Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), the foremost internet service provider in the nation, has once again raised its tariffs.
In a recent announcement, the national telecommunication company increased the monthly rates for both landline and broadband connections, and these new rates are scheduled to come into effect from January 1, 2024.
PTCL has informed all its customers about the 10% tariff hike through a notification. While local media reports initially suggested a hike of more than 10%, the official statement clarified that the increase will be up to 10%, becoming effective at the beginning of the new year.
As part of the tariff revision, both landline customers and broadband subscribers will experience an increase in their monthly bills. The broadband rate adjustments for Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) connections are as follows:
6 Mbps: Rs2,050
10 Mbps: Rs2,400
20 Mbps: Rs2,650
30 Mbps: Rs3,020
50 Mbps: Rs5,100
100 Mbps: Rs8,800
The telecommunications giant attributes this adjustment to a rise in various business costs, leading to the revision of charges for PTCL broadband and fixed landlines.
