I wonder how they started phasing out 3G at smaller stations and not at mass urban cities like Karachi, Lahore and Faisalabad where they badly need more spectrum for 4g services.
Yes I am strongly agree with U ....jazz cover first big city but I thank ,in big city jazz has no so much customer's ,big city customers are educated and know about quality of service and jazz not meet criteria quality of service...it's my opinion...

Honestly, I’m not feeling optimistic. I don't know why you guys are expecting so much from this merger. With the telecom market already saturated with high tariffs and lackluster service, I doubt this merger will bring the innovation or quality that you all are hoping for. Don't forget these Pakistani companies just look good on paper, they will always prioritize profits over providing quality service.

I think ufone and telenor already lost customers due to coverage and speed ,jazz and zong already gain customer.every customers have 2 or 3 SIMs of these net work . everyone has 1 SIM jazz ,one SIM zong and one SIM telenor ,,after merger real comptition will start on quality of service.which company will provide best service they will gain more profit .....

Wait, who's saying we're expecting so much from the merger?

TBH, two crap networks (this is subjective, apologies if I've offended you... NOT!) merging can either become stronger if they pool in their resources properly, or it'll remain status quo.

For example, Sprint/T-Mobile US: they now have the fastest data network for the average person (Verizon only scores higher in their mmwave areas, and the coverage for that is fickle). Sprint and T-Mo both had coverage holes (but then, this is the US where the landmass is massive), and Sprint had speed issues as well

In the UK, you had Orange and T-Mobile merging. Biggest and generally considered the most stable and reliable network. Not sure how they were before the merger, but I suppose there's a reason why Vodafone has remained in second place even after all these years (and Vodafone, apparently, isn't bad... it's just that EE is much better).

If Ufone/Telenor opt to use a vendor to properly manage their network, they could actually have a decent chance. Ufone's generally got decent coverage (but their voice can be choppy once it falls down to 2G). Telenor has a lot of widespread coverage, Ufone has dense coverage in pockets. Ignore the spectrum holdings for now, but if they pool in their resources, they could actually have a good network.

Do I trust them to do it? Hell naw! Like many Pakistani things, it'll be half-assed because people love shortcuts. This is why Jazz is still more consistent - they have fewer half-assing going on. Zong is just lazy when it comes to developing their network.

After Jazz phased out 3G. 4G is working on 900MHz(8) band it's hardly giving 1-3mbps speed. Can I expect more speed from this band if I complain to them? Or it's maximum speed of band 8?
It's possible that band is choked because there are a lot of users on the band. Not saying they're all simultaneously using it, but that is very much a possibility. The signal stats are alright though.

It's also possible that the back-end is choked and that's something only they can resolve. You could try complaining to them.

It's also possible (lol) that while your signal strength are fine, the amount of distortion between you and the antenna is higher - or there's some other type of interference - which can affect the signal. No way of knowing about the presence of this invisible monster, so... try complaining.

    To be honest, the 5XXX series is about to launch soon. So if anyone is planning to buy a GPU, i think waiting a bit for the next generation is a better idea.

    this new JRPG Metaphor: ReFantazio looks like my kind of stuff in terms of story/themes and world-building. Didn't know of its existence until today and I don't like/play turn-based games but I might make an exception here - as I did for Persona 5 which is a goat and looks/plays similar to this one.

    this is govt's and not Microsoft's problem, of course. but it does make our market unfriendly for global digital businesses and consumers, which partly explains why Sony and Ninty stay away. a full-priced game would be significantly more expensive here digitally than its physical counterpart that comes to us from more cost-effective markets and channels (such as imports from UAE).

    which reminds me of extra international transaction charges, WHT, conversion charges, duty, etc etc. so yeah, you get looted that way too.

    now that I think about it, maybe I should get a USD Payooner card for that purpose. but then, I don't buy or play much and the card has a fee. And you'd have to have USD balance in Payoneer of course, which prolly wouldn't be feasible if u somehow transfer PKR to it. It's an option for me cuz I get paid in USD there.

    Finally saw Deadpool & Wolverine. Very overrated movie. I don't get what the commotion is all about. It was full of cringe humor & gay jokes. Also the whole multiverse thing is getting really lame now. It was fine the first time. Ok the second time. But now they've milked the jugs out of this concept. I know Marvel is desperate, but they need to come up with some original ideas if they want to stay in business. It's been a while since we've had a good superhero movie...
    lol from all the clips I saw of deadpool on youtube shorts, I got the same idea about deadpool. Overacting and cringe.
