ok thanks. moreover when i did a speedtest from many different sites they showed speeds of about 700kbps which obviously isnt true.

seems like ur getting the committed speed then.

and i've only seen ptcl's speedtest test results which are wrong. why is that?

Re: PTCL DSL news + queries + problems + solutions

i meant that i've seen a lot of people here post their PTCL 512k speedtest and it shows they get 7-800kbps. Its not the case with LDN or MBL which i've used. Why is that?

Re: PTCL DSL news + queries + problems + solutions

bravo to PTCL customer support. I lodged my complaint at 2pm. Got a call just now at 5 and problem resolved.
I also got my DSL within 2 days of applying.

PTCL just treating their customers with a lil extra bandwidth i guess. Even with a 1 Mbps connection, normally considering all the overheads, you should get a speedtest of about 800-850Kbps, but with PTCL you get about 1100-1200Kbps average.

Re: PTCL DSL news + queries + problems + solutions

i know. but on direct downloads i get 55kb/sec but in speedtests i get 1.5Mbps. I just dont understand the logic behind that. Speedtests calculate speed based on direct download.

i think they have set up speed bursting, which initially bursts data throughputs higher than the alloted bandwidth, hence skewing the speed test results..

Re: PTCL DSL news + queries + problems + solutions

am4tl has hit the nail on the head, PTCL has got speed bursting which is definitely a good thing.

Re: PTCL DSL news + queries + problems + solutions

has anyone noticed that youtube videos load wierdly on PTCL. Like if i am viewing, it will stop for buffering, the speed goes at 200kb/sec and then the video resumes during which no more video gets downloaded. then it buffers again, speed goes to 200kb/sec and video loads.

Re: PTCL DSL news + queries + problems + solutions

ok i'm sorry if u guyz get angry but i wanted to ask the memebers here who use PTCL...

1. How is the DSL working nowadays.. My relatives are all using PTCL and they are very happy with their service and connection

2. Does PTCL DSL suffers from any malfunctions or syncronization during the day.

3. Are all package without caps..

i'm currently using Maxcom's Home 256k but PTCL is providing 512k for the same price and with some positive reviews i'm tempted to switch... will it be a good idea.
