Wateen user experience
Technology, awahid, life September 26th, 2008
Wateen is a company which deals with telephony, mobile, cable TV and internet services. I connect to the world of internet through Wateen. Today I had a bad experience with wateen. I try to call various times to the support but I was not able to talk to the support person, my call always get dropped in the middle. After an hour I finally made it to wateen support person and he told me that my username got stuck … Damn … I asked How did it happen? and he replied you did not logout properly.
Come on wateen try to facilitate your customers, handle the exceptions in your system. There are some cases in which user cannot logout properly “eg: electricity shutdown [common problem in Pakistan], accidental plug out of the network cable, browser close”.
I assume if user does not logout properly than his process might not be terminated on server. When user tries to reconnect, the system does not allow him as his process was already running. Well if this is the case than my dear wateen please implement a simple ping or terminate the user process if there is no activity from the user after certain period of time.
I had emailed my opinion to wateen and hope this problem would be conquered in near futures.

Hey, I am also a Wateen user!
My only issue with them…my 4 GB download limit gets used up too soon and then I have to pay so dearly for every 100 MB and THEY ARE NOT UPGRADING THE PACKAGES!! Aab ghalti hoo hee gaiyee 4 GB leenay ki tu theek bhee karnay doo yeh ghalti!!

I also have that 4GB package …
I might have to upgrade as well…
I use a lot as well. Life without internet is like tea without sugar

hey
I was wondering, what makes someone a good photographer?
I think you are one of course.
You capture things many can’t even see ..
i would really appreciate it if you look through my photography album because i have no idea whatsoever whether my pics are good or not, and i would love to have a profesional opinion on them
Whenever you’re free , browse through – http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=78122&l=33cf4&id=648972488

Thanks for your time!

What else would I need when I have Wimax Wireless connection service?
Something I came across today…Dec.8th, 2008, Wateen is offering Wimax , wireless connection , with downloading and surfing absolutely free of cost and a gift Wcard, calling card for local and international calls, free as well as a special Eid holiday package …well, what else would In need?? I registered myself for Wimax right away, for the limited time offer, from Dec.8-10, 2008. I feel that such offers come one in a while. I figured that I received 50% extra minutes in the Wcard as well…not bad at all!! The only thing I needed now a coffee cup with the high speed device Wimax wireless connection and some of my notes to complete all my left over work at my couch near my balcony….guess what…Wateen Wimax did a great job to complete my surfing needs…for the bored times…and a Wcard to keep me busy for the Eid Mubarak phone calls to my relatives.

@sahayana Thanks for the info bro and enjoy wateen
. I am not against wateen I just told my experience.
December 16th, 2008 at 7:40 am
@awahid I agree to you; but now it is far improved. I talk to few Wateen personals in a conference and asked for their efforts to improve service. They said, Wateen is one of it’s own kind in Pakistan ;with deployment of largest WiMax facility in Asia.. and as the issues appeared we are coping up with them. The rates are revised and customized according to user feasibility. Hope this time you will have good response from customer service staff. And if you play CS, join us on Wateen Server
Don’t miss the important thing, Calls from wateen to wateen are free for life.
December 17th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Wateen’s customer support is worst, with every call and email they generate a new ticket and later closed it without solving problem, when I contacted them about it, they issued another ticket. My account is closed from last 2 weeks, I have called support, sent emails and visited karachi office many many times but they could not solve a simple billing mistake.

Wateen record hit broadband market causing Etisalat(PTCL) to rollback its broadband infrastructure from pakistan.
January 29th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Well first i m a Software engr. second i have been using Wateen since november no doubt i got good service and now i can say there customers service is way better bcz due to poor services they fired so many ppl of there CR’s now after dat they improved there services and wateen has v. cheapest and good serivce..if u dont download any movie .. through torrent..5 GB yeah they added up now 1 GB Extra. is far enough..
and secondly if u use PTCL 512KBS cost =1200+175(line rent)= 1375 yes..its expensive and as compare this wateen is charging 820rs. for 512 with 5 GB Limit…thanks

Hello……
I am a college student and using Wateen. initially it was a bad service but now it has improved more ….. And speed is very fast
July 23rd, 2009 at 7:57 am
I would agree that wateen had improved and I am looking forward for more exciting packages from wateen.
August 8th, 2009 at 6:01 am
@awahid,
I am expecting more packages from Wateen only b/c of reliable service and good speed as well. Always hope for some thing new and best

Wateen has announced a new package, 1Mbps for 699 Rs. Please visit http://www.wateen.com for more details
September 10th, 2009 at 5:09 am
Wateen is a crap! DONT USE WATEEN!! Trust me, if you buy a limited package and keep your device shut the entire day, you would see 3GB Consumed!! They are TOTAL MORAL LESS THIEFS! Its that way that they FORCE you to enter unlimited package with them and even when you do, that thiefry wouldn’t let your speed reach its apex!
USE WATEEN AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Abdul, I have been using Wateen for more then 2 years now, it sucked earlier but now its alrite. They have an edge of being a WiMax service, which is the only true 4G technology so far.
Try their usb now, its marvellous, and I feel really connected even if I am on the move.
The only place where they lack is their coverage, which needs to be spread more!

Wateen USB. Crap Service. Even can’t browse a website, spare the downloading. Franchise are of no use. For all things, need to visit the business unit which is too far away. Crap N Crap services. I have 1 MB unlimited.
June 24th, 2010 at 12:55 pm
Yes Wateen was use to be good but with the passage of time it is getting worst. Customer service people are rude and instead of solving the problem they advised to get the connection closed. I am using 1Mbps with 5GB download package. Although the package cost is Rs. 699/- p.m. but the total cost I am paying is Rs. 918 p.m. I suggested to all that don’t go for wateen.
