I'm from A-1 Block Johar Town. The exchange that caters to my block is Faisal Town Exchange.

I've been inquiring about a fiber connection to my house FOR MONTHS now, and all i get to hear from the lineman is "abhi available nahi hai apkay area mai."
I'm pretty certain the lineman isnt being completely honest with me.


Is there any other way i can check availability of fiber in my area? Or should i ditch PTCL and move on to Fiberlink?

Thanks in advance!

If the DSL Lines in your area are coming from a fiber cabinet, push for a fiber connection.

If they're still copper lines, give PTCL the middle finger and move on to a different ISP.

Just got back from the exchange. The reps gave me a bs excuse about how they just started work on the lines around my house yesterday, and these copper lines would soon be able to handle up to 4mb within a week.

Upon inquiring about fiber, he said it's in the works and would take up to 4 months JUST TO GET PERMISSION TO DEPLOY FIBER CABLES IN MY AREA.

I think I should probably move on to another ISP. Stormfiber is months away from my block. Fiberlink is present, but I've heard many depressing tales from people about how they take months to set up your connection, and how frequently they face downtimes per month.

I've got HUGE 15, 16GB updates waiting to be downloaded on my ps4, and a measly 2mb connection with an SNR fluctuating between 6-13 can't handle them.

In the image you posted in the previous thread, your SEA pings seem fine, but EU is higher than usual. It was for me last night as well, fixed around 1 AM, EU is back to 180-190 ms for me.


I'm in RWP and on the 39.40.x.x pool.

The exchange guy says the issue is on their end (Valve) and that pings are high for everyone right now.
He's still checking it out with PIE though.

    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.
