There are 2 types of exchanges offering transform packages. First which have been completely transformed and second which are being transformed.

Completely transform exchanges only offer transform packages on VDSL only. There is no ADSL service their. And there are no conventional packages.

Exchanges which are being transformed, currently providing both conventional and transform packages on whichever medium available there at area, ADSL or VDSL. ADSL only areas can only have up to 20 Mbps because ADSL support maximum 20 Mbps. If relevant cabinet has VDSL card, user can avail up to 100 Mbps transform package.


Easiest way to get VDSL (if available and PTCL guy isn't transferring you to VDSL from ADSL) is to apply for 30 Mbps transform package or request to upgrade. Since ADSL doesn't support beyond 20 Mbps, they have to change medium to VDSL. Once VDSL installed one can downgrade to 20, 10 or 5 Mbps transform package by just calling help line.

They cannot be downgraded back to ADSL packages (4-8-12...), but normal transform packages (5-10-20...) can be freely downgraded/upgraded in their own class.

Gulistan e Johar or Gulshan Karachi exchange, any news on its transformation?

PTCL is being unfair to ADSL users, by charging them 3 times more and give them 3 times less speeds.

I'm seriously thinking of filing a petition in Sindh High Court, to ask them to at least reduce the bill for current users, if their infrastructure does not allow them to upgrade to transformed packages for all exchanges.

You are getting the correct speed as you are on ADSL. The ADSL standard allows for max upload speed of 1 Mbps. If you opt for the annex m standard the speeds goes up to 2 Mbps at the cost of download speed. I am on VDSL - which supports higher upload speeds. I get 16 Mb down and 4 Mb up. Apply for VDSL if your exchange supports it - no extra charges and better upload speed.

Have you ever been to the exchange ? Jauhar`s exchange has been offering transform packages for quite some time now !

This is my 3rd month using 20mbps VDSL

That actually adds up with what the local broadband guy from the exchange told me. He said just wait in 15-20 days all the connections in the exchange will be converted to VDSL. Guess he wasn't making lame excuses. This is Gulgasht Exchange Multan BTW. Sucks that I bought a new Archer D5 though I guess I can always use it as a wifi router.

Which city? You are getting 16 Mbps there so it isn't that bad. VDSL is just a card that is installed in the cabinet. If your area has partial fibre the cabinet most likely will support VDSL upgrades as well.

They skipped the 30 Mbps package because 2 weeks back my friend tried to convert his old 12 Mbps packages to 30 Mbps transform package they said it's not available .

Ok so i need some guidance here from u guys about my connection. Recently yesterday my connection went completely down and upon investigation i came through that my local cabinet was getting upgraded with a new big one with fiber support, and from the exchange to the new cabinet there is all fiber connection, but from the cabinet to houses in my block there is copper wiring. now today all our connections are being turned on one by one but the connections are running with same SNR margins and we can see no changes in our connections and also our ports have been locked to 4mbps and 1mbps upload regardless of what we were getting before, i.e the ports got reset with the installation of new cabinet. Now my questions are if the snr margins are the same then whats the use of this type of connection and can any one explain to me that is this vdsl? and does fiber connnection activation require some kind of order? because my modem from 7 years before is still running on Adsl+annex m mode. and the connection is running fine even with the installation of new cabinet. Can anyone guide me on this?

And also upon investigation i came through that this upgrading was done for transformed packages.

My bad. I mistakenly wrote 30 MBps instead of 50.

Your connection is still ADSL. It seems that your cabinet is not completely transformed yet and connections are still on ADSL. Once they will turn it to VDSL they will change modems of your area one by one by calling and than you will be on VDSL.

For further assistance call your DSL guy. He will guide you better about timeline.
