Different ISPs Offer different Internet speed in Pakistan

The introduction of 3G/4G in Pakistan has helped bring the wonders of the internet to millions of people.

However, mobile internet tends to be on the expensive side and if you belong to a household with multiple internet users, you know that lots of video streaming happens, and even several gigabytes are downloaded daily. This makes mobile internet prohibitively expensive. It’s also a major reason why people still use broadband connections.

Why Broadband Internet is Preferred?

Broadband or fixed household connections usually bring the added benefit of unlimited downloads and stable download speeds. Before 3G/4G, it used to be our only pathway to internet connectivity but since then it’s a relatively slower means of internet access.

Now that mobile internet is so fast, home broadband connections are also required to offer higher download speeds along with traditional unlimited download caps.

ProPakistani has compiled a list of broadband service providers which provide the fastest internet speeds in Pakistan. Take a look at the best option for you depending on your area.

Note: The list only includes ISPs which offer a download limit of at least 50GB per month. ISPs are mentioned based on their fastest internet package regardless of any limitations due to area, variations in actual speed or any other factors.

Fiberlink

Offering fiber optic broadband services in area of Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore and Faisalabad, Fiberlink claims to be the fastest ISP in Pakistan.

Fiberlink offers speeds of up to 200mbps to household users. Starting at Rs. 1,500 for 12mbps, customers get to choose from several packages including 20mbps (Rs. 2,000), 40mbps (Rs. 2,500), 100mbps (Rs. 4,000), 150mbps (Rs. 4,500) and 200mbps (Rs. 4,800).

That’s not all, the speed doubles during the night (2:30AM to 9:00AM), even for the 200mbps package. Those who pay for the whole year upfront also get additional discounts on the monthly bill.

PTCL

PTCL is the largest internet service provider in Pakistan and is by far the most accessible and most used one in the list. The semi-government company has a strong fiber backbone including its own undersea cables.

The company relies on its dated copper network to provide one of the fastest internet connections in the country. It relies on multiple lines but is able to offer speeds of up to 100mbps to the average consumer.

Customers get to choose from 20mbps, 30mbps, 50mbps and 100mbps for a price between Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 20,000 plus taxes.

PTCL also offers free PTCL Smart TV (and Smart TV App), free unlimited on-net calls and access to its multimedia repository.

PTCL CharJi mobile broadband devices are also good options for users as they come with theoretical speeds of up to 36mbps and unlimited bandwidth.
