    Back in the Instaphone days, I remember the code 0351 lol. I was very young then and had this obsession to remember phone numbers (I still remember the number though).

    lol. Tethering (edit: I mean "teething") problems. I once remember having an issue somewhat similar with Zong and my mum's number (it was a new number, but with a normal code, on Zong). Zong wouldn't connect to her phone but her phone would connect to Zong (or something like this - this was...

    Actually, both are usable for 5G. The question is whether they choose to use it or not (and whether the appropriate hardware is available for use by the customers). If you look at most high-end phones (and this is a very big if), you'll see they tend to accomodate numerous frequency bands from...

    Download/upload latency worsens when you're ACTIVELY using the network and saturating your link. If you use 4G, you'll see it's worse. It's even worse on 3G. Fiber still has much lower latency. I don't know what's normal, but in my experience, the download/upload latency WHILE the test is...

    Try overriding the DNS server. Since you're on Android, you can download various DNS changing apps and use Google DNS. See if that helps (it might, it might not).

    Does anyone with a Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 have wifi calling on Jazz? My mum's got that phone and it's not on her device (but thought of checking in here first before spamming 111).

    Depends. People around Pindi Isb get around 40ms. People around Lahore, I'm guessing, would get around 35ms. People around Karachi get around 20ms.

    Fiber ALWAYS has the lowest latency amongst all mediums. DSL can add anywhere between 10ms and 40ms (depending on fastpath and whatnot). Wireless (4G) can add about 15ms instead (but I know you're not using wireless). Wifi will probably add 1 or 2 ms extra (but that's not the point of your...

    Pixel 4, Zong and Jazz, carrier aggregation works. I would suppose the newer Pixels would work as well (no idea about VoLTE though)

    umm... I think you should have done your research on the load balancer BEFORE installing the VDSL lol. Also, no PTCL fiber in your area? You could have had two fiber connections come in, and the latencies would have been lower.

    It is free. Look at the discount: the bundle is free TV and Freedom package: Rs. 540 + 250 = 790 = the discount amount (above Total Service Charges)

    That's without taxes. As for taxes, depends on the city - they differ if you're in Islamabad, Punjab or somewhere else (not significantly, but they do). But see here: Taxes Applicable on PTCL Services

    I personally use Google DNS (I'm not on SF). It's because they support EDNS (so you get more location-specific responses), and the average response time of their DNS is faster. There are two things to this: you <--> server ping <--> server response time. Cloudflare has centers in Pakistan so...

    And that's my point. Why should a company lower their prices when they can earn more profit from you? You have to fight for your rights; they won't. Otherwise switch to the competition. Simple as that!

    Exactly. It benefits PTCL that people don't complain to them and that they keep overcharging. Most companies engage in these unethical practices; don't expect companies to look out for you - you should look out for yourselves. Shop around, be vigilant, and take action. If you take care of your...

    I know for some banks, you have to call in their call center and they "reset" it at their end. For others, you have to sms a specific number and then it gets "cleared". So if you're not receiving OTPs, call the helpline and make sure you tell them your number was ported, so they can give you the...

    Good point. Also, ensure that your wifi channel isn't congested, and where possible, use the 5Ghz band (less congestion) than 2.4Ghz. There's really no way of knowing exactly what your circumstances are given we don't live in your house... but it would be interesting to know whether your phone...

    Well, there's something that's blocking the network connection from your phone to the servers. That could be - your phone - your router - your ISP - the other end. What's in your control is your phone and, to a smaller extent, your router. Have you tried turning them off and on again, btw? lol.
