Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has announced plans to expand its fiber-optic broadband network to 10 million households across Pakistan and equip them with ultra-high-speed internet.
The target was shared by company officials during a financial briefing, where PTCL outlined its long-term strategy to expand fixed broadband penetration in Pakistan.
According to the company, Pakistan currently has around 30 million households, and PTCL intends to significantly scale up fiber connectivity as demand for reliable high-speed internet continues to grow.
At present, PTCL provides last-mile broadband access to approximately 1.7 million households nationwide. The company said continued investment in fiber infrastructure will remain a key priority to expand coverage and improve service quality.
The company wants to make wired broadband more widely accessible, support digital services, remote work, online education, and growing data consumption across urban and semi-urban areas.

I wait for fiber internet Ptcl in Bilal town khanna Dak Islamabad.
Yes…big plans…but for themselves only….without resolving current disruption issues multiple times in a day for last so many months. Pathetic internet services by PTCL in Lahore.
(Swat) In our area ptcl did survey more then.one.ans half year ago and still no news when will start fiber internet service .
They have still not covered Lahore fully and this is just big talk no work.
PTCL ny public sy jhoot bol kar Fiber install kya hy Logon ky Gharon may. Ap telephone ky aalag charges pay karo aur internet ky aalag
Its been 5 Yeats years that they could not expand internet fiber connection just 350 meters from the main junction point where the ONT is installed, in my area Burma Town Khanna Daak Islamabad what do you expect the target to be in 2126?
Quality of service matters more than quantity for fiber connections. PTCL’s service (restrained by firewalls) is pathetic with high latency, connection drops, intermittent operation, etc.
