Now Onic is going to be big flop
They could have easily capitalized on the cost factor, I got my sim and guess what cant even get 4g signals in my house its constantly showing 3G.

Even if they have kept package price at 70% of competition it was still worthy of trying as a second sim. Not with these rates

Same here. I live in Faisalabad city and there is no 4G coevrage in my area. I only get 2 bars of 4G at my rooftop. But according to their website coverage map our area is fully covered with 4G. When I complain about coverage, they said sorry 4G coverage is not available in your area, we are rolling it in phases and soon we will make it available for all. And they are saying this from past 3 years. If you can't cover urban area of 3rd largest city with your 4G, AAP KA KUCH NAHIN HO SAKTA.
why would I like to spend 900 Rupees for 3G.

Same with PTCL in Islamabad sector like F-10 no ufone 4G. How can their higher management think of success when the end product is shyte. They can give 1000gb data in Rs 100 nut whats the point ?

Same was with PTCL despite exchange being 2 Km from my home it took them 7 years to lay fiber, till them every household has already installed nayatell phir PTCL wale bheek mangte phir rahe thee k sir lagwa lain humari speed behtareen hai.

PTCL in all over Fsd now has Fiber till every poll. But they still installed copper connection DPs and providing only copper wire connection in 99% of area. When you have fiber till pols, why the hell can't you provide FTTH connection. Resultantly every one got Nayatel or Stormfiber connection. 7 years ago every one in our street had PTCL but now all have Nayatel connections. And PTCL lost 80-90% connections in the city by the hands of nayatel and Stormfiber in past 5 years.

Clearly they don't know what ESIMs are lol. It's a QR code that's connected to a backend system. How you can run out of QR codes for a single individual number is beyond me.

That's like saying they've run out of QR codes for each roll number of each student in a school.

But anyway, this is Pakistan.



The PSID you get from PTA can be used to make a payment to FBR (basically, look for FBR on your app).
PSID payment of PTA tax is blocked from all mobile banking chanels. You need to visit E-Sahulat franchise

Zong esims are back. Just got one.
For PSID payments use bank alfalah or if u have alfa app with a bank account then only u can make payment. No credit cards allowed.

Do they have to upgrade every mobile tower for this or what?
It's usually a software switch at the network side because the radiowaves are there - it's a matter of letting the phone know aggregation is possible, and ensuring that the network supports aggregation to the nth value.

Also, I wonder how much spectrum has been allocated because right now, it's showing 20+5 - meaning it's skipping the bandwidth of one of the three carriers altogether in the screenshot.

Its 20+10+5. 20 in band 3, 10 in band 1 and 5 in band 8

I wish Telenor and Ufone merge into one company. They are struggling with coverage and speed. With their combined spectrum and coverage they can counter these problems.
Combined they can launch 40 MHz 3 way CA 4G+ with 20(band 3) + 10(band 1) + 10 (band 8).
10 MHz DC-HSPA+ on band 5
And 2G on remaining band 3 and 8.
And we will see 3 strong companies competition

    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.

    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.
    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.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    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.

    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.
    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.

    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.

    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.
