Lol you are the only person who gets high speeds on PTCL. I too get around 95-105KB/sec and not the full 128KB/sec on 1 MBPS connection :(

theoretically speaking you can't get 128 KB/s unless exchange is next to your home.....the only problem with PTCL for me was with their DNS servers..but Google's helped :3

thats because its 2mbps downgraded to 1mbps, but ptcl forgot about downgrading the speed also :p
yes they are mad they always do the same
if you upgrade 1mb to 2mb then speed will update in about a month (after many complains ) and if you downgrade 2mb into 1mb then they will never change the speed :D

I have changed my DSL speed about 5-6 times now in the last couple of months, it took 1 hour after my call for the speed to change.

Yaar Amaar, Sunny and Energy are right.

I too sometimes experience slow speeds. When called for help, they respond after a week or so. I have heard from many places that they are slow workers and dont respond to situations well.

I've been very lucky with PTCL customer care. Whenever I've had any DSL related issue, it usually got resolved within 24 hours. Sometimes all it took was one call and after 1 or 2 hours the issue was resolved. A few months ago my line got a lot of noise, it took 1 day for the line man to come and change the entire cable right from the telephone pole to my router.

Yes, you are right about that.

There's a difference between phone line issues and upgrading/downgrading broadband. When you register a complain via phone, it gets registered in their automated system, so unless they don't solve it and you don't confirm it to the phone call made by the computer, it'll get their day messed up. But when you call for technical broadband issues and talk directly to the operator, you know how long they keep you on hold because there's no one getting on their nerves.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
