PTCL just introduced unlimited 100Mbps Broadband for Rs. 4,999 per month

acc. to Norwegian govt, access to internet is among basic human rights in modern day & age. Here in Sweden, we do most of things online using internet, whether it is paying the bills, submitting forms, contacting different services, changing address, and shopping. So without internet and its secure usage you're not able to keep pace with the society. Here even Mosques have their websites which is quite uncommon in Pakistan.

Pakistani leaders and nation cant be compared to Sweden where human life still is valued above feelings
Are you saying pakista, s salvation is a socialist liberal democracy ?

Education is the key. In Pakistan internet is abused by people due to lack of education and services...mostly they use it for social networking like facebook, whatsapp etc and nothing else. Perhaps it is because the govt has not introduced online services. Most of the ministries do not have good working websites that update all the time.

Here websites of companies and govt services are like legal documents. Each and every word is curated and data gets updated after suitable interval.

It is a lot of money...Here in Sweden a 100 Mbps unlimited connection costs 150 SEK which is roughly PKR 2000. And mostly 100 Mbps connection is part of the rent.

Still lot cheaper than UAE.

Which one? Swedish only or Pakistani as well ?

Both we have to pay approx 200USD for 50 mbs

Also I found that a lot of services are restricted like I could not use face time on my iPhone. Though Skype worked well. BTW I had a free internet connection there

May be since I am not Iphone user but recently they block skype calls also, whatsapp call already blocked.

That's really regressive and backwards mentality and that is why I was not keen to stay there for longer.

Here in Karachi a company called Fiberlink is providing 100 Mb for just 1000 rupees , but their after sales services sucks

 

[lastofthepatriots]

Well PTCL is unlimited and I guess the upload will be 100 Mbps or at least 10 Mbps so better there but still very expensive.

36 mbps..... damn. Are you sure this is real fiber optic ? Is it FTTH ? Have you this cable ?

Or FTTLA,FTTC,FTTP....... (Cables above replaced by coax cables or using existing copper cables)

Make sure they aren't selling you some VDSL or similar sh/t as fiber.

Just for comparison,few days ago I signed for an FTTH provider for €19,99pm for 1 year. That includes minimum speeds of 200 in down (in reality closer to 300) and minimum of 100 in up. That also includes TV channels and unlimited calls to landlines and mobile phones. And the installation will be made with the same cables I posted above.

I'm not well versed in the technologies of broadband any more. I used to be while I was researching the best deals I could sign up for, but that was over 4 years ago. This is the package I have,

and this is what came with it:

It used to be £29 for me as well, but over time, they increased it incrementally.
