At this point I'm beyond fed up.

Last month I had close to 3 million visits from a PTCL technical respondant, thanks to the PTCLCares twitter handle. However that didn't resolve it. The problem? Twitch.tv and most downloads initiated through the standard web browser pull only 10-20KB speed on my 4MB connection. Torrents work fine.

Can we get a twitter hashtag going for this?

^ I guess so, it has been fine for me. Getting 100-130 KB constant on 2 MB connection. (Medium Quality)

using 4meg PTCL connection here - twitch.tv works fine for me.

Are you viewing or uploading?


I also noticed you mention 'most downloads initiated using standard browser'. If that is the case, then twitch would probably not be the problem here, rather ur web browser not downloading at a reasonable speed.


Try the following:
shut down torrents (complete shut down of the application)
Use a different browser, a fresh install. I use chrome and it works like a charm.

Well, refer to the sticky guide in this section, and let people troubleshoot your connection. I am pretty sure it has got something to do with your connection, rather than the twitch.tv.

Alternatively, you can try the downloads using a VPN (say, using Zenmate on Chrome), and see how much download speeds do you get.

Also try changing DNS servers. Sometimes local PTCL DNS servers are overloaded and result in slow browsing. It might fix if you try other DNS servers.

[MENTION=28]USUF[/MENTION] it's exactly the same for me. Twitch streams run for 4 seconds and then buffering starts :( Torrents are giving full 200kbps speed, but twitch lags :/ Patanahi kya karun, DOTA nahi dekh pa raha :/

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
