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!!
Hi Faisal,
LinkdotNET is good in services lso in karachi,although i have used i think for 3 months and get quality spped.
In my opinion their service is actually good. If phone wire conditions are good in your area you get consistent service, I get speeds up to 56KB/S on 512kbps connection. However if you are connected to their router using usb port you sometimes need to restart the router after 5 to 6 hours, but network port is kinna stable.
latest rates are as follows.
512Kbps: 1200
1Mbps: 2000
2Mbps: 4000
They don’t have any download limit on any package but don’t know about the upload limit, either they have or not.
I Like this service very much becouse they dont lat if you want to open http://www.worldsex.com
LDN gives me full 512kbps speed but it only lasts for maximum 2 hours or even just 1 minute sometimes, then they automatically drop my IP and freeze my connection (due to their clever choice of PPPoE + dynamic IP and login/pass crap). My telephone line is excellent and I moved to LDN only to find that its comprehensively shit.
All the people praising LDN — you probably do not keep your net connection up for more than the duration of your pornographics sessions or your silly 1 hour a night chattings on mirc, etc. Try to run it for more than an hour (download something big over night — you paid for it!) and you\’ll see that its shit and it\’ll take a week to complete because it disconnects and freezes so often. Its extremely pathetic. Beware.
I think I\’ll try PTCL next.
Oh NO,it’s really a sad news.by the way if PTCL do the same then what will u do? i dont think so that LDN is giving you such kind of complaint and Horible too for me because i left PTCL because of same Problem and start using LDN Services.
So Good Luck friend….
