Need some info here! I was told by my lineman that in order to get VDSL my copper wire needs to be replaced as the old one can't support VDSL. Secondly ( The lineman saying) it will be impossible to get VDSL on existing phone number, in short, I should have to apply for a new number or give him some bribe to enable it on the existing number. Kindly help me in this matter.

If he is asking for bribe then contact 1218 and complaint him to them. Make sure you have his full name and his phone number.

Yes VDSL requires a new wire and a new modem. You just have to call 1218 and ask them to change your number to Fiber and it will work.

nice why you are still using 8mb instead of 10mb? or VDSL?

Well. Whenever i did upgradation of my package. Each time they forgets to add downstream of smart tv then it becomes nightmare to get smart tv bandwidth from them. So thats y sticking to dsl 8mb. N once i have enough patience then go for this exercise.

Vdsl not available. M waiting for it.

modem and wire will be replaced. however you don't need to get a new PTCL landline number for VDSL as mine was never changed as well.

Anyone having issues with ping spikes in lahore? I've been having high pings of around 140ms when speedtesting and it's causing unusually high pings in different games. Already complained and it's been 4 days with no answer. Any idea what's going on? Line stats are all good.

Well , just few mins earlier my line profile got updated and I'm getting 25mb uploading speed right now . Anyone else with such update ?

 

[Netherdrake081]

first let us know how far away is your house from exchange or how far away is msag or cabinet and how far away is your home from ptcl pole or DP?

It is 2.4km away from my home according to google maps

wow great speed. Can anyone else using VDSL confirm what upload and download speeds they are getting?

 

[frac]

What's the usual download speed users get with a 20mbps connection? Is it a complete 20mb or somewhere around 18?

He is most likely fishing for some money. I was upgraded to VDSL on the same number as I had before, although the drop cable did get changed. Make sure to not pay your lineman anything. You will get charged for all expenses in the next month's bill.

I have an Excel Workbook which can calculate your PTCL monthly bill based on your services and their charges. The link to the file is below:

No idea. I just searched up PTCL exchange on google maps and told you nearest exchange distance.

 

[9Meez]

That's a good step ahead of doubling up the upload speeds. I am on 20MB VDSL. Will check after getting back to home today.

 

[Farrukhkazimi]

My upload speed is not doubled. Seems like I have put up a request.
