I will be in Pakistan between 5th Feb and 5th March. Is it possible to have mobile (wirless) broadband for one month in Gujar Khan city, Distt Rawalpind??
Well… If you are talking about PTCL Wireless Broadband then I am afraid you will have to pay the whole amount of device which is 4000 PKR and 1 month charges (2000 PKR).
Today, I visited One Stop Shop situated at Stadium Road, Rawalpindi to get the device installed on my Laptop but unfortunately, they didn’t have that. I was told on phone by PTCL guys, that On the Go device is available on all OSS and sales centers in Rawalpindi & Islamabad, but that’s not true.
PTCL Stadium Road branch guy told me to a week at least or else I can get that from Blue Area OSS. Well… I am planning to get it done as soon as possible so, possibly be visiting Blue Area in a day or two.
Finally, I visited Blue Area Branch. I asked for the device and it was provided. Thank God, I took my laptop HP Pavilion dv2700 CTO Notebook PC and said to the guy to install it on my lappy. Well… he checked the laptop and said PCMCIA adapters is not there on my laptop :O and its either not available on new laptops. I was shocked and asked him then why on earth PTCL made these devices when new users can’t use it… Well he had no justification for this.
I will have to wait for couple of more months for the USB device :s

What say about Wah Cantt, Vfone connectivity & signals are not good even in satellite town, Rawalpindi. Well… you should try to shift your phone somewhere open place or put it new window.
No, you can not get broadband connection non your vfone. You should have a landline number to avail broadband facility.
This is not available in my city and I am still a customer of Link dot Net. PTCL people told me my house was too far away from exchange or some odd stuff…well, whatever. I’m happy with what I have and LDN has also started a gaming zone with CounterStrike and such so at least it is fun…
LinkDotNet recently came up with most economical package (1MBPS for just Rs. 1200/-). And their service is awesome. With new features like gaming zone, they will be boosting their sales.
i have wireless router with four lan ports …. can i share internet like i am sharing in dsl ???? i am assume that i ll get usb version of wireless broad band……. so will it possible ??

don u feel tat this is just crap tat nothing 4 students????????? and students are using lap tops more then anybody else all over pakistan kindly decrease ur rates same like u r giving in broadband wid land line ….. think about it
If you are asking me to decrease the rate, it is not possible as I have nothing to do with PTCL or any of its brands. Please go to ptcl.com to lodge your complaint or call 1218.
To be honest, EVO sucks….Its all bogus the one receives 500kbps to 700kbps speed….i have a PTCL tower within 1 KM range from my home but still i receive like 64kbps to 50kbps max. speed….This is all bullshit…try having a normal broadband and dont waste your money on this fake deal !
yarrr wht about the coverage..and all stuff..moving from one city to another…n wht about its services..
