[Tech Review] Optix is the Most Pathetic ISP in Pakistan

An honest, experience-based review of Optix Pakistan’s fiber internet—covering speeds, outages, support issues, and how it compares to other ISPs in 2025.

I don’t evaluate internet service providers in Pakistan from a place of novelty or short-term frustration.
I come from the dial-up era—when getting online meant listening to modem tones, timing connections around phone calls, and praying the line wouldn’t drop midway.

I grew up using PakTel, Brain, and Cybernet, when an Instacall connection felt revolutionary. Since then, the internet hasn’t been optional for me; it has been core infrastructure—for work, business operations, publishing, coordination, and cloud-based systems.

Over the years, I have personally used PTCL (copper), PTCL EVO, PTCL CharJi, Wateen, WorldCall, Qubee, Nayatel, Optix, and Transworld—often not as short trials, but as long-term, daily-use connections.

The only major providers I have not personally used are StormFiber and PTCL GPON. When I reference them, I rely strictly on benchmark data and aggregated user feedback—not firsthand claims.

This history matters. And I have a history of scoring 100% in CCNET in my course at GIKI while perusing Electronic Engineering. Because my assessment of Optix Pakistan is not based on a bad week, a single outage, or social-media noise. It’s based on decades of comparative exposure to how ISPs in Pakistan behave—when things work, and more importantly, when they don’t.
