Anyone else's PTCL being complete dog shit?

Browsing is impossible on some websites, and downloading is pretty bad as well. YouTube seems to be working but everything else sucks and has been since earlier today.

Yep, Here in Wah the Internet is crawling. Pings are in excess of 350 to Eu and Though YouTube is streaming fine, the browsing is quite painful.

For those wondering what the hell is wrong with PTCL, international bandwidth is crippled because IMEWE is down (as I said earlier in this thread) and SMW4 has a planned activity from 9th to 13th September, which started on schedule. Past couple of months have been pretty rough due to repeated faults in multiple cables. Even when this phase is over, I doubt things will get better for gamers because basically I've come to the realization that some dinosaurs don't really know how to make the best use of their cables with commercial deals. For example actual pings to EU range from 70~90ms, yet nothing has been done so far to actually make good use of this.

So your only hope is probably doing what [MENTION=138674]MS1104[/MENTION] is doing in the other thread. Take it up to the companies that are running gaming servers and have them either strike a deal with PTCL to advertise their IPs or get peered through intermediate carriers for transit. Ofcourse this largely depends on their support and how far they are willing to go to provide their players better pings because PTCL itself certainly doesn't care enough (or understand it at senior management level). However one can only hope.

mine is mda exchange multan and yeh adsl2 connection is running like shit since cable cut . Pings are damn high .tang akar 12 Mbps se 1 Mbps per agaya hoon . Algae step main connection katwa doon ga . Telenor 4g per merae pas 20 Mbps tak speed ajati ha . Ping bhi 70 se low arahi ha . Might buy its 4g device modem
Currently using Zongs 4G device, have the 50gb yearly package as a backup. Ping isn't stable enough to play League though, one minute it's 170 and the other it's 300.

On my end, my pings to all of europe have gone to 300ms. Although the ping to singapore generally has come down to about 150ms, idk what is going on there. but something is messed up on ptcl's part, either they dont know how to manage connection or they dont even know anything. Everyday a new issue arises out of blue from these idiots. Have contacted the twitter guy. Lets see even if he can understand what's ping.
They won't ever understand they're to dumb for it lol.

Spoiler: show

It becomes fast


Spoiler: show

FAST is actually a line path for DSL that reduces the ping or latency to your DSLAM/Gateway therefore reducing the actual ping to the end server as well.

Go on Twitter, find the account called PTCLCares and spam the crap out of their DM Inbox with requests to change your line path to Fast.

You need really good line stats to be able to switch to Fast though, if you ask them to switch and your line stats are bad, get ready for a world of even poorer service, frequent disconnections and generally an unstable line.

    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.
