HHHAAHHAHAhahahahahhahHAHAHAHHAHHAHHHAHAHAhahahahahhaahahahhahahah They just copied the full PTA statement, did a little editing and then posted it !!! #COPY&PASTEZINDABAD
if the statement is composed properly and as per the standards of journalism its a usual practice to carry it without many changes. Perhaps its a similar case.Even newspapers published it without much editing.
That’s waht we call News! What’s wrong in it? Did she copy any copyright material for which you are curious?
Kia is 3g ki speed ptcl evo 3g 9.3 mbps jesi ho gi?
Not at all PTCL time is now going to be end soon
yes 3G/4G any kay bad to koi PTCL ko puchay ga bhe nahe !!! jis tarah yeh PTCL walay apny he customers ko rulatay hian , complaine karo to koi ata nhe ,, inka to bht bura haal hoga , inshALLAH yeh loog road py ajengay !!
I don’t think so it’ll going to happen so early! It will take time for people to start using 3G Mobile Internet due to the factors such as cost,3g hardaware,etc. In my opinion it will take almost one year or so to be able to affect PTCL’s customer base (both Broad Band and EVDO)
A lot of people have the phones to do 3G. My wife’s phone from 2008 had 3G and back then it cost only Rs 16,000 and was NOT the cheapest 3G phone. The only question is tariff.
Bohat fast hogi
Nahi bilkul nahi 3G standard ki stages hain. initial stage 400Kbps se start ho k ending stage 168Mbps tk ja skti hai..like 400kbps max then 7Mbps max then 14Mbps max, ye sb stages hain. 100Mbps se uper speed walay network ko 4G keh skty hain. So kya tumhain lgta hai k telecom operator 400kbps wali stage se uper wali class offer karega to definitely 9.3 jesi ho skti hai.. vo sb bhi network load per depend karta hai.. so don’t expect as much it as you expect from a broadband.. EDGE se 3G per ja kr we will just get better not the best.. though it may take time to get best. Totally depends on network operators which class they implement.
yup. u r right. 3G, HSPA then HSPA+, that is nearly equal to 4g LTE.
Intial class of 3G is not 3G, 3G is a standard itself of these mentioned classes. First is called UMTS or WCDMA
lets c what we get..

ptcl zindabad
High speed data with High speed Prices :-P
Stupid People should be getting ready for 4G not 3G. Lazy Ministers.
Which stupid people? The ministers have made it a FREQUENCY AUCTION, not 3G auction. Meaning if some company like Telenor wants to deploy 4G instead of 3G, they can.
Once 3G come i will show my D*ck To PTCL and ITS Fucken Internet
Latency on PTCL is much much better than any 3G/4G solution.
When we would do something we would order and when we won’t we would constitute a committee. Qudratullah Shahab.
We Want Vodafone Or T Mobile Or O2 In Pakistan
Price of the smart phone is one thing the other 3g charges monthly
if 3g comes its good but not unlimited its use quota like 1gb to 10gb and will b expensive like 1gb they offer customer Rs.500 so keep it in mind
