Sometimes, Paksitanis come across day where the internet is working absolutely slow. Yes, it can takes minutes for a single YouTube video to load and even then it runs on the lowest quality. Then there comes a time when, occasionally, some shark eats up the underwater cable and we are left with no internet. Similarly, we face server crashes at times too. Yesterday was such a time for the city, and people had to resort to using a VPN.
Yesterday, all the social apps were down (we all know why) and we didn’t know how to survive. The symbol of mobile data was showing as ‘4G’ but it was not even working at 2G speeds. This was also quite unexpected and people who were out the house were left with a lot of gaps in communication.
Pakistan and VPN Users
However, in such a time, if the internet itself is not being slow, then a VPN can be used. What it does is, it changes your virtual location to another place. This, in turn, lets you use your internet at full capacity, provided the location you switched to is within the same region. The people of Karachi found themselves using VPNs for the right reasons.
Yes, we usually do not associate VPNs with anything positive, but yesterday was one of the days when it was possible. Not only this, but a lot of people got to know about some of the best VPN services that are available in Pakistan. After the location was changed, they could continue to surf the internet at their ease, be it on Facebook, YouTube or Twitter.
Always Have Credit In Phone
It is also important to understand that VPNs consume more mobile data than usual. If you are using one to surf the social media, you might be using double the data that you would usually use. Thus, people really had two choices yesterday,
- Wait for the Internet Issues to Pass
- Pay more to be able to use more data
The nation that can survive a three year ban on YouTube, can survive anything.
Even the VPN companies must be thanking the people for employing their services for more than what people usually associate them with. Thus, it can be helpful to have a VPN application installed on your phone the next time such an internet connectivity issue happens, which can definitely happen.
