Yes it most definitely will make a difference.

StormFiber has symmetrical down/up speeds. So if you get the 10 Mbps package, you'll get 10 down and up.

Pings are also pretty decent from what I hear.

Try it out.

I live in Phase 2. A friend of mine applied for a storm fiber 10mbit connection yesterday.
They're probably going to set it up for him in a weeks time.
If you want feedback concerning the 10mbit package, message me after a week. I'll let you know what he thinks.

I use PTCL myself. I am very much satisfied with the MSAG switch they made over an year ago(PTCL transformed(?)). I have 50mbit with fantastic line stats and a pretty good ping(HoN/Dota2). Speeds are always 'adequate' when not optimal.
They don't offer 50/100 so it won't entice me to switch just yet. Also, if I were to switch anytime, it'd be definitely rid myself of PTCL's ever ascending line-rent and WHT and not the performance or speed.

Yeap, this is 50. I get 6.2 MB/s (max) download and 5.5 average.
There's no reciprocal relation between my specific area connection with yours, so I didn't find it useful to post information other than SNR and attenuation.

This works for me in my area. Your mileage may vary. There are no guarantees it'll be the same for you.
I think load, equipment/hardware infrastructure, policy etc matter when it comes to different areas(provinces/cities).

Some basic queries about your msag. How far u are from connected msag? Did they install new underground copper wire from msag to dp's or running on old copper wires?

Exchange offering me direct connection from msag thats comes under 200 meters from my home And it would be befenical to get direct connection from msag through the ptcl drop wire because they install newly msag in my area in this month .
What's your opinion about it .

I'm sorry, I'm just a regular consumer. I don't have any specifics for you.
I signed up for PTCL's upgraded packages about an year ago and I suppose I got dealt a good hand(with The Almighty's will.)

Good luck.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
