The call connection time is probably done in ideal conditions, since Jazz usually takes significantly longer than that for me.

Just today I was in Builders Mall on GT Road, the 3G signal was poor, and it took over 8 seconds for the call to connect. Dropped to 2G halfway through and as expected, the quality was terrible.
Which phone are you using? I have the Pixel 2, and touch wood, it's been decent almost every time (except for a few random instances).

Galaxy Note 9.

It happens on every phone but only with crappy signal strength.

When the signals are okay, and it stays on 3G, then the call connection time and call quality are both fine, but when 3G is poor and it drops to 2G, connection time is annoyingly high, and call quality sucks.

I see the two screenshots appear to be taken around the same time. And given the signal strength, CA performs very well.

But why on Earth I couldn't get it to work at my home, beats me. I'll try sometime at work.

Jazz 4G in my bedroom. I used to get 40Mbps down and 22 Mbps uplink speed when Jazz upgraded to 15 MHz with same signal strenth. And Jazz doesn't have heavy MBB data users like Zong.

Zong 4G.
Jail Road Lahore.

I guess I got access to such high speed as it was off-peak time. Still a decent job.

Jazz 4G vs Zong 4G in my office. Upload speed is shit by both companies. But still Zong performs better in downloads.

Is there a way to boost signals in your house? My house (and the few surrounding it) has a very weird issue where we keep switching between 2 to 3 different towers. One of them is decent and let's us connect to 4G but only gives 1 line signal. The other towers only give 3G and suck tits (no access even when connected).

How do I improve the signal strength?

Same issue for other networks. And texts are usually delayed (on on the 3G tower) and callers hear the 'matlooba number se raabta mumkin nhi' message. 4G one is ok.

Signal boosters are really expensive (300+ euros) and would be a pain in the ass to get imported here due to customs.

SMS delay issue is common here in Wah Cantt also even with google signal strength.

Disappointing number of off-net mins, especially considering Jazz has the worst calling rates ever.
still it is very good deal, for a month you are getting 20gb data and 250 other network minutes, in 1250 but you have to renew it every week, which may be a pain in the Ass

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
