LINK dot NET (dot PK ..!!)

Posted on February 10, 2008 by Asim Imtiaz


LINK dot NET has recently launched its operations in Pakistan. Link dot net (dot pk) is an Orascom Telecom company, the company behind Mobilink GSM. From the looks of it, it seems like they are providing DSL and Dial Up services at the moment.  The packages they are offering do seem competitive and I wouldn’t be surprized if they will soon be launching WiMAX setup as well. They do have the LDI operator license.

I was trying to take a look at what they offer and unknowingly punched in the URL link.net. The website opened up and I was trying to figure where it has any context for “PAKISTAN”. The actual URL is link.net.pk, but if you visit both the website you will be taken by the 100% resemblance of the site. Link.net is the parent company that provides the Internet services in Egypt, UAE ..err…basically Middle East.

Never mind. Coming back to the package plans. I spotted a plan that got my attention. They are offering a DSL package 512 kbps connectivity with no volume limit for just Rs. 2000 per month. This seems to be a very good package. However, I do not have telephone connection (PTCL line) at home so I can not try and give a feedback on the service.

I am looking forward to see if they launch any WiMAX packages, to make a break-through in the highly competitive broadband market in Pakistan.

Anybody trying LINK dot NET out here, please feel free to comment and tell us about your experience. We would love to know!!
