Rumor: PTCL may Double DSL Speed
Today again we are updating our readers with a rumor in market that PTCL is likely to double speed for its broadband users, for example
512kbps –> 1mbps
1mbps –> 2mbps
2mbps –> 4 mbps
Few people have confirmed that their speed has doubled, but other are still waiting – looks like this up gradation is going in phases, or city wise.
This news makes sense when market players are already using double speed tactics.
We were unable to get official version on this from PTCL.

Hello;
To use ptcl dial up, the code should be open for your fone to dial countrywide calls, such as you must be able to dial calls to mobile or others city, if not, then call on 111-465-465 and ask them the code for “0″ opening and closing, they will ask you number and your name, tell them and get the code for opening “0″ any time and closing as well, before dialing dial up connection make sure your code is opened and no need for any card!
this is 100% solution for your problem!
Thats a long boring way…. when you call the helpline they give you a code like *3289# and #3289# these are used for opening STD and Closing STD…
Thats not boring way that is exact solution to use ptcl dial up by enabling open code!
this forum is not about calling service or phone n net its about broadband punk
this is not forum, this is blog containing comment sessions, you must be atleast a little litterate to join,you “A-H”
I too experienced the higher DSL speed. Although I thought this is because of some issue with their systems
It is good to see higher speed but I have experienced lower reliability and consistency afterwards.
Aqeel Open your number for STD… dial the code to make mobile phone calls… becuase 13177777 is islamabad’s number.
Aamir here’s a correction…. the Expected packages will be
512 —- 1
1 —- 2
2 —- 2.5
and only download speeds are increasing not the uploading one.
Dnt know its true or not because mine still same old… but i think there are some problems with the port upgradation on ptcl end …. because my friend having 512Kbps connection getting download speeds of 170-190Kb/s on downloads and speedtest.net showing his speeds at 2000+kbps…. and uploads at 500+kbps
Lets see what happens ……..!
thanks for your input Zohair…! As there is no official stand on this news, so we can’t confirm anything…!
Please let us know when you experience it yourself. Thanks
yes my two friends were using 512kbps and now there speed is 1mbps. if ptcl doubles my speed will become 200kb/s that will b great
hell ev1.. i dun hv experienced anything like that but ptcl now offering a referrel system .. with 12months free broadband n Smart Tv ..

PTCL guys never told me about this when i got that problem … Thanks to LINKdotNET their technicians are more cooperative..
then go to wan menu and then to ur account … there is a space for keepalive change it to 0 from 10 …….. thats all
he was not having problem before speed upgrade. the speed is changed from by the provider from back end. and no body even touched the router settings. how can keepalive value change (my keep alive is 799)
i have 512 connection and still i am getting speed of 512 only , waiting for my connection to be upgraded tooooo !
i just wanna say that first they are upgrading 512kbps users to 1mbps. i found this from 4 different user of 512.
Yesterday, people in Korang Town exchange (in isloo) got upgraded service .. 512 – 1 MB
Rock n Rolla!!!
yess its true..
im also experiencing about 100-105kb.per sec on my 512kb connection..
No Disconnection and browsing is much more faster now..
any 1mbps user been upgraded to 2mbps?
my connection also has been upgraded to 1mb from 512kb
i am using 1 mb but speed not upgraded yet:(
still my 512 is not upgraded , can i know kashif , where do u live ? i am in lahore and i asked one of my friend , his package has still not upgraded yet. he is also from lahore
I think this is only fake information, only to get internet user intentions at webplaces etc! i am using 512kbps package of ptcl, and not getting exact speed, i want to say only if they can provide exact package complete speed that is enough, other things and issues have less importance! seee my poor speed at this link http://www.speedtest.net/result/423331628.png
mohsin that was a real crap. u r nt getting good speed doesn’t mean every body is getting bad service i am getting 120kb/s in 1mb that is what a 1mbps connection should give. and 4 ur information they are surely doubling internet speed u dumb ass.
omer, you are really a stupid person!
Fuck your Self
bite me. crap vizio. never come to a forum u don’t know any thing about…ha ha haa
i see the changes because when i used to download a 700mb file on my 512kbps connection it took 5-7 hours and last night it took only 2:44hrs.
Here are my 512kbps connection results on speedtest:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/424373330.png

Its Not An Official News…But My 512Kbps Connection is Giving me 1Mb Constan Downloading Speed…..Thanks PTCL
no this time they are increasing the speed first and will announce later cuz last time when they announced double speed people made there helpline down because they upgraded everybody’s broadband slowly. and this time they don’t want that happen again

i am also experiencing increased speed, but currently not stable! also disconnections or connection reset problem exists!
hopefully, ptcl will resolve it!

A lot of users have confirmed it.
http://www.pakwheels.com/forumreply_az_TopicID!98811~ForumID!23~pw.html
and i think this link does not confirm any thing every body is expressing there feelings about upgrade and very less of them have reported their upgrade. at this website majority of people are reporting their upgrade.
yeah meri bhi hogai double.. i think the rumor might just be true
hello. any 1mbps user upgraded to 2mbps only 512 users are being upgraded
My speed also got upgraded to 1 mbps right now …. hurray

Assalam Aluikum everyone. Thanks to PTCL ke speed upgrade ker di. I’m still waiting for my connection speed to be converted at 1 MB, my friend near Akbar Chowk in lhr got upgraded to 1MB and he told me but i didn’t get this speed yet. Hope i will be enjoying this upgradation soon.

and ptcl officialy announcing it on 23rd march also
going to launch its broad band on the GO for desktop computer
(for laptop computer this service is already launched through PCMCI Card)
my package 1mb bt nt yet upgraded:(
People i bought myself a 512kbps package 8 months back i used to get 50-60 kbps but since a few days ive been noticing a fairly eye catching difference ive been getting 100-130 kbps download speed im thinking that there has been a malfunction in ptcl’s broadband service that they’re giving me the speed of 1mbps connection where as i had bought a 512kbps connection or maybe they have actually upgraded their service package
