What is Nayatel?
Nayatel is a fiber-to-the-home provider that built its reputation in the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Because the fiber runs all the way into the home, speeds do not fall with distance the way DSL does, and upload speeds are much higher than on copper connections.

What speed should I get on Nayatel?
On a wired connection, results close to the package speed are normal. If you only see low speed on WiFi, the router or its placement is the usual cause rather than the fiber line.
Your package speed is the maximum. A fair test is on a LAN cable at a quiet time. If you consistently get far less, collect screenshots of at least three results on different days before complaining.
Why is Nayatel slow? Common problems and fixes
| Symptom | Likely cause and fix |
|---|---|
| Fast on cable, slow on WiFi | Router placement or the 2.4 GHz band. Use 5 GHz or add a mesh unit. |
| Red LOS light on the ONT | Fiber signal lost — a cut or bent cable. Do not bend the fiber patch cord; call support. |
| International sites slow, local fine | Usually an upstream international link issue affecting many ISPs at once. |
