By KayCee | 08, May 2012 | 19 Comments

Average connection speed for internet in Pakistan for both broadband and narrowband connections stood at 741 kbps in fourth quarter 2011, slightly down from 763 kbps in third quarter 2011.

According to stats revealed by Akamai in its ‘state of the internet’ report for fourth quarter 2011, 1.2 million unique IPs from Pakistan averaged 741 kbps data rates during the quarter. On another front average peak connection speed was recorded at 5,286 kbps for all the broadband users in Pakistan.

Akamai said that stats are derived from the data gathered from all around the globe through Akamai Intelligent Platform.

Akamai report suggested that broadband adaption rate (for connections above 2 Mbps) in Pakistan was 0.8 percent, lowest since third quarter 2010. At the same time, narrowband adaption rate is on a consistent decline showing that dial-up customer base is shifting towards broadband internet.

    This Chart is shows our isp,s failure because yeah paisy to 4mb k lete hai aur dete hai 1mb wo bhi buhat mushkil sai so in future there is no user in pakistan who surf INTERNET

Just an opinion, probably based on my horrible experience with some of the ISPs :-) but I believe adoption of over 2mbps internet speeds declined because of poor quality of service from only a handful of companies providing consumer broadband package over 2mbps in the first place.
Myself and a few of my friends and family have had horrible experiences with PTCL, Worldcall and LDN 4mbps connections. Two years back 4mbps services were good. Past 12-16 months it has been terrible on all of these ISPs. Maybe it is the load shedding or too many consumers.
WiMAX providers on the other hand generally seem to have consistent service at 1 and 2mbps.

It should be increased anyhow. This is really not enough.

shukar hai itni bhe mil rahe hai warna aksar bill aa jata hai aur telephone dead he para hota hai….

That is because most of the internet service providers in Pakistan have a poorer service quality as we go higher in bandwidth.

Wired internet is very unreliable and wireless is expensive, still lurking around in the 1 and 2 MB capped connections.

It is 750 kilo bits not kilo Btes … small “b” stands for bit and big “B” stands for Bytes.

750 kilo bits equal to 93.75 Kilo Bytes, which is average internet speed in Pakistan.

I never thought someday I would say this but “I am very satisfied with PTCL 4mb connection”

It gives me consistent download speeds of 450 k/bytes/s and above and hardly goes offline. In the last 12 months I only had one disconnection, which was due to up-gradation at Exchange. It took them 24 hours to fix.

BTW I am on Fiber optics and it does not go offline because a nearby bank supports the dB with UPS and generator.

So, the recipe for High Speed reliable DSL from PTCL is; Go for ONU telephone line and make sure the DB is supported by UPS that can sustain our load shedding.

Jee bilkul, Ab Rental Internet Providers ayen ge or arbon rupeya le kar 3 sal bad service den ge :0

PTCL is nightmare…….
So much worst service…..
So much lazy service…….
I face disconnection of phone line and internet twice in a month an average……
I recommend, if you have no strong links in PTCL, Don’t think of getting PTCL Broadband…..
PTCL is in the hands of very non-technical and non-sense people……
PTCL…….. Go to Hellllllllllll…………
