They were supposed to come this morning to configure my ONT. So far, no sign of em.
My hope for them is running out by the passing second. Still got another ~4 hours left though.


@EliTuS
I'm sorry but I have to do this or my mind won't rest...

With all the delays happening in your area, it's quite possible other people may have given the linemen / installation guys some 'chai pani' or a nice crisp blue note straight out of an ATM to 'speed things up'.



Hopefully in your case they feel threatened by that and you might get yours done today.
Bakwas hai. The guy said 'aapki outdoor splicing rehti hai abi'. I said why? I was one of the first few people to apply. Sir aap second wave main.. Naa fuck that.

After some discussion with @AzizUrRehman it turns out, MSAGs aren't designed for FTTH. They can be retrofitted with the equipment that allows the use of FTTH, but that's only done in rare cases.

The proper way of deploying FTTH in an area would be through the use of FDH cabinets, like what's happening in Wah right now.

And 300 meters is no problem at all. I'm further than that from my MSAG and my FTTH line works fine.... usually.
So there is hope for me atleast :D I will keep my fingers crossed.

Complain to PTA here:

https://complaint.pta.gov.pk/public/complaint/onlinecomplaints

Works 99% of the time. Make sure to mention names of anyone you dealt with so that they know how to proceed with the inquiry. Speeds up the process a lot.
How long does it typically take for PTA to resolve complaints? My Citizens app complaint is sitting with PTCL since last week. This time they didn't even bother calling. My issue was fixed on Saturday but returning today. I had a whopping total of 24 hours of relief before upload died again. It's been a week now. No progress on PTA complaint yet. At least TV and download speed are fine right now though.

4-5 days for me.
The complaint on Citizens portal was never actually closed in my case.

PTA emailed me to say the complaint was resolved, but the portal app just says 'Complaint forwarded to PTCL'.

Why don't you all gather at once and go to your exchange and give them some real big bamboo? They will start the connections the same day. Unfortunately, this is the only way to get things done in Pakistan.

Lag gya k nhi? They had a long list of numbers to activate today.
I wasn't contacted at all today and no one showed up. But, my friend [MENTION=138082]saifi181[/MENTION] who lives in the same street and got the connection at the same time as me got a call today telling him that they'll visit him and set it all up before Iftari.
I haven't confirmed if his connection is up or not but I think it might be. Regardless, the guy convincingly asked me to stay home at monday morning (which I was) and he did not show up.
If he shows up tomorrow morning, I won't be here to greet him with a chappal as I have some stuff to take care of tomorrow morning. He told me that around 300 connections have been "installed" in officers colony and they all await configuration.
So, given that people will be visiting houses manually and configuring the ONT's... I guess it might take a week for everyone's connection to be up and running. I think most of the connections will be up and running before Eid in the Colony.

After having my Arm kissed by the road which lead to a very bad day...
I only hoped to return home to GOOD INTERNET and BETTER SPEEDS (HAWT UPLOAD SPEED).
But, I was disappointed as no one showed up to my house and no one has contacted me.
I'll ask my friend as his connection was being worked on yesterday.
Will report back with more details later tonight.

Damn. Hope you're OK. That's not the kinda kiss one wants.

These people are incompetent.

    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.
