These ISPs Offer the Fastest Internet in Pakistan

The introduction of 3G/4G in Pakistan has helped bring the wonders of the internet to millions of people.

However, mobile internet tends to be on the expensive side and if you belong to a household with multiple internet users, you know that lots of video streaming happens, and even several gigabytes are downloaded daily. This makes mobile internet prohibitively expensive. It’s also a major reason why people still use broadband connections.

Why Broadband Internet is Preferred

Broadband or fixed household connections usually bring the added benefit of unlimited downloads and stable download speeds. Before 3G/4G, it used to be our only pathway to internet connectivity but since then it’s a relatively slower means of internet access.

Now that mobile internet is so fast, home broadband connections are also required to offer higher download speeds along with traditional unlimited download caps.

ProPakistani has compiled a list of broadband service providers which provide the fastest internet speeds in Pakistan. Take a look at the best option for you depending on your area.

Note: The list only includes ISPs that offer a download limit of at least 50GB per month. ISPs are mentioned based on their fastest internet package regardless of any limitations due to area, variations in actual speed, or any other factors.

So, without further ado, here are the ISPs that provide the fastest internet in Pakistan.

Transworld Associates

Transworld is Pakistan’s only private sector organization with exclusive ownership to submarine fiber optic cable networks. Transworld’s great network architecture is what makes it the fastest internet in Pakistan.

TWA is Pakistan’s TIER-1 network operator and a bandwidth provider who is providing the best internet in Pakistan to top cellular mobile operators, ISPs, corporate organizations, and thousands of small and medium enterprises.

Starting its operations in 2006, TWA is the only internet service provider in Pakistan which owns its 1,300 KM submarine cable system TW1 which enables it to provide the ‘best corporate internet in Pakistan’.

Transworld Associates is also the consortium member of the latest 20,000KM fiber optic cable system SEA-ME-WE 5 which is a multiregional data superhighway connecting Pakistan to Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Europe.

Fiberlink

Offering fiber optic broadband services in area of Karachi, Hyderabad, Lahore and Faisalabad, Fiberlink is a reliable ISP.

Fiberlink offers speeds of up to 200mbps to household users. Starting at Rs. 1,500 for 12mbps, customers get to choose from several packages including 20mbps (Rs. 2,000), 40mbps (Rs. 2,500), 100mbps (Rs. 4,000), 150mbps (Rs. 4,500) and 200mbps (Rs. 4,800).

That’s not all, the speed doubles during the night (2:30AM to 9:00AM), even for the 200mbps package. Those who pay for the whole year upfront also get additional discounts on the monthly bill.

PTCL

PTCL is the largest internet service provider in Pakistan and is by far the most accessible and most used one in the list. The semi-government company has a strong fiber backbone including its own undersea cables.

StormFiber

StormFiber claims to be Pakistan’s most reliable fiber backed home broadband service provider in Pakistan. Customers certainly seem to back the company’s claims but that’s not something we can judge right now.
