Here is the list of internet services in Pakistan:
- PTCL
- Stormfiber
- Nayatel
- Fiberlink
- Optix
- WorldCall
- Jazz 4G
1. PTCL
PTCL is the biggest internet service provider in Pakistan with connection availability in almost every area of the country. It is a semi government internet service provider with high quality optical fiber and its own undersea cable at the core. It is the most used and easily accessible internet in Pakistan.
It offers a wide range of packages ranging from 6 mbps to 250 mbps. PTCL offers various other benefits to its customers including PTCL Smart TV, access to its multimedia repository and unlimited free on-net calls.
Unlike other internet companies, PTCL provides coverage to the entire Pakistan. Its services are available from Azad Jammu and Kashmir to Kashmore. Due to its wide coverage and a huge number of users, PTCL internet suffers in quality. Somedays, the internet will work just fine while on other days, it will just die down.
PTCL offers unlimited downloading at a great downloading speed. However, it can improve a lot in uploading speed. Their DSL connection provides downloading speed up to Mbps and uploading speed is as low as 2 Mbps. Its fiber internet is available in only a few areas which is expanding with every passing day.
If you want to get a PTCL internet connection, call on 1218 and follow the instructions. Your internet connection will be installed within 1-2 days. Installation charges can vary depending on the type of connection; for DSL and VDSL, the charges will be PKR 5,000 and for GPON fiber, they will be around PKR 15,000.
2. Stormfiber
Stormfiber is the most reliable fiber-supported broadband service provider in Pakistan. Its packages start from 10 Mbps in PKR 5999 and go all the way to 100 Mbps. One of the downsides of Stormfiber is that its internet packages can be confusing for some users as it has several sub-packages in their primary packages.
Stormfiber uses optical fiber which gives the fastest speed possible. Their optical fiber is the main reason for their high installation charges. But any internet service provider that uses optical fiber will charge as much for installation. The charges for fiber connection installation can be as high as 11,000 rupees.
Stormfiber is available in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta, Multan, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot and Hyderabad. It is the top internet service in terms of coverage and availability which has been expanding rapidly.
They provide the best customer care. It takes a maximum 2-3 days to address the issue after a complaint. You can get Stormfibre internet connection by visiting and signing up on their official website. Make sure their connection is available in your area before applying.
3. Nayatel
Nayatel is one of the best internet service providers in Pakistan. Their internet quality is as good as Stormfiber but they are lacking pace in their network expansion. If there is a Nayatel connection in your area, it is the best choice to make even though there is Stormfiber availability in your area.
They provide the best quality internet. Nayatel internet is available in the entire Islamabad and Rawalpindi and has millions of loyal customers in these areas.
Nayatel uses optical fiber which provides stable internet and the best speed you can get for both downloading and uploading. They offer limited bundles where you receive limited usage in the working days and unlimited data for weekends. They have recently started to offer unlimited packages ranging from 10Mbps to 20 Mbps.
Except for their connection installation charges, the prices of the packages are affordable as compared to other internet providers. Nayatel also provides good quality telephone and cable TV services to its customers.
The starter unlimited package for Nayatel is 10Mbps is PKR 2,000 on optical fiber with amazing 10Mbps uploading and downloading speed while the 8Mbps at PTCL is PKR 2,249 on copper cable with 2Mbps uploading and 8Mbps downloading.
Nayatel’s unlimited packages may be too expensive for the average household but you can get limited packages with 125 GB to 150 GB at 10MBps to 20Mbps. With these limited packages, you will get unlimited downloading from 8 am to 8 pm from Monday to Friday and on weekends. The data limit is applicable on the rest of the time. You can get unlimited bundles as addons to the limited packages at 500 rupees per month with an additional speed of 30 Mbps.
The internet connection installation charges of Nayatel are PKR 16,000. The installation bill includes router (PKR 11,000), monthly package fees (PKR 3,000) and cable charges (3,000).
4. Fiberlink
Fiberlink is the fastest internet service provider in Pakistan. They provide internet speeds of up to 1 Gbps at low prices which are even lower than PTCL connection.
Fiberlink internet packages start from 16Mbps and go as high as 500Mbps and the speed doubles at night from 2:30am to 9:00am. The high-speed internet makes Fiberlink stand out from the rest of the internet service providers.
The major downside of Fiberlink is that it takes a long time (as long as three months) to get an internet connection. Also, they don’t provide you with a router so you will have to buy your own router. Another downside of this internet service provider is the bad quality of the internet. You might not be getting the speed you are paying for. And they can improve their customer service.
Fiberlink is available in Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan and Hyderabad. If you want to get a Fiberlink internet connection, you can do so by simply signing up on their official website, pay the installation bill and your connection will be installed. They also offer yearly plans which bring down the yearly bill a great deal.
5. Optix
Optix is another top quality internet in Pakistan. They too employ optical fiber to provide high speed internet. In addition to the good speed, they provide brilliant customer service. However, its connections are available only in the limited areas of Lahore, Peshawar, Karachi and Rawalpindi.
Their internet packages start from 2 Mbps and the biggest package is 100 Mbps with the same uploading and downloading speed and unlimited downloading. The smallest package is 2 Mbps which you can buy at PKR 1,350 per month and the biggest package of 100 Mbps comes at 11,999 per month which is highly affordable for the average household in Pakistan. It is a good choice if they provide coverage to your area.
Optix connection and customer support is as good as any other good internet service provider mentioned here. Its internet connection installation charges are less than other internet provider companies. You can get an Optix connection at only PKR 10,000. You will have to buy a WiFi router separately which costs around PKR 4,500.
6. WorldCall
WorldCall is the oldest and reliable internet service provider in Pakistan. Its consumer services are now limited to the two major cities of Pakistan; Karachi and Lahore.
The maximum speed you can get with Worldcall is 10mbps which is available at cheaper rates. The company uses fiber optic for all the connections which provide high-quality internet. Worldcall is the most inexpensive internet service provider in terms of rates that provides reliable data connection.
Its lowest internet package is 1mbps which is available at PKR 699. It includes unlimited downloads while the biggest package is 10mbps which you can buy for PKR 3500 with unlimited downloads and free cable TV.
7. Jazz 4G
Jazz 4G is the best wireless internet in Pakistan. The speed of the Jazz 4G is a lot better than Zong 4G whose quality has deteriorated in the past few years. However, the coverage of Jazz 4G is not as vast as Zong. The areas where Jazz provides 4G services receive good speed internet and good signals.
Jazz 4G gives internet speeds of up to 30-40 Mbps when it is working at its best. But, Jazz 4G doesn’t work well in the hilly areas so you might want to switch to Zong 4G when you are going for a tour to hilly areas.
Jazz has different 4G devices including Super 4G Wifi, Three a Wingle, and a home Wifi divide. The biggest limitation of wireless internet is limited usage which makes Jazz the most expensive internet service provider in Pakistan. For more information or query in mind click here.
