Android's default behavior for switching between APs is a bit weird as it tries to remain connected to one AP even if the strength has dropped significantly low so this tip while in theory sounds good but doesn't work as smoothly as it should. Can't say if iOS handles it differently.

I have similar issue. I have upgraded my ptcl broadband package to 30mbps from 15mbps. But downstream rate is exactly same as of 15mbps. Is 1212 helpline still works ? How should i rectify this ? The lineman claims that he can't do anything. What should i do ?
I think it depends on the phone - my phone doesn't do that.
But my work laptop did (it would always pick the farthest signal for some unknown reason).
I even tried reducing the power on the secondary router (the one that was upstairs, which the laptop was connecting to) but no dice. In the end, I blacklisted my laptop's MAC from the second router lol.
With VPN, everything is fine. I think it's PTCL shitty routing as usual. Even this forum is taking long to load.
I know Fastly (the CDN that hosts Reddit) in the Middle East or wherever is quite messed up. Sometimes the Singapore one is messed up. There's really no other way to bypass a CDN that's "closest" to your internet IP routing other than by using a VPN.
Are you able to access Amazon.com at normal speed? What about the BBC website? Al Jazeera? These are all hosted on different CDNs.

Yeah for now everything seems fine but will have to check again during peak hours.
It's a hit and miss with Reddit (or even Imgur) since both are served by Fastly.
Either PTCL finds a new route (which may not have the lowest latency) or Fastly fixes their servers (everyone, apparently, says Reddit is slow, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
PTCL's route to Asians servers like Singapore and Hong Kong is always quite inconsistent especially latency-wise in some games like Apex. Some days you get 300+ latency and sometimes around 100-120. VPNs usually fix it but I wonder why is it hard so hard for PTCL to find a consistent route to these servers.
Moreover, our browsing speeds are also quite average if we compare it to for example KSA where webpages load instantly even on public WiFi networks. PTCL has come a long way and their GPON service is good but they still have alot to improve.
Well...
The Middle East has internet filters as well.
I think Karachi might be better in terms of browsing speed (because their latency to the UAE is around 20-25ms). Pindi/Isb to UAE, at best, is around 40 ms.
And some companies have datacenters in the Middle East, but the ME has (fairly) good connectivity with Europe, so they have choices.
Otherwise, tbh, I can't say I've witnessed a drastic improvement. It helps with images but the difference between 20ms and 50ms isn't really noticeable. A bigger difference can be noticed between 100ms and 200ms, though.

its not working for me on my ztef670l
every time i choose bridge and save and when i went to port binding it goes back to default routing instead of bridge
I recently got upgraded to FlashFiber and was given the F670 ONT. I was using smart tv over wifi with VDSL connection but with this ONT the landline guy said Smart Tv only works over LAN and i will have to connect a lan cable ( which will be a hastle because my Tv setup is far away from modem). So is there a way to make Smart Tv work over wifi ? ( without adding another router )
I think you should only use cable now, it's a good thing, that means your network will not be flooded with unnecessary packets all the time, also your mobile and battery devices will last longer time because of it. you can enable igmp spoofing but it's a ptcl device, probably not that feature rich.
if you still bent on using wifi, there may be an option in interface grouping. check the interface iptv is using and then add the wifi to the bridge.
PTCL has improved on VDSL or its still the same? I am planning to install a back up internet at home. I already have nayatel but I want one more internet as my requirement is a bit more. i dont want to increase nayatel as its not worth it with unlimited option of 1.5TB whereas I get unlimited in nights
PTCL's Huawei and Alcatel ONTs can't be put in to bridge mode. Only the ZTE ones can as far as I know, and even that is unofficially supported. PTCL doesn't offer bridge mode at all on FTTH.
Even if you manage to do so, the OLT will re-write the config and revert whatever changes you've made.

I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there

The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol -
Necrokiller:
It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.

Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already. -
XPremiuM:
Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

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

SolitarySoldier:
"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
