Internet connectivity in Pakistan — on DSL — is largely unreliable with constant disconnections and fluctuations in speed.
While 3G/4G mobile internet has catered to the nation’s demand for high-speed internet, it is just not viable for everyone; especially for businesses and power users who need to consume high volumes of data at very high speeds.
There’s a reason the west has resorted to FTTH and that’s mainly due to its reliability, consistency and capacity to control higher data speeds.
While FTTH in Pakistan is comparatively a new phenomenon, mainly due to its limited coverage, things have started to change now.
Storm Fiber, a Cybernet company, is offering its FTTH services in Lahore and Karachi at unbelievable prices.
For example, you can enjoy 30Mbps for just Rs. 3,999. This price includes cable TV and fixed line as well as a value addition.
Not to mention, this speed of 30Mbps is valid for both uploads as well as for downloads.
Storm Fiber said that these prices are excluding taxes, but there’s no limit on download/upload and customers can enjoy true unlimited data connections throughout the month.
Below are three packages that Storm Fiber is currently offering:
Please note:
- Truly unlimited downloads/uploads with no cap whatsoever

Not available in Allama Iqbal Town Lahore?? secondly That Upfront cost is big amount . Using Fibernet Paying 2850 PKR per month and getting 40Mbps :P
Is fibernet available in all Lahore ? Can you share the details ? If 40 Mbps is for 2850 , i am interested in it
Well 20mbps in moring and double speed at night check their website
Are you using Fibernet in Allama Iqbal Town? How good is it? I heard it has disconnection issues?
Yes i am from last 1 year now yes it has but somehow i am ok with speed i get :)
pls also tell me about their service in LHR.
Dude… u gotta be SH*&in me…!
No dude :)
Screenshots or GTFO!!
There you go. This is on the 20 Mbps connection
Not bad, what ISP is that? How much are you paying?
Transworld. It’s 3k per month excluding taxes but after taxes comes to about 3.5k per month
Can you tell me how to get the connection you have?
They’re only available in DHA Phase 6 and Clifton Block 9 Karachi
Transworld is charging us RS 8000 for 1MB connection. That’s how they suck off their corporate customers.
Fibernet is like PTCL of 1990s, very poor in quality of service, unprofessional customer care.
Well yes agree poor customer care but i give 2nd chance reason they are new born and they are slowly expanding will take time thing will get better
how is there speed??
You can pay the amount in installments of 12 months. This is how i have gotten this bundle :D
Screenshots or GTFO!
???? why these companies including nayatel are available in my city, or in the whole pakistan !!!!!
Nayatel is one of the best FTTH as far as i’ve heard.. but they are currently only in Islamabad and Rawalpindi and now recently they brought their services to Faisalabad… But Still no service to Karachi and Lahore. I am from Karachi and i desperately want their service in Karachi!
Their packages are very affordable and mostly prefered by Online gamers in Pakistan because of symmetric download upload speed.
plzzz come to islamabad.
We need you in Islamabad !
is baat se to PTCL ki phat k moo me agai ho gi
Hamari takleefo ka azaala ab STORM FIBER e karega mere bhaiiiiiiiiiiii :D :P
PTCL is a giant. Is kism ki baton se is k kaan pe joon bhi nahi reengti
Cybernet is a giant too.
Kuch arse main take over krlega agar tareeqay se is service ko chalaya tou.
hahahaa, PTCL or Giant? If you bother to look just at their Facebook page, see 99.9% people are cursing, abusing them. GANDI wali galiaan dete hain PTCK ko din pe 100s of angry customers. So in a situation like this, new companies like StormFiber are more than a blessing dude. You sound you’re a ptcl employee lol
i agree with u _______ is PTCL too many taxes and no service
Still more expensive than Transworld Atlantic which is offering 20Mbps for 2999 which is much more affordable. Total cost including taxes of 3999 package of storm fiber will be above Rs.5000.
Transworld is 2999 for 20mbps without TV. StormFiber is 2999 for 20mbps with TV and phone line. Both without tax.
Not more expensive. Same price maybe a bit more value with StormFiber thats why I went with them.
Upfront cost is too high still 5000 vs 3000 is a differnce i am ready to pay 3000 for 20mbps but 12k upfront no way .. it should be included in 3k price
That’s for triple play. For just internet upfront cost is 5000
Can confirm
r u providing service in Lahore?
Transworld doesn’t have any package under 2K :O
they do
Which? only two packages at web, both above 3000Rs
i wish they come in Faisalabad.
they will, nayatel and fiberlink are already operating in Faisalabad at limited locations.
can you mark the locations
email them, they will give you contact numbers of Faisalabad service centres. Nayatel at few locations on Canal road.
which locations in FSD?
Canal road side.
what about Eden Garden on Canal Road ?
I don’t know, email them for location details.

“you can enjoy 30Mbps — with 3MBps actual speeds”
I don’t get this? Is the speed 30Mbps or 3Mbps? It’ll be a dealbreaker in case it’s the latter.
its 30Mbps or 3MBps
ALL data network speeds are measured in Megabits/second. Mbps.
This is the same for Nayatel, Verizon, Google Fiber or others.
In storage, data is stored in bytes not bits. B stands for byte, b stands for bit. There are 8 bits in one byte.
So in internet speed world 8Mbps = 1 MBps.
bhai kis ko bata raha hai…….woh AAmir hai…………..
Hahaha well said… A newbie telling guru :)
30Mbps = 3.75MBps
Respect to Aaamir Sb. I am only basic entry level engineer. I’m sorry for ignorance.
From Wikipedia
The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per second), or about 0.1192 MiB/s (mebibyte per second).
Data rate units – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mbps vs. MBps: What’s the Difference?
It’s often difficult to understand terms used for Internet metrics, such as Mbps vs. MBps. They’re the same letters, though they represent different metrics.
What’s the difference?
Mbps means megabits per second. Mb is used for download and upload speed.
MBps stands for megabytes per second. MB is used for file size.
bahi in simple i m using zong 4g when i check my speed test its show 15mb down and up … so my point is this fiber internet show the same speed ?? (30mb on speedtest or 3mb on speedtest.net)????? that what i want to know
But the guru is wrong here. 30 Mbps is NOT equal to 3 MBps. It is actually equal to 3.75 MBps. :-)
Who the hell measures data speeds in MBps ? There are no bytes on a network only bits.
I think it’s a typo. Checked it on their website: https://www.stormfiber.com/triple-play/
Mbps isn’t the same thing as an MBps (notice the capitalized B). Mbps stands for megabits per second, while the latter stands for megabytes per second; keep in mind that there are 8 bits in one byte so they’re NOT equal. Internet speed is universally measured in Mbps or megabits/sec. 1Mbps is equal to 128KBps (1024 megabits divided by 8), but because of several factors we can’t get perfect speeds, so It’s more like 100-110KBps (more of a 1:10 ratio, instead of 1:8). Thus 30Mbps would roughly be equal to 3MBps download speed.
What they have stated is correct. 30Megabits per second measures to about 3Megabytes per second when converted.
To answer your question, it’s 30Mbps, not 3Mbps.
Yeah, just noticed the capitalized B. Way to confuse a person.
So finally we have a competitor of Nayatel.
omg… should i get rid of PTCL now?? :D Because i am from Karachi.. and i’ve been waiting for Nayatel service to come in Pakistan but it didn’t
Have friends using it, speeds look great! Waiting for PECHS #stormfiber. OTC may seem a little high but aik dafa dayker I wanna be free from the net hassle :/
Rs 4999 is the lowest cost with non-wifi modem. 1799 for 10, 2799 for 20 and 3799 for 30
really what is your speed and how is there Customer service .. how good there internet …well im using zong 4g and i m paying 4000rs for 100gb .well zong have good in speed almost 20mb … but download limit is to small. that y i m thinking to change it … pls let me know your experiences with them … :)
Too good. A lot of value here. Rs 4999 one time get first month 10mbps free then just Rs 1800 per month for 10mbps. I think it’s a steal.
Just get it and forget about Internet worries. I have the triple play because Worldcall suspended in my area. Analogue Tv is decent. I heard digital is amazing.
Can you give screen shot of storm fiber speed and their device both tv and adsl modem
they don’t have a adsl modem
I wanna sign up today!! Finally one window solution to my problems.
same
This is an amazing offer. I’ve heard great reviews about their services, the speed and technical support. Shall sign up soon.
It’ll take forever for them to come to Hyderabad. :(
Problem of such services is that they don’t cover all the areas in city and spread the network very slowly. Just like Nayatel in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
koi fayda nahi sirf big cities me dete hain te log
What about androon Mochi Gate in Lahore? is main to kabhi bhi nahi aye gi :-(
Finally some reliable internet…
Will you ever come to small cities like Jhang? :(
no. first they’ll take 20 years to cover all of karachi and lahore.
Correct. And the procedures required to obtain easement or right of way, it is going to take 50 years. Not entirely fault of the ISPs but also the government authorities creating hurdles. Pakistan in dark ages and needs emergency to speed broadband.
Only 4G or 5G will survive in long run.
There is already a really nice hybrid fibre optic network setup in Karachi and Lahore. That is the one owned by worldcall. It isn’t FTTH but there is no need for FTTH when we are talking such low speeds. Remember you can even do 10Gbps over copper now so it’s OK if the last mile is copper.
3 FTTH companies have started operations in Karachi in just the last couple of years. They are TWA, storm fiber and fiberlink and all of them are laying their own fibre optic cables. In lahore you have Nayatel laying its own cables at a snail’s pace. None of these companies has thought of just buying out world call and using their network. They would rather take a years to build out their own networks. What a waste.
there is even fariya in karachi
yar yeh agr complete lahore ma aa jaye to Kia kamal ho ga.
Amazing…..
Nayatel really needs to step up its game. They’re exploiting the FTTH monopoly they have in Islamabad and Rawalpindi with their low speed offerings.
and here i am waiting for Nayatel to provide their services in karachi… :P
Lol, I just shifted from G1 Johar town to Q Block Johar Town :(
Ptcl 4Mbps <3 1775 + frebm packge + tax + tax = 2290 pkr
PTCL is shit
Still too costly :(
Wake me up when they offer same speed under 1k…!!!
Khair hai na bhai g ??
Anything like this in isb / rwp else than nayatel………
What’s wrong with Nayatel?
Capped bandwidth. I download alot.
What’s the upload speed you are getting. Is it symmetric to download?
No. But i don’t mind assymetrical up/down speeds. I need more volume.
Waiting for it in Islamabad ;-(
If it comes in Islamabad it will blow out ptcl n nayatel out of competition.
Anyone tried Fiberlink yet?
Faisalabad is also getting new telephone and internet services providers, but i guess it will take about one year for them to reach my area.
The day this comes to Peshawar, I’m going to drop PTCL in a heartbeat and move to them. PTCL offers poor service at extortionate rates..
Completely wrong info about about packages,,, visit their website and check the difference
I did. There is a package and install promo. Install promo gives you 3 months free.
o babyyyy come to RWP soon
As a visually impaired
reader of ProPakistani, who uses screen reader to access this website, I
request to the management of this site that whenever you post tables containing
prices and rates, please post it in text not in graphics. My screen reader doesn’t
interpret graphics.
They have three packages.
Rs 3999 for 30mbps internet and tv and Landline.
Rs 2999 for 20mbps internet and tv and landline
Rs 1999 for 10 mbps internet and tv and landline.
All of them come with unlimited downloads.
I hope this helps bro.
Currently on URL
Some more details and also there are monthly charges for phone
The additional line rent and TV price is if you don’t go with the promo. I believe they have clarified that triple play in 3999 for 30mbps means TV+Internet+Phone-line in 3999+tax.
2999 for 20mbps,tv,phone
1999 for 10mbps,tv,phone
phone line rent is included in above but per minute call is not.
Awesome! hope it comes to Valancia soon.
For all my brother and sisters … Being an FTTH engineer let me guide you about the speed scene… Bandwidth configured whatever it is 50Mbps or 10Mbps these all are best effort delivery. it not like i configured and fixed 50 Mbps for one customer. So dnt fight for it … cooper technically can transfer 2-3 Mbps max till the customer as because of interference at high frequency travelling through copper…..But FTTH on the other hand whatever company is giving to the customer…its still the best as there is no lag till the customer,. for any questions and queries i am here
Kindly provide this facility to all over pakistan with the help of PTCL it will be more easy for u
no it won’t
“With the help of PTCL”??? LOOOOOOOL. Matlab PTCL apni gardan pe khud churi phere. Good yar, I like that.
THE BEST INTERNET IN TOWN!
How to get connection in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Karachi ?
Fiberlink offer 50mbps for 4000 per month
Fiberlink has taken a lot of peoples money one year in advance in Karachi and not delivered service or provided very poor quality service. Must be avoided like the plague.
From what I’ve heard from people who have gotten fiberlink, they do tend to take their time to get you connected because they lay their own fiber cable to your home when you request it. The delay it due to getting permission from local authorities. I’m talked to the guy in charge of Lahore, and he was up front about it. Said it would take two month, but may take more in case their are problems with permission. But everyone that I’ve talked to who has fiberlink has had 99.9% uptime. Incase the cable gets cut, as it did when the overpasses were being built on Jail Road they didn’t charge their customers for it.

Storm Fiber – Absolutely
pathetic service – Fiber cable was deployed on Friday/Saturday (approx 4
days ago) and since then I have faced disconnection issues twice once
on sat/sunday and second time today) and also authentication issues
twice. Everyday I wake up to a dead internet. Everyday I go home
thinking it wont be working. DO NOT BUY
Very Good. I tried it….
I used Fibernet for about 8 months. It is nothing but trouble. Eveyday or other day or must in 3 days a dropoff (No internet) for few hours. many times half day net is gone. few times full day and 1 time no internet for 5 days. But speed was great when the net is working. Not too good for Voice Calls daily basis lag on voice talk (Whatapp/Viber/Skype works great). Now I moved house so I got Stromfiber. Been 1 month and net is available all the time so far but sometimes Voice Calls are choppy. Stromfiber is so much better (price is 20%more) but too much sakoon.
