For those of you reading this post from within Pakistan know the problems associated with getting a broadband connection. A lot of services do not provide QoS (Quality of service) or any affordable package. Recently I got a shared DSL home 256k unlimited download package from maxcom. So far I have been using it for almost 2 months without any issues, check out the speedtest result for my connection:

The experience so far with maxcom has been really great, the installation was free and service downtime is virtually zero.
Some providers are providing download speeds upto 2 Mbps via ADSL connection, but almost all of them are volume based. Unlimited packages cross the affordibility line for the average Pakistani.
But the prospects are good, like the launch of country wide Wimax solution by wateen telecom, the prices should come within affordable reach even for 2Mbps connections
