Delivering the Crunch in Pakistan Technology
PTCL’s fail advertisements at ITCN to convince people to use Smart TV
I was at ITCN 2009 today with Umair Khan Jadoon in Karachi, and we couldn’t help but take pictures of these advertisements that PTCL had put around their stall. Each of them had a different ‘witty’ line ( if you may ) to convince people to use Smart TV. Now personally, having seen the demo of both a classical old movie as well as Geo transmission at the PTCL stall today, I have no reason to let go of my cable wala for Smart TV, which offered almost no improvements in quality!
Anyways, check out the great advertisements by PTCL below:
P.S. how about a caption contest on these pictures? the best one might win a freebie ;)

Did you know Yahoo is the most visited website in Pakistan? Did you know you could reach 1,146,963 Females from Pakistan using Yahoo? Did you know you could reach 1,176,162 Adults from Pakistan using Yahoo? It’s funny how Yahoo chose to make The Generation Next, Females and Adults the highlighted words. Specially, Females being at
Why I’m not a fan of the Go Green campaign anymore
about 1 year ago - 20 comments
If you’re from Pakistan and a Twitter user, you probably know by now of the Go Green (Facebook group here) campaign which is an initiative of Farhan Masood to show love and unity for our country. While, the idea behind the campaign is excellent, a lot of publicity is being generated on blogs and even
The Ultimate Linkdotnet vs. PTCL decider
about 1 year ago - 16 comments
VS Make no mistakes about it. Linkdotnet and PTCL are like the giants of DSL in Pakistan. While, there are other broadband alternatives like WorldCall, Maxcom, Multinet, Wateen and many more, the focus of this poll will remain on these two. Personally, here at PakCrunch, our experience with PTCL has been abysmal. They have the

Yesterday, I went to Galaxy Computers (that’s my trusted computer shopping spot) to buy USB headphones. I took my notebook with me to make sure that they work with it. While talking to the Galaxy guy, I told him I want to check those, he said “yes you can”. I pulled out my notebook out
Fishy things to know if you are a PTCL broadband customer
about 1 year ago - 12 comments
I have been using PTCL Broadband from past 3 month, and had several strange experiences like non-transaction of paid bills, holding phone for about 56 minutes to talk to senior technical support, feeling stupid when internet isn’t working, imaginarily beating the beast who is responsible for my internet downtime and dreaming about tooth fairies when
Why Pakistan Needs Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is one of the most heard buzz word nowadays in Web 2.0. Many people believe that it is just marketing and nothing technical. It’s not true; Cloud Computing is actually ‘Marketing’ + ‘Big Technical changes’. To understand what actually is cloud computing, watch this video: Suppose that you have an idea for a
PTCL goes green and redesigns bill
about 1 year ago - 8 comments
I just got my newly redesigned PTCL bill ( now renamed as ‘services invoice’ in the header ) today and it struck me in more ways than one. For once, the bill actually feels pleasant to look at. Some columns have been rearranged here and there, and overall has a much cleaner look than before.

PakCrunch, as you know resembles the hugely popular TechCrunch in name, but has a different aim altogether. To cover startups, companies, technology news, websites and innovations coming out from the Pakistani industry as well as students from all over the country. Granted, there’s not lack of talent and skilled people here, but what we lack

SmartTV offers excellent voice quality and picture quality.
In order to attract customers, PTCL will have to offer more channels.
Channels like Cartoon Network is missing.

Wow, ptcl really suck in advertising smart tv.
There service is going good but they should advertise it more just like tata sky +. PTcl Dsl is the best broadband service. The only thing is that they should increase some foreign & indian channels on Smart Tv and decerase its price and the most importantly advertise it a lot.
