Which ISP can I get in Phase 6, D.H.A., Karachi (on Badar near Commercial Avenue)

[lionheart84]

I recently moved to Phase 6, DHA, Karachi, near Khayaban-e-Badar and Hilal (close to Commercial Avenue). I applied for a PTCL PSTN line (Land Line), so that I could get their 1 MB~2MB broadband Package as I was already using it at my previous residence.

However; to my shock PTCL at present doesn't have any available lines in that area and when I visited their office they told me that there's no feasibility of a new connection in that area. Can you imagine. So I tried all I could, but nothing happened and I gave up.

Now I need to get an internet connection, and I need an ISP that can offer broadband internet service to me without a phone line and has a speed of atleast 1 Mbps without any data limit / month.

Do not suggest that I go for USB devices such as World Call and PTCL EVo as I need to use this internet on multiple computers / laptops, PS3, and mobiles. I was already using TP Link in combination with PTCL's broad band internet.

The only choices that were open to me were Wi-Tribe, Wateen and World Call.

Wi - Tribe has an unlimited package but it actually only offers 30GB of data and calls it Unlimited.

Wateen - Their regular Wireless device didn't catch any signals in my area. (As most wireless / cellular signals have issues in this area) so I got an outdoor Device from them which costed me 5000/= The best part of this device is that it is an outdoor device (and resistent to all environmental problems such as its water proof, rust proof , etc. etc.) and it directly catches internet via satelite. However it is a wired connection; but that wasn't an issue for me as I could connect it to my TP LInk wireless router.
But some how the deivce they gave me just worked for an hour or two and then got faulty. Now I'm trying to get it replaced or will file a refund claim.


World Call - Haven't tried it yet, but I'm not sure if their signals would be fine in my area. Also their tarrifs seem pretty high...


What do you guys suggest? Or does any1 live near that area? I need a suggestion on which ISP can I get here in this area that can cater to my unlimited needs.

I have done that already

Is Worldcall cable net available in your area?

It is, but I won't be able to connect it to a wireless router in that case.

Well abhi tak tou kuch nahin hua hai... I'm waiting for them.

I don't think Connect communication provides internet in my area and even if it does, its mostly down....



I've got Wateen for my self at the moment. The wateen rep came to my house with hi wifi device, but it couldn't catch signals.... then he suggested I get an out door device from Wateen, which connects via radio waves directly from their signal emitting towers....

The first problem I faced was that the device they installed somehow got faulty the very first day (before eid) .... then they came and replaced my new device with a refurbished one, which worked the next day, but then again died....

Then again on my complaint they came over and found out that the RJ45 connector from the outdoor device got lose or something...

now its working fine so far.....



Does anyone know how I can connect this to a WI FI router (TPLINK) .......... if yes then please guide me....

[kakaa]

Just get a tplink router or any other router and insert internet wire in the router and from router get another ethernet cable from router into pc lan its just like ptcl

[lionheart84]

I did that, but when I click on the Network Sharing Center (Vista) ... the network map shows that the PC is connected to the device, but the Internet shows a red CROSS (i.e. the internet connectivity isn't there)

I was using PTCL with TP link before, but now I need help in configuring Wateen with TP link....

why does it have to be so technical??

[lionheart84]

Ok somehow, I've made it all work, but when I set a password, all my other devices like NOKIA phone, PS3, etc. etc. can't connect to it...

they just keep searching for an IP address..... any idea bout this one?
