Broadband Price Wars In Pakistan: Link Dot Net Matches PTCL Offer
After years of pricey bandwidth in Pakistan, things have taken a turn for better. Link Dot Net (LDN) has decided to increase its DSL speed to match the PTCL offer discussed here. This was a swift response, which leads me to think that LDN was perhaps prepared for this and was waiting for PTCL to make a move first. After all, LDN uses the same infrastructure as PTCL. This is great news for the consumers in Pakistan. The only thing we have to watch out is that the quality does not degrade with this.
2008 was the year when a number of business and technology trends converged and gave way to more bandwidth, available at more places and for relatively cheaper costs. This includes EDGE based on USB modems, WiMAX in selected cities and the expansion of DSL, cable and fiber based broadband.
As PTCL continued its broadband expansion, it has also helped start a price war. Because of its scale, power and reach, every time PTCL comes up with a promotion or rate reduction, the entire industry feels the ripple effect and either matches it or is forced to offer something else. There is some talk of a closer consolidation of Mobilink Infinity and Link Dot Net so that they are better able to compete with PTCL.

Hi All,
While LDN are upgrading their system to double the speeds, many or allmost all are experiencing NO BROWSING ISSUE. Anyone agrees? I am many of my friends are having no Browsing since two days and I don’t know when they will be able to up the system.
Thanks

Well i will have to agree with your statement, i don’t know why wateen is totally going out of the market… they need to look out or they will loose the market completely
[...] Link Dot Net Matches PTCL Offer [...]
I am pretty sure that Wateen is still sleeping, or otherwise, they simply do not want to lower their prices. To my awareness, Wateen is still suffering from immense internal inertia.
Samir – there has been a lot of discussion about the lack of paypal and similar services. See here:

Pakistan is in Competition now in Telecome industry but somebody must talk about E BIZ for commmon men.
DO U KNOW
PAYPAL service and EBAY is kept away from us.
Why somebody doesnot speak to us about that.
why someone doesnot makes that effort to give same process
This is a welcome news for all pakistani people as this means more people will be able to afford better quality broadband internet … this could very well mean advancement in education and awareness about the world at large as well!
I called LDN helpline at 111600111 and they have ensured that this upgrade is for ALL customers, including the ones currently using the student package, which just goes to show that now students will have more bandwidth for less…good step. Let’s see what Wateen does now!
