میری آج اک انجینئر دوست جو کے زونگ میں ہیں بتا رہے ہیں کہ زونگ پورے پاکستان میں جلد 4.5 جی شروع کردے گا جنوری میں پورے پاکستان میں شروع ہوجاۓ گی ابھی بکھر اور میانوالی میں ٹیسٹ بنیادپرشر

In rural KP, where previously one could only get Jazz 900 MHz 2G, they have refarmed some of it for 3G.

Speed is like 2-3 Mbps on speed test, but compared to 2G, it works perfectly. Just the right amount of speed you need to stay connected without getting frustrated that it takes 30+ seconds for one WhatsApp message to send.

Has very good and stable indoor coverage as well with occasional fallbacks to 2G that can be avoided by forcing the phone to 3G only mode.

Also noticed that Bani Gala, Barakahu, PN Farms, Bahria Enclave and other surrounding areas of Islamabad are still on 15 MHz of B3 for LTE whereas within Islamabad, the beginning of the motorway and the Airport all have B3 (20 MHz) + B8 (3 MHz) CA for LTE.

With all that being said, Jazz really needs to consider shutting off 2G in big cities, or at least certain parts of big cities, or leave it running on any excess 1800 MHz spectrum that is too small to be used for LTE.
900 MHz is being wasted on 2G.

I don't get why Jazz is not upgrading the other cities with CA. How long has it been since they launched it?

That said, Zong has started deploying CA at more sites in Pindi (in Gulrez, yes, but not in Bahria where I live... Or I wasn't able to get it to work at my end).

Bonkers.

Jazz has upgraded its 4G to 20 MHz in Faisalabad and Multan, but no CA available across the cities. Reportedly Zong has lanched CA 4G+ in Multan with 20 MHz of Band 3 and 5 MHz band 1. Problem with Zong is that they do not have 900 MHz spectrum now due to some fault. They have swaped it with 6 MHz in 1800 MHz block. Their almost 50% customers are on 4G now so they are utilising their best resources for 4G.

Zong has begun to deploy CA in Rawalpindi (I see it in Gulrez, DHA 1 and near Giga Mall... Although they only have edge in Giga Mall) and Islamabad (just tested Blue Area, and my phone says so).

Haven't tested it as such, but will try to in a bit.

Anyone knows what Telenor is doing? It is still on 5 MHz band 5 in Faisalabad and Multan. And it still buffers on 480p YouTube videos.

@shah95 It happened to me hundreds of times, complain several times, but they never solved the problem.

1. I have never use the mobile data. But they still charged me. They said you are using the mobile data, so it is charging.

I receive every day 3 or 4 message. Very annoying. Then I activated the weekly net package. I only activated to get rid of that shit message. Never use the net package. But keep getting these messages.

I complain. Their answer is (in your mobile multiple application are using the mobile data. That is why there is an additional charge.

Scamming with million of people. Few months before, on Twitter someone raised this problem. Jazz are still doing this.

2600 Mhz is not common in 4G. 2300 MHz is more common

Sent from my SM-A505F using Tapatalk
2600 MHz (B7) is very common.

Almost every carrier in Middle East and Europe uses Band 7.

2300 MHz is only used for TD-LTE, not FDD-LTE which is used currently by all local telcos.

TDD LTE is best for urban use, best when used as CA with FDD LTE. Band 40 is also supported by all 4G phoned.

Not sure if you can see this, but in a Nokia 7.1, it shows the bandwidth. Also, note how it says LTE-A against Jazz, and only LTE on Zong.

I don't think the phone would enable LTE-A on both SIMs at the same time, especially if mobile data wasn't being used on the Zong SIM.

Try setting the Jazz SIM to 3G mode and then enabling data on Zong to see if it enables LTE-A.

Also, what happened to your Pixel?
