Hey guys,

Due to some reasons I'm going to be living on the outskirts of Islamabad with 0 coverage from any ISP whatsoever, I've checked in with them.
I've always had Fibre and good internet and I'm not willing to compromise very easily and want to make my life easier everyday.
So I've laid down some options for myself:

Getting an Antenna with a 4G device and throwing a LAN down to my PC.
But ZONG has a 200GB limit per month.

Honestly feel like I'll just have to live without internet at this point.
Long gone are the days that I had to yell at PTCL employees (sorry guys) every single goddamn day of my life, I finally had some peace with Nayatel and a good PTCL Line man for a while but NO.
Let's just all move to the outskirts.

I think I'm going to go mental at this point, really.
Thank you all for listening.

I find it quite odd that G-12 has no coverage at all, when a friend of mine living in G-13 has Nayatel.

Are you sure there's not even basic PTCL copper infrastructure?

Beggars can't be choosers. You're getting ZONG 4G, which is pretty darn good but you also want an uncapped volume. That's no problem either if you could spend a hoard of money.

Could you do a traceroute to 8.8.8.8 and share the results here? I'm interested in seeing the latencies over satellite (which aren't good, as far as I know).

Total Rs 7000/- for Gen2 Dish (will be paid in installments)
Rs 3200/monthly for 8 MB unlimited package
Hmm nice.. On their website it says 3X speed.. U r not getting that..? Or is it not available here... On their fb page, they are advertising 3MB package gives 9MB speed.? I am confused.

    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.

    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.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    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.
