With 4MB I used to have a download rate of almost 450kb/s. Was Expecting the download to cross 900kb/s but somehow mysteriously its 800+-.
I am still happy with it though. Double the speed for an extra 400Rs doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Have u got iptv too. If yes then ur sync is low or if u r not having iptv then get ur sync increased to 9000+ for achieving 950KB download speed.

No differences in browsing and uploading. Only difference u will see is on downloading speed. It is useless to convert on 8 mpbs it u are a normal user who don't download much like me

Bad times for ptcl has started .. The mf have started to bill customers for nothing.. Look the damn taxes its more than the dsl charges .. Fkheads charged me 1500rs for modem change .. Modem got fried and they charged me 1500rs.. To be honest i dont feel any difference in browsing even though I ave downgraded to 2Mbps frm 8.. Soon ptcl will be doomed !!!

What? Whaats going on? Did they change the terms again? Last I heard, 8MB package was for 2100rs untill december with unlimited downloads, and 2500 after that i think with 200GB download limit.
Can someone please confirm this? Because I'm downloading shit like crazy!

    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.

    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.
