Rs. 1,500 will be charged as downgrade charges from all 1 Mbps and Higher Packages (Student & Regular) if they Opt into this package —- why they are charging such very big amount for downgrading ??????
- Muhammad Anas
  
  why they won;t charge? I mean what is PTCL for? They have to clear government dues too so they are right to charge for anything including but not limited to upgrading/downgrading.

good offer, i think

A very shrew way of telling students that you are not welcome. Will i ever see a package from PTCL without any ifs and buts.

i’m agree with you Salman Abbas.

A very affordable package and required now that student package is available at Rs. 1099 per month. I think it makes commercial sense to cap the package if you want to make it affordable :).
And downgrade charge of 1500 are on the higher side but that is something that happens anywhere else in th world as well. At least in USA they do charge you for downgrading your packages.

It takes a year for PTCL to think of new packages and implement them on last date of the year still not impressive..
- Shuja
  
  PTCL has come up with many attractive packages in past one year and all are pretty impressive for a regular internet user like me. Witribe, Wateen, Qubee and other internet services have failed to offer such customer friendly packages. You can compare the packages on PTCL with any other ISP. I, as a user, am totally satisfied with the EVO and Nitro packages which i use in my home as well as in office.

  Dude you got the answer. It take years to make a new package because there are
  thousands of things to look out for, that’s why if we find any short end in the
  package, it is because of other expenses. We should be thankful if something better is happening.

199+499+250=948 , not 848
monthly line rent of Rs.199 not applicable on freedom pkg i think
- james
  
  499 +250 for freedome package and new landline subs
  
  499+199 for existing landline subs who order new dsl
  
  ab iss say aur sasta kia hau ga telephone aur DSL
  - guddu
    
    yani kay total hia 749 for freedom package and 698 for existing customers with landline. Good hai and i think freedom package ke option zayada achi hay at 250 Rs. unlimited landline to ptcl landline calls
AHMAR

freedom package has no line rent, make yourself correct !
LALA

please confirm about line rent….i think its not applicable on freedom package.
- hasan
  
  no it is not.

i think this gonna b the flop package people will discontinue after using number of months just because the reason they may b unaware of using excess of their limit, and it will leave them with lots frustration of the usage of some extra GB charges
- Kamran
  
  Why people like you, always try to find dark sides of the things. One thing is for sure that this package is very economical and we should be satisfied with it.

good offer but PTCL has two issues
1. Its not easy to get connect
(especially in my area)

2. PTCL goes down for 1-2 days and ppl pay bribe to lineman for restoration
- Faisal
  
  I ve heard so many complaints like this.. and thank god i have no such issues in my area… Broadband and service works great but you have to put a little pressure on them… :-)..
  This is how things work in pakistan!

i dont want to use phone line just want to use dsl service so freedom package cost .250 and dsl charges 500 under 10gbs total 750 ,wht are the line rate ???if 200 then the total amount will be 950 …dont makes any big difference for me
- Ali Bhai
  
  Sohail there is no line rent if you are paying for freedom package. Call 1236 to understand in case you are still confused.
http://www.facebook.com/sohail.sadiq1 Sohail Sadiq

so we simply say that 1mbps connection and unlimited nation wide calls in just rs.750

download limit is 10Gb’s ,rs 100 charge per gb exceed and if user use more than 20 gb’s the download limit goes unlimited for rs 1500
Hasan

Just called 1236. If you want to avail this service as a new customer. You will be charged 1000 Rs installation fee. Freedome package is not mendatory to avail with this service but if you want to avail freedomepackage, you will not be charged line rent with it. Wifi modem will come free with new connection. So you will be charged with freedome package 499+250= ? , without freedome package 499+ line rent = ?

Does this help you? Hit “LIKE ” to keep it alive, so others can see.

I think ptcl should stop announcing new package and concentrate on the stability i have a lot of evidences which turn ptcl in a big loss
- Shuja
  
  Well PTCL is already focusing a lot on the quality service and it has successfully improved its service over the period of time. I have been a customer of PTCL since past few years and i can exactly relate how has the PTCL improved its quality and customer management system

dost mujhe ye batao k economy 1mbps pakage k liye ptcl landline ka hona zarurui hai? q k mai ptcl use nahi karta to kya ptcl landline k baghair ye pakage chal sakta hai? aur agar mai freedom pakage na lena chahun to kya mujhe us k pese b dene parain ge ya nahi? plz reply zarur karna q k mai is pakage ko use karne mai interested hon. thankx
- Hassan
  
  Landline aur freedom package dono cumpulsory hain. Matlab aapko pehle ptcl ka connection lena pare ga. Us k baad hi aap freedom package aur dsl economy package le sakte hain. To agar aap 10gb se zada download nahi karte to aap k ptcl bill k monthly charges hon gay 500+250=750rs. Freedom package pe ptcl ka line rent 0 ho ga.

Well i use evo currently and my monthly downloaded data hardly crosses 2 gb(according to evo stats).. despite 2 hours a day usage. Evo speeds are dead slow here:( So this package would be awesome for me. (according to evo stats) i just want to know about its speed.
