PTCL is the giant of broadband internet in Pakistan and has the largest number of broadband users in the country. The underlying reason here is that while most internet companies focus only on the urban areas, PTCL provides internet to even semi-urban and rural areas along with introducing various kinds of PTCL internet packages and bundles. It offers both wired and wireless PTCL packages.
However, being a government entity there are processes that makes it different from private companies, major one being getting your postpaid internet connection closed. For whatever reason you want your internet connection to be disconnected permanently, you will have to write an application and submit it to the exchange or to One Stop Shop (OSS). The following items are needed for both broadband internet and postpaid wireless internet connection closure.
1) A written application (a sample provided below, you can download PTCL application as well)
2) PTCL Broadband/Evo device
3) CNIC copy of the person on whose name the device was issued
4) Copy of last month’s paid PTCL DSL bill
Once submitted, the application will be processed in 24 to 48 hours and in the next month’s bill you will get your final internet charges for the current month.
If you want to close the PTCL internet connection urgently, take all the required items listed above to your relevant PTCL OSS shop and request for urgent closure of your PTCL internet packages. A bill will be generated, based on how many days have passed in the current month, and you can pay the arrears right away to close the connection. This, however, may not be possible each time because the officer may refuse urgent closure for a variety of reasons including technical issues.
You can use the following written application as sample after making relevant changes based on your internet service:

Thank you for this article
PTCL sucks, Complaints of Frequent Disconnection never gets disclosed. They keep bugging you with automated calls for input weather the issue has been resolved , all day long. If the complaint keeps on going for a longer period of time they will just close the complaint even if the issue persists. When you ask for installing the DSL service they will come at home instantly but when you ask for removing the service they require you to visit their office with different documents. When you ask why the complaint has not been resolved they will tell you that we will let you know next time you call and this keeps on going for ever. If you abuse them on the call center they will call you back from a private number and abuse you back telling you to stop registering complaints and remove your connection if you have an issue. If you complain back about this abuse they will take the complain and take no action. They will even abuse elders at your home because you abused their service. They are leechers and i would suggest every Pakistani to stop using this service until they learn how to provide services. The only reason they have customers is that they offer low prices compared to other Private ISPs.
Totally Agreed
