LDN Help line (111-600-111) is also confirming this upgrade.

it was always on the card after PTCL’s move yesterday.
link dot net also offering 30% discount to all colleges,universities and schools with only a valid Institution Card !!
Gr8 Offr !
@ Haris!!!!
R u sure they r offering to”ALL UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS” students as u mentioned, since when I got connection two months back this package was limited to 4~5 colleges of lahore only.
It should be there since ptcl covers lots of universities.
I think they are offering it to all students regardless of the institution…this means I am now getting a 1mb connection for like…900 rupees…THAT’S AWESOME. Long live competitive pricing!! :P
but i still like PTCL
First of all, I congratulate this blog’s maintainers & writers for bringing timely IT and telecom news to the masses. In today’s competitive business environment it is important for the consumers to have the most recent news to make proper choices.
Secondly – this definitely does not comes as a surprise. LINkdotNET has been continuously trying to keep up with PTCL and these kind of decisions show that they are in for the long haul. My concern is only how this offer will perform in the long run – infrastructural limitations will crop up when it comes to the implementation of the 4mb packages but let’s hope the companies are prepared for it! Right now I think it is a positive step for the consumers across the country because they will be able to enjoy broadband internet as it is no longer a ‘costly’ thing.

Hi all,
Link Dot Net is one of the top ISP in pakistan, company has all types of Links like DSL, VPN, Wimax, ISDN, Wireless, Radio, mailing Add:, Domain hosting, and also Dial up links….
So I think Link Dot Net is better than all ISP’s and also its support is 24 hrs available engineers at support on Help line and also costomer permisis….
So use the Link DSL or Dial up or which u probabily need it..
Karar shah Telecomm Eng:
Link Dot Net does NOT provide 24 Hrs customer support for any issue.

Hello, is it possible to use PTCL DSL Line in turbat makran? if yes then how. if not then why not.
i need to use DSL line in Turbat makran. simple ptcl internet is very slow. how can i make my net fast here in my city Turbat makran , and by the way still there isnt any fiber optic system. please help me to solve my problem about slow internet.
AOA all,
dear all after this news limk dot net speed just like a dial up speed on DSL connection.any link dot net customer check the sprrd on LDN DSL connection and share the experience.
THANKS
Now PTCL provide 1 mbps just in RS = 800 per month. its v low rate as commapare to other ISP.
Thats a really great news, i think of having a LDN Connection soon. Would somebody tell me the edge of LDN over PTCL Broadband if any?
i was using ptcl dsl 512 package. my connection was not working fine for last 2 months and after complaining about 10 complaints, all i could do was just hoping for miracle. ptcl staff told me that it can be my telephone line, but when i asked for link.net, on hte same line i am getting 58kb download speed.
my link.net never hangs.
aztech modem they gave me is looking good in performance.
customer support is better than ptcl.
(but my ptcl connection was doing good for 9 months my speed was 60 kb wich came down to 52kb and eventually it started to hang up, dsl light started to blink and i was in hell for 2 months) so i switched to link.net .
link has been good for me for last one month but link has one disadvantage and that is their upload. ptcl UL was 25kb but link max UL is 15 Kb on same package of 512.
Not only LDN offering offers to students, it also gives you a wi-fi dsl router and access point just for 100 Rs per month on rent. On the other end PTCL only gives you ZTE Box which has no wifi in it. You would have to perchase a wifi router from market which is 2700 Rs approximately.

Thanks for a great blog!
