How does it work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

To avail YahClick<\/a> service in Pakistan the user would have to approach Supernet or ClickSat. A satellite dish and modem would be needed that can be placed to receive the signals, available at both upfront cost as well as on rent. A power backup would be best to deal with any power breakdown and keep the dish active to receive. The internet can only be availed through the modem of the dish, removing the need to have extensive infrastructure for service provision and no need to have so many wires in place.<\/p>\n

There are various plans available for the customers, from 2 Mbps speed to 7 Mbps speed, with varying data caps based on selected plan.<\/p>\n
