TES is the least likely to have issues since they provide bandwidth to everyone else.

Certain countries and/or servers as well (EA, Valve etc).

Best fiber options in Lahore Cantt near Rahat Bakers? Have the PTCL 12mb but the disconnections are terrible. The PTCL technician on his umpteenth visit also suggested that I go for two separate 4mb connections as the copper wires in the area can only work so much on the faster packages without disruptions.

What other fiber to home available in islamabad beside nayatel?

Sent from my SM-G9287 using Tapatalk
None at all.
Nayatel and their crap packages OR
PTCL GPON and their extremely limited coverage.

Whereabouts in Islamabad are you?

Soan garden, nayatel is not available in my area.

Damn. Inquire at your local exchange if and when PTCL GPON will be available.

If not, then DSL will have to suffice until Nayatel decides to expand to Soan Garden.

They charge you for it. You can pay upfront or in installments.

There are 2 different installment plans that you can see on their website.

This isn't PTCL thread lol.
But if I'm not wrong IMEWE is still damaged and there is no estimated time of repair given yet.

They ve finished laying fiber lines in our lane. I saw the fiber cable and the connection slot is left just outside my gate in phase 3.

I called the local exchange and they said they dont know when it would be officially available...

1-2 weeks more.

When they were laying the cables in my street, it took them a bit more than a week after they closed everything up. Then one day a van came and the installation team set everything up.

Drop by the exchange and ask for Abu Bakr, ask him when it'll be active in your area.

The people who attend the phone calls at the exchange don't know their ass from their elbow. They didn't even know about VDSL, let alone GPON.

    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.

    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.
