PTCL Triple Play Project

LESCO, teamed with my local ISP (who gives bandwidth on LAN, and therefore, dies with every one hour power failure) finally made me bite the bullet and move to the PTCL Triple Play Project aka Broadband Pakistan today. The PTCL techs just left after installing the connection (in 10 minutes) and the speed tests so far are not bad at all.

Contrary to my expectations, I have had a very smooth customer service experience till now. One of the few good things about Broadband Pakistan is that you can get it upgraded and downgraded for free with one phone call, and you will be charged according to your usage. They didn't give me a wifi modem though (they save them for the 1Mbps lines, discriminating 8@$tards!), but told me to call their office after 4-5 days and they will change the modem (I hope they are true to their words). Now I just need to test the one dozen UPSes lying around to find a working one and I'll be a bit less dependent on LESCO.

    Honestly, LESCO is planning to team up with ISPs to provide broadband over powerline (BoPL) services to its electricity subscribers.

    Now that is the funniest thing I have heard in days really. Has LESCO forgotten that to provide bandwidth, they have to provide electricity first?!

    I send my very best wishes for success to the people of Pakistan, as India and the United Ststes seek to take over the Pakistan government, steal the property, nutralize Pakistan’s defense system and subjugate the people there premanently. History records the bravery and the intelligence of the Pakistan heroes for all times as the dual axis of evil, the United States of America and ‘?Isreal’, continue their murderous & despotic rampage globally. Finally, regarding the fbi/cia punks and cutthroats:
    As people discover the immoral, cowardly and macabre character of the agents, operatives, handlers and associates of the fbi/cia (as manifest globally in the killing/torture techniques used by these sociopathic assassins to insure compliance to new world order dictates) we may not reasonably expect a merciful redress from foreign and domestic freedom fighters forced from desperation to employ against US equally aggressive and abhorrent stratagems.

    So glad you have the freedom of speech to complain about the United States on a world-wide public highway without being put into jail and losing your job and freedom.

    It’s more than too bad that Christians are not allowed that same right where you live.

    BTW, Torture is never right or moral.

    It would be moral to make sure you include the right people in your negative comments.

    Geral would have you living under the Taliban if he could! The United States has no interest beyond stability and peace in Pakistan.

    The thugs and torturers of fbi/cia are the usa version of your Taliban, except that the Taliban are defending their homeland against invading hoodlums:
