Fiberlink has shitty customer service, you have to go through lot of pain until it gets installed. Worst case scenario it took 6 months for me to get connection. So once you apply, forget about connection till the day they knock your door.

Once AAE-1 is functional, will us FL users receive any benefits from it? Latency/speed wise?
AAE-1 is functional as of a few days ago, as for latency, I can't say much, but the country as a whole has gotten a higher bandwidth capacity, so I'm hoping there is some change for us end users.

Fingers crossed. Have been looking forward to this for a while now

AAE-1 related news:

Pakistan Internet System Connected with World’s Largest and Faster Submarine Cable System.

Pakistan is now connected with a new submarine cable system with design capacity of at least 40 Terabits per second across 5 fiber pairs as AAE-1 (also called Asia-Africa-Europe-1) announced the commencement of its operations just moments ago.

AAE-1 is worlds largest submarine cable spanning over 25,000 KMs and is one of the first cable system to connect Hong Kong, Singapore, Middle East with Africa and Europe.

AAE-1 consortium, that coordinated efforts to complete the project in 10 years, include China Unicom, CIL (HyalRoute), Djibouti Telecom, Etisalat, GT5L, Mobily, Omantel, Ooredoo, OTEG, PCCW, PTCL, Reliance Jio, Retelit, Telecom Egypt, TeleYemen, TOT, Viettel, VNPT and VTC.

In Pakistan, the cable will be operated and managed by PTCL.

AAE-1 will immediately increase Pakistan’s international bandwidth pipe multiple-folds and will make country’s international connection more redundant.

New submarine cable will also help Pakistan meet its bandwidth needs as the internet usage in the country is on the rise.

Pakistan’s current international links and bandwidth capacity include:

TW1 with design capacity of 1.28Tbps
Sea-Me-We-3 with 480 Gbps with two fibre pairs
Sea-Me-We-4 with design capacity of 1.28Tbps
I-ME-WE with Design Capacity of 3.86Tbps
AAE-1 with design capacity of 40Tbps
Sea-Me-We-5 with design capacity of 24Tbps

On their FB page, it was mentioned that only for khi and hyd, but i called them they said it is for all cities including lahore and faisalabad. You can call them and confirm it. While this package came in Ramazan, and it was limited time offer, dont know exactly if it is still on.

When did these packages change?

FL offering 100 Mbps for 2100 a month and here PTCL is charging 20k per month for 100 Mbps.
I'd even settle for 50 Mbps if PTCL lowers the damn prices.

They did not change the packages, but offered a promotion for Whole One year, after one year normal rates will be applicable like i mentioned above.

Let's hope the addition of AAE-1 allows for a PERMANENT price reduction or change in speeds provided from most ISPs.
