Yahoo! Got DSL at home

// March 19th, 2009 // About Fahd Murtaza, mansehra

I just ordered a PTCL DSL connection so-called PTCL Broadband. The process is quite easy. You just need to dial 1236 and the rest is ABC. It was fun talking to their CSR today which is usually not fun due to not availability of the CSRs. PTCL is getting good these days. I get speed of 1MB line on my 512kbps connection t office. Amazing right? But I have another connection just ordered at my home. It was my long time wishlist item and I was going to put it on my bucket list as I was thinking the PTCL is really slow in adding new cities to their network and may be it wont get done in my life time.

But they say, “Something is better than nothing” , so I am happy with them offering these connections.

I had a very good fiber optics connection in Islamabad. The line was 2MB. So I really have enjoyed better speeds on the internet but it was a dream to have my own office and a cool looking office setup with availability of Speedy Internet at my home. so I dont have to stay in office working all the night. Now I can stay home at nights, work from home and enjoy Prathas and Great Meals my mom cooks.

I was using VPTCL before at home and it was good in the very beginning when this service started, but just like any service in Pakistan, it declined and now its not even better than a 2kbps dialup. Shame on you PTCL. I like you and hate you on the same time. Please keep your name with broadband as well. Dont make it a rubber-band

I will still be working at office but for 10 hours/day. The rest of the time is for my family . Isn’t it cool? Yeah I agree it is And whenever there is a problem with any site I manage, I can fix it quickly.
