To all those who are eager to get Connect connection. I must warn you first.

For Gamers:
You will get awesome pings to international as well as local servers but, there's a problem. The 'ping' will break after every 5 seconds because of their overcrowded DNS/VPN servers. Means, your online gaming will suffer (lag).

For Youtubers: There is no way you can run proxy or ip changing software to run youtube. It won't work. even if it works the speed will be miserable.

For torrentors: The torrents are capped to 1/3rd of your connection speed. you'll get 80kbps speed on 2mb connection.

For Movie Sharing (dodear):
They no doubt have a wide collection of movies, songs etc. But, speed is entirely based on luck. On some movies you'll get above 2-3 mbps speed but on some it won't go above 20-30 kbps.

For web browsing: Browsing is smooth, no issues in it.
all valid points.

as I said before for me its 1500/- well spent so fat. yes the whole VPN structure is very bourgeoisie but I just want good browsing and pings in 6-12 timing im home from work. Jis din tang keran gay us din nikalwa donga.

re; torrents speeds, they let it loose around 4am-11am period. regarding your comment abt pings breaking, ive noticed if you play during heavy traffic timings e.g. Sundays/Saturdays

Quite informative and that is why i am asking it to see wether i would go for it or not, and plus we dont know yet till for how long they won't increase the price of their purple package which is 3000/- per month right now and if they move to 4k or 5k with in a month then defanetly it would be out of budget for me at least

@mehmood115 their download limit is unlimited right ?
Yeah the only benefits you have are unlimited downloads, superb HD 1080p streaming. In midnight after 2:30 AM speed increase to 600 KBps till around 12 PM midday.

^^ Yup yup.

Go look in the ptcl thread. utter chaos :/

Im up for proper browsing and can settle for constant 150-200ms gaming.

Torrents etc are just a bonus :p

Re: Connect introduces new packages

Connect is DSL? I mean, I have had issues with DSL connections in the past with PTCL, the wire breaks and then no body comes to fix it. Also, is this with wifi or will I have to get my own router?

I have using 10Mbps connection, some posts back is the proof dont you see it ?

- - - Updated - - -

whatever you use you cant bypass the torrent speed limit. I have used hotspot shield with PTCL connection but after turning it on you are no longer able to download the torrent.
I have VIP accounts on the private trackers that I use, I neither have to maintain a ratio nor do I have to wait any specific period of time. In my case, can I expect full 10Mbps download speed? If I even get around 800kbps consistently, I'd consider getting this connection.

Well there is a confusion in your mind I think dont relate your VIP account with connection communication account, I have too private trackers accounts but torrent speed is limited here not there on your private tracker site so dont expect full speed.

Ok so i am here to clear out some confusions and i am in no way related to Connect. I have been using their services for past 6 7 months.. Uptime in my area is 99.9%. Furthermore, connect works on routers (TP LINK only) and i use hotspot sheild for youtube without any issue. As far as torrent throttling is concerned it has been a pathetic step by connect and yeah as most of the posts say that they let torrent free after midnight or 2am, i havent seen any such speeds with my bandwidth being monitored 24/7 by softwares installed on all my computers. Ohh and just for the records i use connect red
