Anybody tried the new path introduced by PTCL . Have you seen any improvement in ping, what about your overall network stability now?

People have been switching to FAST path for many years now, but PTCL finally launched it officially.

It'll reduce your ping to the gateway by 10-15 ms, resulting in an overall reduction in pings.

I am also going to switch but want to ask you that does it effect speed and stability of Internet?.
As you can see in below image that why i am worried about it

Post a screenshot of your line stats.

If your stats are normal, FAST path won't affect stability.

If your stats are weak and the line already disconnects without FAST, then don't switch.

i am VDSL2, and my Uploading speed has been reduced to 1mb from 4mb upload.
My connection is 8mb download and 4mb upload on VDSL2.

can anyone tell me is this normal to get reduced upload speed on PTCL Fast Path Low Latency service?

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
