Well i wanted to switch from my worldcall connection to PTCL 2mb student package which would cost me around Rs. 1400. But ive been trying hard to register but in vain..........:mad:

First of all....using FIREFOX (latest), it jus doesnt allow me to even put my phone number properly in the first stage of registration.....It just blanks out the area code area.

Then wen i try using INTERNET EXPLORER 7, it does allow me to type the area code.....but at the next screen, wenever i try to write my University roll number and clock on anything else, a popup appears saying that "u must enter atleast one digit as roll number" WTFFFF

Then i tried calling the PTCL helpline 0800-80800 ......there is a recorded message and after that no operator picks up.....(Tried several times).....WTDF (DOUBLE FCUK)

And ive been trying to do this for the past two days....... it jus sucks big time.....IS THIS THE LEVEL OF SERVICE I SHOULD EXPECT FROM THE SO MUCH HYPED UP PTCL BROADBAND IN THE FUTURE AS WELL????? OR CAN SUM BDY PROVIDE ME WID A SOLUTION???

Yup exactly. Expect more :D

It's better you go to the customer services center and ask the guy to register for you.

dude u r the one who is doing things wrong, u need to fill all the boxes with an * i.e ur student reg # at ur institute, then ask ur college's broadband admin to fwd ur app to ptcl, then call 0800 80800 to confirm ur order...its that simple :p

P.S : Do it in IE7

I was doing everything right....except for 1 thing........They require u to enter ure roll number in "Alpha Numeric" form. Not just in Numeric.....NOW how the HELL am i supposed to know that when they havent mentioned it anywhere!!!!! Now i have been able to successfully register BUT.......FCUK! Ill always hate PTCL for this shit :p The only reason im switching from PTCL is that im paying Rs. 1400 to WC for a 512kb connection when i can get a 2mb from PTCL for the same amount :)

I had all the problems you're facing while applying for the student package.
I applied 5 times. Every time they told me something was wrong.
In the end I applied for the normal package. It was installed the next day. :s

    Alan wake 2 is yet to recover it's development costs. Due to no physical release and no steam launch.
    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
