Wateen Launching on 31st December/1st January

I asked this from a frachise. They also told me that we will be providing 1Mb speed at around Rs. 1200 with 4GB data download limit. They will be offering unlimited download at amazingly affordable rates. They will be providing Wimax for corporate sector, WLan for individuals (residential customers also), DSL, Cable TV via satellite direct and other.


Let's wait and see.
What do you think?

Yaeh their Vi max service is in operational status since last month but more important is that if the news is true for 1 MB for 1200 Rs with 4 GB data limit than it is amazing and i am gonna be the 1st to get it for online gaming.:)

Although this is very, very old news (most PG members have been waiting for this endlessly for over an year now) it's forgivable. I can't wait to switch to Wateen, too!

Yar their website is mentioning nothing but only Wi Max. It said before that if this is true than it is great but its hard to sallow that 1mb with just 1200Rs.

No, wateen is not great at all. They suck.
In Pakistan, the problem is monoply of such companies and because of that there is no concept of a proper customer support.

I first saw wateen's ad injang newspaper on 14th August saying their wimax service was launched and that people can register now. I registered the same day. They said someone from their side will contact me soon. No one did.

After about 3 weeks, I contacted them and they said inshallah some one will contact me till the end of september. No one did.

I contacted again and talked to them a bit harshly and they said now someone will contact me till the end of october. No one did.

And I said go to hell wateen. You suck.

I contacted them through email a lot of times and guess what, no reply at all. I have contacted customer support of world's top PC companies like intel, asus, microsoft, AMD and nvidia through email and they dont rest until they solve your problem.

In pakistan, every such company is just making people fool. They just LAUNCHEd their service on 14th august to stop people buying PTCL brodband.

If their customer support is pathetic like that before the start of their service, how can some one expect them to be better? After all, first impression is the last impression.


Yeah sure, Wateen's service seems cheap at first. But pay 8500 for their CPE and there goes the public-friendly tariff.

My friend got the details from their franchise. They say if no proper signals are coming to your home, then you will have to install an additional dish antenna worth rs. 4000.

Now to their competition, ptcl has made teir service much better. Download is free all night without any limit. And for first 3 months, you get 30 GB download limit.

I think PTCL is more economical than wateen, but when it comes to customer support, both are in a competition of sucking more than each another.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    MS one upping Sony in catching the biggest L in gaming
    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
