OMG OMG OMG!!! now chandoo will shift to DSL

 

[radd]

we can have dsl at out home??!!!

 

[iNF3RN0]

^ absolutely yes, and I am thinking about getting shift on 512KBps, but the only bad thing is that PTCL packages are volume based (I think 2GB/mo) only 1MBps package is for unlimited download..

Thanks,

Just to clear stuff up, its kiloBITS

256Kpbs = 32 KILOBYTE ( 2 GB per month )
512Kpbs = 64 KILOBYTE ( 4 GB per month )
1Mbps = 128 KILOBYTE ( Unlimited for 12 Months )

Still decent prices

 

[iNF3RN0]

^ but when I had a talk with a salesman at ITCN, he said that 1MBPS package don't have any download limit? means totally unlimited :\ now you are saying it's for 12 months? WTF..even after paying RS 3500? <_<

 

[A.Rafay]

^ decent... they are great prices

 

[devilscallmedad]

^ but when I had a talk with a salesman at ITCN, he said that 1MBPS package don't have any download limit?

They are misguiding you then, its 12 months unlimited then its bandwidth limited ( 10 GB ?? )

 

[Rana Sahb]

^^^NO NO NO
PTCL cleared up that problem months ago i also thought that before but its unlimited FOREVER
i talked to several sales reps and the DSL manager of islamabad they all say its forever !!
So dont worry

 

[iNF3RN0]

^ yes that's what I am saying..but unlimited download is available only for 1MBPs package which is still out of my budget..

Thanks,
