Re: Broadband in Pakistan?
Broadband , aka dsl, is technically available in most major cities of Pakistan, but the only affordable rate is Rs. 999 for 256kbps connection with upload/download together limit of 1.5 gb! Businesses usually pay a ton more for unlimited usage and even higher for better speed! As far as in MB's is concerned, I think the major ISP's for regular dial-up users use a 2 mb max!!!
I live in islamabad and use dsl though, keep it on all the time, make calls w/skype and have my cordless phone usb'd to my computer as well, download a few mp3's once in a while, chat, surf etc, I usually run into 3gb a month trying to be careful! No fun when i find files I want that are like over 10 mb I have to think twice before clicking download, it sucks bad. Pakistan has to learn you cant tax every single thing in the country =(
