I called Ptcl today to register my compalaint and the operator told me that I had 1mbps 10gb connection even though I ordered a 2mbps unlimited package, then he forwarded me to another person whom I had to tell the story from the beggining and finally he agreed to upgrade my package to 2mbps. It's been 6 hours since then and still I'm getting 1mbps speed. This was my 2nd complaint and the first guy I talked to the day before yesterday didn't even tell me that I'm on 1mbps package, he just told me that my problem will be resolved in 24 hours.

Dropped a Tweet to PTCLCares guy @ twitter, and asked him about torrent throttling, slow browsing and high pings. He says PTCL isn't throttling torrents :S [MENTION=11094]StrikerX[/MENTION]! [MENTION=26]Chandoo[/MENTION]! What gives?

of course he's gonna say that :p
he's a PTCL employee afterall, they can't go around admitting if they're throlling speeds.
Well, contrary to the regular chawal log in PTCL including the high haramkhor officials, he is genuinely helpful. He has always proved helpful whenever torrents were being throttled, unnecessary websites being blocked, or even pings etc. StrikerX may attest to that.

Anyway, apparently, public trackers are f*cked up for whatever reason. I just tried a private tracker, and to my surprise, its working fine :S A Public torrent, even a well seeded torrent (with active seeds crossing 300, and nearly zero active leechers). Not sure if its a Public Torrent specific problem, or its PTCL. My doubts are still on PTCL, because not only browsing is suckiest of all recently, but download speeds (usual downloads) are also greatly affected.

Oh well ... just another day :(

[MENTION=26]Chandoo[/MENTION] and Guys, no throttling going on here. Getting max speed on everything, Alhamdulilah. No idea why you are facing these issues.

[MENTION=26661]Cerberus[/MENTION] ! So its not a line fault :S How often do you get disconnections? Why not visit your local exchange, and ask them for a visit? They'll definitely oblige if you ask nicely.

    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.
