear and curse part is no different in PTCL service either that's why i was looking for a new ISP. Now i can atleast give Fiberlink a try. Thanks!
As someone who has been a user of PTCL DSL for over a decade, I can very confidently tell you that the cursing / swearing you have to do with PTCL is nothing compared to what you have to do with Fiberlink.
That said, I still won't give up my Fiberlink connection because the speed / price combo is unmatched and no one seems to be close to offering something similar.
I thought PTCL might up its game after AAE-1 went online but looks like they're still taking the slow approach.

PTCL has already started a promotion in some areas of few cities where
5mb 2000rs
10mb 2500rs
50mb 4000rs
100mb 5000rs
My exchange doesn't even let me apply for a fiber based DSL line since they "only give copper connections to those who live within 500 meters of the exchange".
I doubt I can get anything above 10 Mbps even if they are offering them in my area.
Edit: also from what I've heard, it's not FTTH.

If it's vDSL then that's a load of horse shit, I had been after PTCL for years to get a vDSL connection at work, they always had unique excuses. The best one was, we only provide these services within X meters of the exchange
Anyone using fiberlink services in Gulshan Iqbal Block 13D? How long to get connection and its speeds or should I got for ptcl?
It is FTTH provided you're in an area where it's available.
I've got 50 Mbps for 4k/month on the new packages on PTCL FTTH and it works great.
From what i've heard, PTCL isn't rolling out FTTH on a large scale, they're focusing on vDSL2. So while you're lucky to have gotten FTTH i suspect that will not be the case for the rest of us.
I thought it was the opposite. Here in Rawalpindi at least, FTTH has started popping up in some areas outside Bahria Town.
However, I suppose the rollout of VDSL2 is a sensible and more affordable option for them as a company since the equipment and cables cost a whole lot less than FTTH.
It was down in F Block 52 minutes ago ( for 21 minutes ) but working now.
That is exclusive of taxes and line rent etc. Yes that is being offered by Ptcl in few areas.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
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. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

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.Necrokiller said:
