By increasing our investments we are quite hopeful that our quality of services will further be enhanced to provide best telecom services to our valuable customersā, Mr. Malik concluded.
Wrong. Their mentioned 4G cell sites are under testing phase and not available for customers. In Faisalabad i am getting signals of 4G while network search at many areas where previously 4G was not available but those 4G signal cannot be connected to mobile even if I turn 4G only
For 4g u need to have a 4g enabled sim.
Btw i second ur comment u r getting full 4g speed in just khi/lhr/isb thats it other cities are not provided full bandwidth.
I know and I am very much getting 4G services in Faisalabad. But I am talking about those areas of the city where 4G coverage wasn’t available earlier as cities like Karachi, Lahore and Faisalabad are not easy to cover fully at once due to their size.
Pathetic.. Wrong.. I dont even get 2G signals at my home where I get full Mobilink 3G signals
Mobilink is good is some areas but worse in some areas like poor speed and no 3g signals.Where as zong is stable in almost all areas wherever i go it works well without giving any problem.
mobilink is mostly worst, zong is consistent, that’s what I want, I dun want cheap data on which I can torrent all day
same for me but it doesn’t work at my home so its useless for me if I am missing my important calls and sms..
complain, it will solve
LOL complaining it since a year now.. they visited my home in December 2014 and they said that a new site is planned since then.. its been 10 months now (Complain was before that as well) .. pathetic customer service.. on the other hand I complained telenor as well for coverage and the issue was resolved within 72 hours.. ZONG dont bother to do anything
well you are right, I don’t trust them with customer services, they sucks big time in that department. and they need to improve otherwise people will shift
wrong and Niaz is big lair. ZTE is their core vendor and expecting quality from Zong is really a joke. Why china mobile (zong) has chosen Ericsson in china and Hong Kong for LTE and zte for Pakistan. They are treating us as forth world country.
because of TD-LTE
They are not treating us forth world, if they wanted to, they wouldn’t have paid highest of all telecos in spectrum fees
and btw stop spreading misconceptions
ZONG 4G LTE speed test Karachi
ita getting better in khi XDD
In Multan
Zong is best then to other networks.its providing best best speed and strong signal I am using zong 4g mifi.
on mifi devices its limited to 20mbps. How on earth you are getting 50mbps.
screenshot bhi lagadia ub kia karay vo bechaara..log kisi haal mei khush nahi hotay..yaad hay vo 1mbps ka zamana! thanks to nawaz government..
I am getting an average of 30 MB on my zong device too. Who told you its limited?
I got 61Mbps on ZONG MIFI dude.. :P its not limited at all :P
I Agree Zong is awesome its 3g speed is even better than ufone, mobilink and telenor.
Zong 3g Is Worst In Multan ^
So almost 7 Mbps Speed is worst ?? why don’t you try ufone where o don’t get over 1 mbps and telenor and mobilink gives you maximum of 2 mbps speed in most places.
I get aeverage 15 MBps on ZonG 3G
Dear Sir Pls Launch Zong 3G and 4G LTE service in our Vehari city and Pakkhi More areas ( zila vehari) Hum Boht Bechani sy Zong 3G/4GLTE service ka apny Areas me anay ka wait kar rahin ha and i request to you jald sy jald service poncha dain Thank you
Heres the speed my friend is getting in Lahore UET. Worst area and still amazing speed.
Zong is one of the best network in Pakistan. They are going to dominate data merket. Even on 3g you get average 4 to 6 mb speed while on mobilink its just 256k. I have test their service in almost 10 cities.
in 10 cities? that’s a huge claim, why didn’t it reflect in pta report.?
That report is just a …..
Not only in 10 cities, here in BWN I get average speed of 15 MBps on 3G and sometimes it goes to more tha 25 MBps.
Yahan door door tk koi 3G ni hai ZonG key bhi ni hai bs BWN me hai aas paas k cities me ni hai kisi key bhi.
ZonG is the best, because its a Chinese company <3
BWn?

ZonG is the best, I’m getting average speed of 10 MBps on 3G and mostly it gives me 15 MBps, sometimes it goes to 22+ MBps
Try to understand why they made DCEO a liar and fraud just to lie in front of media with his so called Canadian American English… poor network and planning and on top of it Niaz as DCEO:) what a fatal combination.
