ptcl gpon services review please

More reliable than DSL and ability to get packages higher than 20 Mbps are your only benefits.
Other than that, pings are barely 10-15ms lower than DSL and you'll get the same 8 Mbps speed on DSL but with a 2 Mbps upload instead.
What do you mean?
I already said it'd be more reliable. There will be no linemen involved EVER with GPON and you will have no disconnections, or de-sync issues or any reason to call customer support.
I had to get a new line.
They weren't able to transfer my old number to the GPON line.
Different series as well.
Normal numbers in Bahria are either 570x or 573x, but all the GPON ones are 272x.
Go to your exchange. Some of them can transfer the number but it's usually not possible.

PTCL is such an old ISP and its pathetic that most areas are still using old copper wires that are very unstable now. They would have covered alot of areas with Fiber Optic by now but guess what? They are lazy or too cheap to invest in improving their pathetic service. I have spent my entire life in Saudi Arabia and just recently moved here and almost all areas were covered with FTTH service either by STC or Mobily. Even STCs DSL service was pretty solid compared to crap PTCL BB. STC is the largest provider in KSA just like PTCL is in Pakistan but they never failed to provide quick support unlike PTCL that just constantly ignore all my complaints. My PTCL line is very unstable and sometimes its impossible to game unlike STC DSL which provided constant 6mbps with a stable line even during peak hours. Later i switched to Mobily FTTH as i download alot of games and movies and it was only 25mbps service but for some reason performed much better than my cousins 40mbps Fiberlink for gaming and loading webpages due to Mobilys investment in direct peering to game servers, social and streaming websites. Im sorry but its frustrating when you are used to low ping and opening up webpages instantly. That is just my experience with ISPs in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. Sorry for the long post. Im frustrated with PTCL.

Is there any way to chk my package details on my modem homepage.
Like the old ptcl modem showed upstream and downstream. I cant see anything like that in my ptcl gpon device.

Go to the exchange, ask for Hassan, tell him your issue. He's a diligent and helpful guy, he'll happily help you out.
GPON is not available in WT but VDSL is you can shift to VDSL much better than ADSL

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. -
SolitarySoldier:
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. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
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.Necrokiller said:
