Internet not working is completely different from Torrents not working. Torrent is different protocol and if throttled cannot affect HTTP traffic. So other problems might be user specific.
High Pings are a result of excessive routing PTCL has to use instead of normal Singapore nodes (Servers with 150 ping), So its possible that you may get unexpected low ping in completely different zone due to different routing.
Basically PTCL has to get the lost bandwidth through other channels because of repairs, which can be costly so they are throttling torrents to save costs.
I wonder now no one is happy even getting a 500KB, 700KB, or 350KB and complaining here. I live among modern day and on my 4MB I get around 400 when everything is good. I download HD movies, Games, etc and never felt suffocated, what you guys download 24hr and why you need 500+ KB is byond my understanding, I can hardly find anything to download after going through latest releases.
