Has anyone noticed how shitty PTCL 8 MB connections have become? My connection doesn't lose sync but the downloading speed and browsing suffers adversely

is that 300gb limit still applicable on the 4mb connections? i got it once two years ago and now again... although i download constantly all this, i never got it again... so is it something that i need corrected? or should i pay? and what is with being upgraded to 8mb connections?

The limit is still there, but as you told me a few weeks/months ago ... they count data differently. I am now certain that they don't count torrents.

A few days ago, i asked for my bandwidth usage from Live Agent (at myPTCL) ... and when NetworkX in my PC was showing a total usage of 320GB, they told me i have only used 115GB something.

So not sure how they are counting. But, i am pretty sure they DO charge you Rs.5000 for the extra downloads.

Also, i don't know if i have mentioned this, but i tried to file a case against PTA for PTCL's behavior of charging Rs.5000, even if you exceed just 1GB extra ... while they should've been charging just for that extra 1GB. And the lady from PTA told me that a case against PTCL is already underway. That was like 3 or 4 months ago. Just mentioning it here, incase it has anything to do with them not charging (if such is the case) Rs.5000 extra.

And a new offer is available which says that you can upgrade your 4Mbps to 8Mbps for the same price. It was mentioned a few pages back, so you can check yourself. I don't remember the complete offer. Not sure if its mentioned on PTCL's website, because they are lazy. But it must have been mentioned on Facebook Page of PTCL. So help yourself.

I think they don't / can't count the bandwidth consumed by torrents.

Can you people please confirm the speeds you are getting on the 8mb connection.
I read earlier (few pages up) that members were getting 920-950 KBps.

My connection has never crossed 850 KBps - Upon asking PTCL, they say it will never increase more than that :mad:

Sometimes they upgrade ur port to 9250 downstream just to avoid line loses and it gives u above 900KBps on IDM and 850-870 around on torrents. Please check ur downsteam rate

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    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.
