Even in 2024, power outages and load shedding are common in Pakistan, which is especially bothersome for online workers. For that reason, PTCL has introduced a UPS (uninterrupted power supply) backup for internet routers, similar to Nayatel.
For Rs. 8,000 (tax included), you can get PTCL’s internet UPS which will give your internet router an extra 4 hours of life when power goes out. You also get the convenience of a 1-year warranty in case your device malfunctions.
The new PTCL UPS is compatible with all fixed-line internet devices, meaning you can hook it up to other ISPs’ internet routers as well. For instance, if you have a Nayatel router, the PTCL UPS can be paired with that, but the backup duration will depend on your router’s power requirement. Keep in mind that some advanced routers are more power-hungry.
You can buy the PTCL UPS by visiting your nearest PTCL or Ufone service center or calling 1218.
