I think (my uninformed opinion) ISPs around the world have peering agreements - for e.g., TW1 has one with Google (which is why pings to Google's websites are now ~50ms vs. 100ms or 160ms) and with a few others as well (not referring to CDNs) - and it could be why [MENTION=36166]iNCEPTiON[/MENTION]'s IP address gives low pings to TW1 users - because of some peering between the ISPs/backones. I don't know why they can't peer properly. But - one more thing - notice how all international bandwidth Pakistan is connected to links up to Oman/UAE (the Middle East) and India - we can get fairly decent pings to some Middle Eastern websites, but India - which is closer to us - doesn't even come anywhere close. I don't even know why - it just doesn't make sense.

Your first point is correct. Though both PTCL and TW have peering agreements with Google (and similar content providers, e.g. Facebook), the difference in ping is due to the fact that both have different commercial agreements i.e. depending on physical link feasibility and financial (read cheap) reasons, they peer with Google via providers in two different countries. Which brings me to the next point, Oman & UAE use large neutral POPs and are major data hubs that peer with other Internet Exchanges all over the world due to their sheer amount of investment and submarine capacity. And since I've seen people mentioning India quite a few times here's my 2 cents - the situation with India is quite complicated (duh). Even though there's plenty of capacity between the two countries, at this moment in time peering agreements are hard to reach owing to the political situation (and perhaps more importantly for ISPs - network security, which I won't go into). At the moment it's easier and cheaper to rely on other carriers for data transit rather than direct peering.

We got an internet guy here!

Thanks for the detailed info - appreciate it. That's why I qualified my post with the statement that this is my uninformed opinion because I don't have a lot of knowledge in these things. But thanks for stepping in!

So I have a Jazz data sim and a Jazz MBB wingle but the download speed I am getting on them are nowhere near the speeds I get on my Jazz Gold number. I have tested all 3 of them in different locations.Only conclusion is that Jazz is throttling the speed of their MBB devices even though they offer competitive packages compared to Zong. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

This is well under PTA's set limit for 4G. You can lodge a complaint to Zong and PTA as well.

Charji LTE is available in many cities but PTCL will tell only handful of cities where they claim Charji services are available. I asked them about Sargodha and they straight away told me that Charji services are not available in Sargodha. When I turned on my device in Sargodha with the hope that 9.3 Mbps 3G would work here, device was catching LTE signals. I recharged the device and speed in Sargodha jumped to 2MB/s while downloading torrent which means at least 16 Mbps speed. Check Charji signals if you or your someone has the device.

In fsd they are replacing it free. Can't tell about abbotabad. You can visit exchange for device replacement or call help line for its status. Original person with cnic is required for replacement. Heared that retailers are giving free device upon purchase of a bundle. But not confirmed.
