Pakistan ISP announces 50 MB/s Internet.


Recommended Posts

Yay. I love that . Perhaps first in South Asia. :laugh: PTCL Announcing Bandwidth (DSL) Data Rate Up to 50 Mbps Using VDSL2 Bonding Technology

PTCL has become the 1st operator in the world to use VDSL2 Bonding technology to provide to its bandwidth hungry DSL customers with Bandwidth up to 50 Mbps on its existing Copper network.

VDSL2 Bonding takes two copper based lines per subscriber and aggregates them to almost double the bandwidth speed available to the existing customers and also expands high speed broadband access to areas that are underserved today. Using VDSL2 Bonding technology, service providers can extend the life of their existing copper infrastructure supporting the delivery of bandwidth intensive services such as Triple play service, data and IPTV.

Now PTCL Customers will have an option to avail DSL Bandwidth up to 50Mbps and will be able to download any amount of data in moments :woot: Source

whats the point of having 50mbps and all that without being unlimited and most importantly being in a censored zone, where religious leaders would block, perhaps everything which apart from something which teaches you to be more biased religious.

PTCL Pakistan is providing unlimited bandwidth to its customers unlike other leading telecom companies. Yes if tata (perhaps) has launched 100Mpbs , but its only 10 GB you get. :laugh: While PTCL provides you unlimited. Considering censorship, it does not do that sort of stuff. :cool:

CENSOR? THE INTERNET???!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

people will always. ALWAYS find a way to watch and see what they want. you cannot stop it. no matter how many restrictions you impose.

50 Mbps ? 50MB/s, 50mbps is far less impressive :p

How , when you are getting unlimited downloads! :rolleyes: So you are implying that it might have less speed as advertised , that is the case with all other ISPs as well. Big deal.

What's the price tag on that in USD? I'd like to compare my unlimited 100mb connection to 50mb in a third world country, just to feel even better.

And we're talking about megabits here, right? Because if they offer 50 megabytes per second (400megabits) in Pakistan, I'll be mad.

No, I'm referring to your title saying "50MB/s" when it's really 50 mbps = 6.25MB/s

oh dear, good for you.

now now

our local ISP just upped it to 18Mbps for a shiney 300$/mo (and no it is limited with Fair use policy) :(

maybe we would be thier next year , when the rest of the world goes for 1Gbps :s

ISP are surely gready *****s

haha, the joys of Batelco?

What's the point of your uncensored connection when you're still an ignorant tard? :p

Pakistan has limited to no internet censorship...yea one youtube page and facebook was blocked for some time, but that's not the case anymore.

As for the 50 Mbps connection, it's still being trialed.

It is a shame Britain and their telecom services do not take note of South Korea, India and Pakistan.

I used to get 1.3 mb-1, now (due to house building and my house going farther down the loop) I am lucky to get 192 kb-1.

British politicians call Asia, third world, well they need to shut their own back door and sort out problems on the home front

before making nasty comments about Asia.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
