  • PTCL Finally Launches 50 MB VDSL In Pakistan

    This was no surprise as PTCL already announced this news a couple of months ago. We covered it here. This new technology is finally launched by PTCL but it does cost a lot of money.

    Currently, PTCL is having a maintenance period and PTCL’s link from SMW-4 is under planned maintenance activity. You can read more about it from here. Due to this, Broadband connections in whole Pakistan are experiencing issues. This problem is estimated to be fixed on 29th July if the conditions are favorable.

    Suddenly, this news popped up on PTCL’s official site that now they are offering VDSL internet in Pakistan. They are calling it Ultranet, according to the service package charges, you can have 10 mbps VDSL internet for 9,999 PKR per month, sadly you will also have to pay for the installation charges which are another 10,000 PKR including the cost of Modem as well. So to summarize, you will have to pay 20,000 PKR just to get your hands on this new technology.

    The other rates are very surprising, you can have 20 mbps internet just for 5,000 PKR more(15,000 PKR). The installation charges are the same for both of these packages. Now this may be the most shocking pricing scheme. I mean come on, if we can have 10 mbps for 10,000 PKR per month, how the hell can we afford 50 mbps. It may cost 30 to 40,000 PKR per month. Unfortunately, we were wrong. Due to the weird pricing scheme of PTCL, they are offering 50 mbps VDSL internet just for 20,000 PKR per month. Surprised? We were also shocked to see this as well.

    This pricing scheme really makes us suspicious. I mean when PTCL can’t even afford to provide a constant and stable 4 MB DSL connection, how will they manage this new technology. Their infrastructure is widely known for having problems. So we can say for sure that it will barely be able to reach the advertized 50 mbps speed.

    This service is currently available only in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. You can read the full press release below or go here for the official press release.
