Actually it would have quite reasonable if it were only for 500 rupees but on checking up on the guys @ Netsol the other I found out there was a catch. According to their Buisness Development Manager Zulfiqar, along with the 500 rupees per month, the domestic users would have to pay 7000 rupees as installation charges(non-refundable) and 5000 rupees as security deposit (refundable). So yeah, I agree it's really quite expensive.
I wonder what Telecard is offering? Starting to give up on the future of dial-up in this country..
