A recent PTA report highlights that the surge in VPN usage during internet disruptions is a significant cause of slow internet speeds in Pakistan. VPN traffic bypasses local content delivery networks (CDNs), which account for 70% of the country's internet services, leading to inefficiencies and increased strain on the infrastructure. This not only causes slower speeds but also results in economic losses, with each megabyte of VPN data costing about $1. The report urges a strategy to manage VPN usage and improve local infrastructure to reduce operational and financial impacts. Pakistan's recent ranking in internet speed remains poor, exacerbating issues for businesses, education, and healthcare. #VPNUsage #InternetSlowdown #PTAReport #PakistanTech #CDN #DigitalInfrastructure

For years, businesses in Pakistan have faced real challenges managing their data. Whether it was a fast-growing startup or an established enterprise, teams often had to rely on international cloud services that brought more problems than solutions. From high cloud hosting costs, slow response times, and compliance issues to the lack of local support the need for a reliable, locally managed cloud database was urgent. That’s exactly the problem Nayatel set out to solve. Known for its reliable Fiber internet and growing footprint in cloud computing in Pakistan, Nayatel has partnered with global PostgreSQL experts Stormatics to launch the country’s first locally hosted PostgreSQL Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS). It’s a big leap forward for anyone looking for faster performance, lower latency, and affordable, secure data hosting right here in Pakistan. The launch was officially announced at a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signing ceremony held at Nayatel’s head office. Leaders from both organizations shared their commitment to building smarter, more secure cloud services in Pakistan. Nayatel’s Senior Manager Marketing shared that this partnership will help simplify database management in Pakistan, allowing businesses to focus on growth instead of worrying about infrastructure. This PostgreSQL hosting service is designed to handle everything for you from database provisioning to regular updates, backups, and performance tuning. Because the database is hosted locally, it offers better speed, stronger data privacy, and full compliance with local data laws. It’s ideal for SaaS platforms, ERPs, fintech, and eCommerce businesses that depend on real-time data and reliability. Businesses using Nayatel PostgreSQL get access to automated daily backups, point-in-time recovery, high availability with active failover, web-based management consoles, and TLS-secure connections. More advanced features include encryption at rest, load balancing, connection pooling, and audit logging. Plus, teams can opt for database migration services, performance optimization, and custom training all managed by local experts. This launch couldn’t have come at a better time. As demand for cloud infrastructure in Pakistan grows, local businesses finally have a homegrown solution that doesn’t compromise on performance or cost. Nayatel is proving that world-class managed database services can be delivered from within the country faster, cheaper, and with a deeper understanding of the local business environment.
