Wi-Tribe vs Qubee vs Wateen, Pakistan’s Wireless providers compared

I’ve been using my Wateen connection for online gaming on PS3 and so far have found it to be the best. PTCL sucks and i downgraded my package on it as advised by the ppl at the PTCL exchange as i wasnt getting a speed over 40Kbps on it

by the way… my location is Township and use a Wateen Outdoor device. Maybe you used the service a long time back

My interaction with wateen was almost an year ago and it didnt go well. BTW I just got QUBEE isntalled and it is looking good as far as Speed test and youtube videos are concerned. Pingtime is also good. I havnt checked the online gaming performance, will check the CS servers lag and let you guys know …

Just one thought, payment options for Qubee are limited right now. They allow paying up via voicher at Faysal bank or you wi’ll have to visit their main office at M.M Alam road to deposit the payment. As per their own staff payment at their franchise is not recommended in case you want to get the connection restored on priority basis..

i have been using Wateen for over a year now and it has never let me down, Used PTCL-IT SUX, WiTribe doesnt work due to coverage issue and Just got that cute Qubee shuttle. so far its doing good but im sure once the network has high number of Users it will give me a tough time.
Its hard to get signals in Cantt, lahore. Also the bill payment system of Wateen is the most convenient.
Reliability is the name of the game.

Tried PTCL student package and it was great until my DSL modem stopped working and for three months PTCL did not respond to my complaints. Shifted to Wateen Cable in DHA and it is too fast too furious. Loving it. mostly use it for downloading movies, games and watching streaming TV shows. As for wireless, I used Wateen for two years before shifting to cheaper PTCL and did not have any problems except for them not having any credit card payment solution. Overall, for me Wateen has been and is a good experience.

Initially, when i had PTCL installed it was pretty good, the streaming was perfect but then the download speeds went down the hill. It felt like as if i was using a dial-up connection and PTCL kept giving me the same excuse that there is something wrong with their exchange and will be fixed soon. Its been over a year and a half and it still gives the speed between 40 – 50 kbps and my father is the only one who uses it to check his mails at home. I then had Wi-tribe installed on the advice of a friend. I must say that their quick action to get my connection up and running was a great example of how ISPs should be. Wi-tribe gave me a decent speed, not anywhere near what PTCL gave me at first but then soon my wimax modem didnt pick up signals, i thought that something was wrong with the modem but when they replaced it, the issue was the still there. Their helpline said that there must be too many people using the internet in the area. I told her that cant be the issue since there was no problems with the speed but rather it wasnt connecting to the net at all. She had no reply to that and when i kept asking her to give me a logical answer, she had nothing to say. I had to smash the modem because if they cant tell me whats wrong then there is no point sticking to that service, Mind you i was already having a bad day . Then i hesitantly went for Wateen. I got my connection installed in 3 days which was poor but i have had no problems with the service at all. I use it for gaming and video streaming and its perfect, giving me download speeds of around 120 kbps. I wasnt expecting a quality service from Wateen since it has a bad reputation but for me they have provided a good internet service. They just need to increase there connection speeds to match with PTCL but only if they dont downgrade their service.

psyched , hey i just wanted to ask u a question man…. im in township as well in sector A-1 . Ive got the Wateen Wiimax set up … but i get shit internet even when the signal being shown is 4/5 … Does an outdoor unit help so much ?

My experience with PTCL, like most of you has been horrific.First I had EVO, which did’nt give me speed over 6 kbps. I had to throw it away! I then got PTCL’s DSL 1 mb connection, which I requested to be upgraded to a 4 mb one. 4 months have gone by eversince, but no upgradation! Of course I lodges various complaints, (about 100 registered with them) , but got a reply that ” uour problem will be solved within 24 hours” and even after 2,832 hours, no improvement. I have just terminated my DSL connection and feel releived. I wish to get a connection from Wateen. Could anyone advise my gatting any other ISP other than Wateen. I’ll be very grateful.

I have used wateen, speed wise its good but their billing sys and customer support are very poor if you ever faced any issue they take 7 – 8 days to solve it that’s why i have switched to witribe. i am using it from over 6 months its working perfect now i am going to test qubee their unlimited package seem to very attractive.

QUBEE sucks, rather their price plans are great but as of their (SO CALLED) unlimited 1MB package, they suck, they call 30GB (an unlimited FAIR USAGE POLICY), suck it QUBEE.
Don’t know about other providers, as far as QUBEE is concerned, should suggest everyone not to even think of QUBEE if you are MAD-DOWNLOADER, never go for it.

I know having limited bandwidth suck and there are always issues when you go above quota, but same holds true for wi tribe whereas wateen is an exception.

I’m using quebee for almost a month now and i’m really satisfied with the speed and there has been no downtime so far in my area ( Canal view ), although I know i have over shot my quota and next month i’m going for bigger package thanks to the youtube videos.

I cannot consider qubee shuttle althought it is unlimited but i cannot share it on my three laptops at home.

during the last three years wateen has never delivered it for me and thus i am really stuck with qubee for now unless they have issues in their service, BTW for mad downloading I use PTCL EVO stick which has suddenly started giving good speed while it used to really really suck in October.

wi tribe is much better then any of the other wi max internet service providers in pakistan wi tribe is not makeing lies to the customers
wi tribe is providing extra 5 gb in just 99 rs with no hidden chages
qubee is probiding 0.11 Rs per MB quals to 111 Rs Per Gb

wateen connection call mansoor 03234482927.

its been 15 days i am using Wi tribe. Its up time is 100%. the only issue i am facing is its limited volume. Its stable, always up and their customer service is also good. I was using PTCL dsl for more than a year. My experience of Wi tribe is good. I m in Green Town Lahore
Luckily their tower is near my house, may be that’s the reason of good speed.

Dear Danish,
In Wi-tribe If you can get 5GB extra in Rs. 100, Its same in QUBEE, if you cross your limit and you call QUBEE customer center and change your plan then you get 6GB in Rs. 100/- , For example If you had 12GB package on 512Kbps(Rs. 900 Per Month) , and You change your plan to 18GB on 512Kbps(Rs. 1000 Per Month) Remaining days will be charged on it’s average. So conclusion Wi-tribe is not offering anything out of the world.

Luckily their tower is near my house, may be that’s the reason of good speed.

I was Wi-Tribe costumer….. but their bills suks…. now i am using QUBEE unlimited @ 1000/- with the speed of 512kbs,,, and i am happy with QUBEE.

i’m using Qubee (shuttle device) and its great.signal strength 100% in Alpha Society and speed is truely 1 Mb

Signals and connecitivity was bad in december 2010 in Canal View Society, but has improved in January 2010. Speed wise it is good, i get consistant speed but I wish they come up with unlimited package with out shuttle.

true if you realy are a MAD DOWNLOADER. but for normal use qubee is great. I just shifted from wateen bcz wateen sucks big time. its speed is not constant and you may not even be able to open “google” at times. But I’ve noticed that this isn’t the case with qubee. Qubee gives you good, consistant speed which makes it much more reliable than wateen

here is my experience:
wi tribe works good in iqbal town lahore and in islamabad. wateen is not good in islamabad g 11, and wi tribe does not work in g 13. but other wise, in most areas of ibd and lahore, wi tribe is the best!

Qubee these days is slow like a snail in my area, plus it get’s disconnected as well occassionally

Dear,

I am using the PTCl Evo in the area near to canal that is Cemb, The quality is average, some it is very good, but on the other hand it may touches zero download. But the singal are full. What it may need is constant quality, what they claim, 200-300. But infact they can not maintain the standard. PTCL should work on the quality.

Khan, CEMB

I am using PTCL for over a year, N i am very much fed up with disconnections, All they say it that they’r gonna fix it within 24 hours and (PTCL call karney ka shokraya). But they don’t fix it though. Now i am thinking of getting Qubee or WI-Tribe but very much sunk in the discussions of which one is better Just heard that the Qubee Tower is new my home(Muslim Town, RWP).
If u guys think Wi-tribe is better, plz let me know!
TNx

Samim,

I’m a qubee user and I have PTCL EVO as backup. So far qubee is OK in my area, speed is slower than it used to be earlier but no disconnections ( with exception of couple of incidents per week ). Plus it’s not a big risk, I’m also thinking of trying wi-tribe as well in my area to see hot it works.

BTW I’m in canal view area and PTCL EVO gives me 250kb while downloading movies on P2P.

U MUST TRY QUBEE

totally feel your pain and btw does wateen have 4mb? in sialkot for how much?

I have used QUBEE for year, in the start it worked gr8, now you can’t see a youtube video without any buffering, so their services are slow. Now trying wi-tribe, their Customer service is good, but same goes here for the first month its gr8 and now its slow, on the weeekends DAMN SLOW.

I think Wateen is still doing the best.

I have started using Qubee in July. One thing I was promised that the range would be 30 meters, I tested this after my laptop was repaired.  I could not access Internet a short distance from the ‘Modem’. When the Qubee technician came to fix this problem. He said that my laptop will not be able to access the Internet beyond the floor it is on. So the 30 meter range was bogus.  Even on the same floor – when I take my laptop two rooms away Internet access ends. I was told to buy an additional router to have complete access anywhere in the house

qubee is best in rwp. but wateen and wi-tribe r also getting shuttle devices like qubee, these devices r best in the markeet.

take qubee its awesome
