Ya.. well I can empathise with you. I have bidden adieu to Gaming because internet in Pakistan is not optimised for it.

Could anyone who has successfully changed their latency type to fast/path 0 comment on what they did to get it changed? I've called 1218 numerous times. Today, after being transferred between various departments (all of whom had no idea what latency or interleaving is), they registered my complaint as "online gaming lags"... I've DM'd PTCLCares on twitter, and have called my local exchange too, all to no avail.

If they were fully private, you might didn't have its coverage in first place.

Ask the Twitter guy to change your line path to fast.

Already did. No progress. Switching to VDSL now, and Fast path doesn't apply to it, it has its own methods to account for bad lines. Hoping pings will be better with it.

I recently switched from ADSL to VDSL. The pings are the same. The upload speed has significantly improved, from 1 to 5 mbps, on my 20mbps package. But the connection is still unreliable.

Changing line path to fast and then upgrading to VDSL = no use. As I want VDSL more than fast because of the higher upload.

Anyone using VDSL from F-8 Exchange, please let me know if there is any useful person inside the exchange to help me about VDSL as I personally can't go and visit them (I'm on a wheelchair).

So after getting no response from my exchange. I made a complaint to ptclcares on Twitter. It's been 2 days and still my port is set to 4mbps. How hard can it be to upgrade a port back to 8mbps where it originally was. Why do they make everything so difficult :(

Well it improved drastically for me ! . Aside from the download / upload speeds, i am getting 50-55 ms on Dubai servers , and 150-155 on EU Servers.

I never faced a single issue with my connection. Though i give a few hundred rupees to the line man after every 2-3 months (regardless if there are any issues or not). This always works in PTCL`s case !

    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.
