Stop acting like you pay him to do your job "check it and get it fixed". You should be respecting the guy that he's willing to help people over gaming forums.
I am not being rude in anyway and I respect him and politely provided him the information he asked for. I don't know from what perspective you are looking at my post but I didn't mean it the way you are thinking it is.

So far I am happy with this service but I really need to know that why does Twitch buffer only on PTCL? It even works fine on my Ufone 3G but PTCL just can't handle a single 720p stream despite the routing being good. Any valid known reason for this?

Okay, So, I was about to say that the routing to twitch is fucked which it was a couple of months ago and many people tried to get it fixed (Some people over at the paki csgo community tried to get this fixed even) but eventually while there were improvements people still suffered issues.

Just now, I did a traceroute to twitch.tv and it seems like I'm getting 55ms to the server. A week ago I found out that cloud flare's DNS servers were the same 40ms ping.
(Note: I could get as low as 30ms as my friend does get this who lives down the street).

Does anyone know what is going on? Checking the end IP in the traceroute to twitch.tv points to the geolocation of US California. There are some IP's in b/w that point towards UAE, Dubai. The IP's before both of these point towards Karachi.

P.S The pings for Fortnite, Pubg and Pretty much all Ubisoft games or rather they've improved routings to Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure servers really.
There was a Facebook post in the PTCL Gaming lounge FB group. The person who (basically to my knowledge) started the push for local game servers within PTCL came back from the dead in this dead group and started announcing improvements in pings in Rainbow six siege, Fortnite and Pubg one by one. Many people commented that they were getting good pings while others (I was included) weren't getting good pings. I sent him a traceroute with my IP (2-3 times) and 2 weeks later (Without any Abuses will lead to baning or hassle) my pings improved.
I don't know the background of things but regardless I thought it would be nice to share this detail with you all.

Pings for Rainbow 6 were screwed up for me for months but thanks to Usman who got it fixed within like a week. All thanks to him and PTCL really need to start hiring people like him.

You can try reducing your ping by changing the modulation by switching to G.DMT - it could improve by up to 30ms in some cases.

I'm getting the same shitty ping on Singapore servers. Seems like @usmanghazanfar is away. Wait for him and he might be able to help us. It's really sad and annoying that we get 300+ ping to Singapore.

    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.

    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.

    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.
