  • I really doubt about something. How witribe could be number 2 broadband service provider and largest Wimax operator?? Is its network in 23 cities???

    • listen all never get wi tribe connection they are lotting since this new ceo arrive and technical staff know nothing

  • A nice way to tell Peracha that you are fired! witribe is not going anywhere because the business case for wimax in Pakistan is very weak. You cannot recover an investment of $200 million (rs. 20 billion) and become profitable by selling internet connections for 750 rupees or so.

    • Mr. Ahmad CEO wi tribe is a real pig, listen all never get wi tribe connection they are lotting since this new ceo arrive and technical staff know nothing
