While looking at the above Print media advertisement where PTCL proudly presents free internet facility over their fixed line. let me update you folks that this offer is no more valid since 16th may 2009.I came to realize this when i witnessed an outstanding amount with the tag “PTCL internet charges” in telephone bill. when i consult 1236 to inquire about this, The call center guy told me the story that from 16th may 2006 ptcl is charging on dial up internet @ RS 2/20minutes that makes it RS 6/hour. Since the last couple of months i was using PTCL dial up internet at home, Since there is no broadband facility available at my home location yet so i have no other option except to stay with it. The new charges for internet is nothing else but a sheer disappointment for folks who was return customers for PTCL fixed line service.

When PTCL introduce their wireless telephone services in Pakistan, i found nothing particular in fixed line telephone connection provided by them except the free internet availability which was launched back in November 2008, Yet that is no more available. So why to pay additional for line rent & CLI when their is a better option for dial up internet in the form of PTCL wireless. I confess that PTCL has really improved the quality of their services but one the other hand i really suspect if they didn’t alter the tariffs regarding line rent in the fixed line telephony, they will gradually lose their subscribers.
