Pings to EU gone nuts. Never expected that I will get these pings on PTCL. Played a match in EUW yesterday with 125 ping and while my friend who's using stormfiber (transworld upstream) was getting more ping than me (135ms). :flame:

Which IP pool is this? Can you post traceroute of these IPs: 40.69.36.69, 52.232.42.122 and 137.116.145.73. Thank you.

I'm guessing this has more to do with his location than the IP pool. He's in karachi, judging by those pings. People in lahore/islamabad get at least 20ms higher pings.
If he is in Karachi getting 88ms to SEAS while I am in Lahore and never got below 100ms to SEAS even with fastpath then that is messed up. PTCL seriously needs to fix their shit.

It's because of random PTCL routing shit. Some ip pools are optimized, others are not. And I have seen people from Lahore getting same pings as mine on PTCL GPON mostly.

Karachi.
Any idea on how much improvement I will see in internet speed and ping if an MSAG is installed by PTCL nearby? (within 300-400 meters of my home).

Currently my connection has 25 SNR downstream, 15 Attenuation downstream, and max potential connection of 25000 Kbps downstream. My 8 Mbps connection gives a max download of 950 KBPS on steam, while hovering around 700-900 most of the time.

So what improvement in stats can be seen with the installation of MSAG nearby?

Your stats are pretty good to begin with.

You could probably even upgrade to 15 Mbps if you want.

Those stats are dream stats for copper users. What DSL modulation you are on? Adsl2+ or G.dmt? If I were you I would choose g.dmt on your line stats over adsl2+ if you aren't on the fast path

Nopes. Even Islamabad can't get this low to SEA servers. You're looking at 105+ ms.
I've been getting as low as 90 ms in game on Singapore servers (AWS), never below 90 though. This all started recently though.

Previously Singapore was always around 110-115 for me
I have heard that all PTCL data goes through Karachi before leaving the country even if the user is located in another city which can add up to the delay.
All submarine cables land at Karachi.

PTCLs main data center is also in Karachi. So yes, all data passes through there before leaving the country. Same for Transworld.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
