[OT] .::The Official Mega PTCL Thread::. -- New lines, same old BS

It's HG8145V5 from Ptcl and my router is Ruijie reyee RG-EW3200GX but when i put vlan 10 on 802.1q tag vlan 10 on Ruijie it doesn't work but work on bridge when vlan is off but qos doesn't work properly and i want to put iptv on ptcl router only vlan for internet on my Ruijie router
I think you need to use iptv and internet vlan in the router not in the modem. And ftth also has vlan for telephone. I don't know how does it work
Anyone link me to a guide or a post about connecting a VDSL modem to an ONT? I want to use the ptcl VDSL modem that I already have as an extender for my wifi. (and please dumb it down for me if possible bc im not too familiar with networking terms)
Guys I recently got a new connection with PTCL, the 100 Mbps one, I got the ZTE f670L router from them. Are there any optimal settings I need to apply? Also, I have a question why is the download and upload latency so bad while doing a speed test? Also, I think I am experiencing some rubberbanding as well. Any tips or advice would be appreciated.
P.S: One more thing is there a list of websites which are banned? Tenor.com doesn't seem to be working for me.

Download/upload latency worsens when you're ACTIVELY using the network and saturating your link. If you use 4G, you'll see it's worse. It's even worse on 3G.
Fiber still has much lower latency. I don't know what's normal, but in my experience, the download/upload latency WHILE the test is underway is never the same as the standalone latency figure (where the connection is not being used).
You could try changing the 5Ghz channel (you'll have to experiment which one works for you), and also try bringing the router out in the open so that there is less interference? Try placing it away from cordless phones and microwaves (and maybe TVs too). You can also try doing the test using a wired cable and see if that helps.
As for the settings: if you're able to access the panel, I usually recommend using Google's DNS servers than PTCL's own servers; some websites won't load on the PTCL DNS servers (and they might on Google's DNS, or you'll get that lovely safe surf message instead saying it's blocked... rather than it seeming like a server issue).

are you using wifi or cable ? i had bad download and upload latency too, turned out my LAN cable was of low quality so changed it and now its very low
Well, I am using a cable, I was using a TP-Link ap before, but my upload latency has dropped to like 2 now, I believe it was due to the port being 100 Mbps, I wasn't getting a gigabit link before, my download latency is still bad. IDK if my cable is bad or it's from PTCL, The thing is I'm running a cable from another room so it might be due to that as well.
Also, is tenor.com banned by PTA or something?

If anybody is interested, the WhatsApp group is still active. Great way to quickly check if other users are having similar issues as you.
I see, it was working on Cybernet ( national broadband ). But ig discord users are screwed.
It slips through the cracks occasionally (just like Twitter) but officially, it is blocked. For no reason....

CertificationsGonna ask a noob question, if Zong or some other telecom operator installs their tower in some remote place, can other network users also benefit from it?
Collaborative infrastructure utilization, such as tower sharing or roaming agreements, can extend coverage for various operators.
- Infrastructure Sharing: Tower sharing agreements allow MNOs to co-locate their equipment on existing towers, reducing costs for all.
- National Roaming Agreements: National roaming Allows users from other networks to roam on Zong's or any available telecom towers in remote areas. This expands coverage for subscribers of various operators.
In short: no.
Unless Zong (or whoever) permits other operators' users to roam on their network, no.
Infrastructure sharing can be anywhere between sharing the physical location (the tower) to sharing the radio/antenna (some countries do this - one radio will broadcast the signal of different operators) or sharing the network (which is essentially roaming or MVNO).
Pakistan, from what I know, only does the tower sharing (the physical location). That's it. And despite this, your signals/network performance may vary depending on
- the strength of the antenna,
- the horizontal angles and vertical height,
- the frequency used by the operator,
- obstructions between your spot and the antenna,
- the congestion at the tower,
- the configuration of the tower (I remember when Jazz switched over from... something else to Ericsson for their 4G, the signal strength changed drastically - some for the worse - but the speeds jumped up drastically as well, even in weak spots. One bar of 4G would give me 20 or 30 Mbps on Jazz whilst on Zong, it wouldn't. This is probably got to do with that QAM and those other fiddly things).
- the network link between the tower and the main servers.
- FBR/PTA/Govt (because they want to feel important as well).

Necrokiller:
The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol -
Necrokiller:
It's based on an actual real life person so I don't think the woke police have a valid case here.

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

Necrokiller:
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.
-
SolitarySoldier:
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. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol
-
SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

XPremiuM:
Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.
-
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
