Got upgraded to fiber yesterday talked to the lineman and installation guy asking for the 100 Mbps connection 3999 Pkr Deal they said its fine. Once everything got connected im only getting 50Mbps and now Ptcl on facebook is saying its impossible for me to get the 3999 100 Mbps deal its only for new connections.

Has anyone had this issue ?

Fiber ALWAYS has the lowest latency amongst all mediums.

DSL can add anywhere between 10ms and 40ms (depending on fastpath and whatnot).
Wireless (4G) can add about 15ms instead (but I know you're not using wireless).
Wifi will probably add 1 or 2 ms extra (but that's not the point of your post).

So you should get at least 10ms lower, and at most, 40ms lower.

PTCL users. Can you do a traceroute to these IP addresses and post your results here? Would appreciate it.

Contacting PTCL and explaining everything to them regarding IPs and routes would be a hassle and a long shot as they don't offer anything similar to Nayatel's Optimus unfortunately. Your best bet would be to use tools like Exitlag (cheapest), Lagofast, GearUP booster, etc.

ok I managed to do it. Huge thank you to whoever you are. Just followed this:


View attachment 95762

Port binding I did to lan 1.

In my Asus router all I did was PPPoE and put the username and password. MTU was already 1492. No need to add vlan ID .

And this thread is appropriately named, same old BS indeed. The password they gave me for PPPoE was wrong. I tried ptcl which some suggested here and that worked.
Could you please share the speed test results after switching to Bridge Mode? I've heard that someone experienced a decrease in upload speed, only getting 10 Mbps instead of the expected full upload speed according to their package. Thanks!

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

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

    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.
