Telecom Networks in Pakistan – Connecting People Only When Luck Strikes

In Pakistan, telecom companies have managed to master a unique art: promising everything and delivering nothing, all while increasing prices faster than the speed of their actual services. Their motto should be, “Stay connected… only if the stars align, and there’s no power outage in sight.”

Telecom Networks in Pakistan: “Connecting People” (When They’re Lucky)

1. The Mysterious Case of Disappearing Signals

It’s 2024, and the entire world is streaming, scrolling, and chatting at lightning speed. Meanwhile, here in Pakistan, your phone’s signal bars resemble a cricket scorecard – zeroes everywhere. Call someone? Good luck! You’ll spend more time saying “hello, can you hear me?” than actually having a conversation. And, of course, when there’s a power outage (as frequent as your telecom provider’s price hikes), the signal vanishes as if it were never there in the first place. Apparently, signals in Pakistan are allergic to the dark.

2. Internet Speeds Slower Than a Snail’s Nap

Ah, the joys of mobile internet! When you pay for a 4G connection, you expect to at least, well… get 4G! But no, not in Pakistan. Here, your phone switches between G, E, and if you’re lucky, 3G – it’s like playing a game of signal roulette. Want to watch a YouTube video? Be prepared for it to buffer so much that by the time it loads, the video itself will be outdated news. Or, better yet, why not just stare at the spinning wheel for an hour? At least that will load.

3. Price Hikes: Faster Than Their Network

It’s almost poetic. Each month, you receive a text: “Dear Customer, Tomaintain the quality of services, the price of Super Card will be changed to Rs. 1199/ from 27th of September, 2024. “. It’s like they’re competing in a race—except it’s the prices that keep rising, not the service quality. What are they charging us for, you ask? Surely not the signals or the internet, because those seem to be on a permanent vacation. It seems the telecom companies are banking on us paying for their promises, rather than their services. Maybe the extra cash is for the adrenaline rush we get when a call actually goes through?

4. Packages You Can’t Use

Telecom companies advertise their packages as if they were golden tickets to some digital paradise. But once you’ve bought it, reality hits harder than a dropped call. You have 10GB of data that you can’t use because the internet is either non-existent or slower than your local postman. It’s like buying a ticket to a concert only to arrive and find out the band decided not to show up.

5. Signals Are Solar Powered… Apparently

Here in Pakistan, it seems telecom towers rely on the sun’s grace for their power. As soon as the electricity disappears, so do the signals. It’s almost as if these companies think their towers can absorb sunlight and operate like solar-powered calculators. So, next time there’s a load shedding spell, don’t bother checking your phone. You’ll get the same amount of signal whether your phone is on or off.

Conclusion: “Connecting People”—But Only When It’s Convenient

Dear telecom companies of Pakistan, thank you for your service. You’ve truly redefined the term “wireless.” But perhaps you could focus on delivering the services we’re paying for before you hike your prices again next month. A little less “connecting” of wallets, and a little more connecting of actual signals, would be greatly appreciated.

Until then, we remain loyal subscribers, patiently waiting for that one magical day when our phones work the way they were intended.

P.S. If you’re reading this on your mobile internet, congrats! You’re one of the lucky few who’ve managed to get a signal long enough to do so.
