Have been using Jazz 4G device since 6 months, but charged Zong device this month. I have to say very pathetic only getting 2-3mbps speed.
Jazz on the other hand is also degraded but still gives 8-10mbps. This is at Bahawalpur. Zong speed came back after 1.30am 15-20mbps.
Ive noticed Zong using Band 1 for its 4G now in BWP instead of band 3 6 months ago.

If you're able to get the signals aggregated, then your speeds should be significantly better (in most cases).

Full bars don't always guarantee best speeds.
Think of it this way: your car can have it's tank full with petrol (full signals), but if the petrol quality is crap (signal quality), you won't get good mileage.
But if your car, for e.g., is hybrid, you can sometimes supplement the battery power to get better speeds (carrier aggregation).
It's apples to oranges, but carrier aggregation is when the device "joins" two different signals and bands for improved stability. Without it, speeds can be significantly slower. With it, you can sometimes get a big boost even on weak signal strength

Since he is using MBB device, which I am 99% sure does not support CA, he can not get good speed on Zong. To use 4G+ services, he needs to insert sim in CA supported device, which only can be a latest smartphone.

From its modem/chipset. Since MBB devices are cheaper, they do not support CA. Smartphone on the other hand does.

According to Aamir Ata, Ufone and Telenor rumoured to be in an early stage of merger talks. And Zong is not interested to acquire Ufone due to some reasons.
In my opinion, Telenor-Ufone merger will not help either of the company. Reason? Both companies are facing decline in Voice revenue and very slow growth in Data revenue, since data revenue is future of Telecom business, merged company will still face data revenue issue.
On the other hand, if Zong and Ufone get a merger, it will help both the companies. Zong has very strong growth in data revenue and Ufone has somewhat stable voice revenue (Super Card wali awaam). Moreover Zong has deep pockets to invest after merger, which Telenor doesn't due to its struggling overall International Business. They have sold India business and finding a buyer in Malysia as well. Pakistan business is also reporting negative growth since past two quarters.

Telenor should not leave pakistan, it would end the market competition and innovative growth, currently I find Telenor to be most optimized network of all,
but they need to address their customer services problems

They are not leaving. Its Ufone which is going to be merged with Telenor or Zong.

Seems like PTA has forgotten to update this page, hasn't been touched since November 2019.

Oooooooooooof I don't wanna imagine the PTA duty on that.
Also, is it CA or 900 MHz being run separately?
Don't. Lol
I don't know. My mum's phone had it running separately. My phone doesn't want to carrier aggregate since February, so I'm waiting for the March update to fix it.
My phone had it on 900Mhz as well though... Just not aggregated.

Not for the past several days, I've noted. My phone tends to sick to 2100Mhz more than 900Mhz for 3G.

Okay, this is carrier aggregation - in several parts of Pindi and even in Phase 8, but not near my place (most likely because of the interference?). 25Mhz combined.

And 3G is on 2100Mhz only (since you need 5Mhz for 3G, and the aggregated 4G is 20+5Mhz, so it's either this or that... And while I don't care much about 4G at my place - even though it's plenty fast at crap signals - I'm glad I can make calls in case of an emergency).

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

L LegacyGamerGuy: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.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy:Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

L LegacyGamerGuy:As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

L LegacyGamerGuy:Gradually transitioning from console gaming to PC as the games are not worth it. 6 hours of Hellblade 2 is just not worth the $50 price tag.

L LegacyGamerGuy: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.

L LegacyGamerGuy:Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

L LegacyGamerGuy: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.
-
L LegacyGamerGuy: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.
