I am noticing that torrents are being throttled since yesterday. Randomly, it boosts to 300+ (on a 4Mbps), but mostly its almost dead (5-10kbps, that too sometimes).

Getting a lot of disconnections, so I complained. Got a call from exchange and the guy said to fix the wires with the DP box outside my gate?! How unprofessional. He said it'll be too long a journey to send a guy so I should do it myself. WTF.
I don't know shit about telephone wires or how to fix it, because the wires outside are joined together with tape (by the dickhead lineman), the guy on the phone said that because of rain, the wires might have become a bit damp and that's why I have crackling sounds in my landline and an unlimited amount of disconnections.

What should I do? Complain again or try and fix it myself?

lol... man laughing hard at this...

You know what I was thinking... Grab someone with knowledge and fix it yourself. At least you'll have the satisfaction. And I'm sure you'll get the mechanism.

Yeah.
Torrents and streams are running incredibly crap (i too have a 4Mbps). At the very least direct HTTP downloads seem to be running at their usual 500+ kbps, which is nice.

Ping issue resolved or still there? Plus very bad streaming on my end
Ping issue and disconnection issue is still here for me. Cod and BF4 are lagging and only getting 1-2 bars online.
lol I can't stop laughing at this. Also try complaining to the PTCLCares guy. In fact tell him the whole story.

I'll do that, but first I'll call the local exchange and tell them to send a lineman who isn't a dickhead.

I'm not getting more than 1mbps whether it's direct dloading, torrents or speed test. Ptcl said they would resolve the issue in 12-24 hrs but nothing has happened :(. Thank God I haven't paid them anything yet and I dont intend to if they don't fix my issue.

Anyone who has a 2 Mbps connection, can you tell me how well streaming from Twitch is? Does it work smoothly on low settings, without any sort of buffering etc?

How does it work for you right now? On connect, I get 10 seconds of buffering and 3 seconds of playback. I am not kidding or exaggerating.

Torrent Throttling started again. It was fine during the day, but at around 7pm, ptcl started throttling.

    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.

    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.
