Why don’t they consider their speed and quality of 3g coverage and signals strength.
Ufone aur jazz pe 3g chalana mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai.
jazz 3g Packages are more expensive among all that is why i switched to telenor 3g and zong 3g.
Ufone is going down day by day.. alarming figures for PTCL…
lol ufone lol :P
3G subscribers will keep declining until government policies toward taxation change and companies make service worth the money,
Never. If you can have 4,4 sims of Mobilink and Warid.
Your life will be easy with Reconnect Offers.
Tried to download 5 small video clips (cumulative length less than 4 minutes) received on whatsapp and it took almost 24hrs thru telenor, shouldn’t users look towards other operators
Zong pr ao or sb download kr lo
The best to use 3G or 4G is reconnect offers by Warid (3GB for 15 days) Mobilink (3GB for 60 Days)
Alaming ka kya baat hai .. ghatia speed n covg hy mobilink and ufone ki, Telenor n Zong aala chaltay hain .. jaga jaga coverage ki baat bhi hoti hy but mera experience Ufone n Jazz dono ka bura e rha hy since thyr 3g launchx.
#zong ?
30 to 40 off peak
15 peak hours #4g
ZONG 4G is best but 3G sucks. Telenor is pathetic. Ufone oh not even in my list to count. Warid was best but i havent tested in past few months. Screenshot of ZONG in Peshawar
Lol Look At Your Ping :P
Alllah Dittay, maut to nahi agayi ping dekh ke ? abay speed dekh, ping acha ho aur mbps ke bjaye kbps aaraha hoga to tere ping ping hoga !
I used Telenor 3G from Day First i.e 2014, I subscribed 3G (Day-Timel Weekly Package, Initially Package Charges was 40 PKR/Week with 7GB Volume after Approx. 1 Year they Raised charges from 40 to 47.50, Within Few Months they Continuously Increasing Charges & In against Constantly Decreased Volume i.e 5GB@ 47.50, 5GB@ 55, 4GB@ 60 & from 10th August Only 3GB@ 70 PKR, What the Hell Telenor?
Fuck 3G Speed & Suck Customer’s Money Day by Day Rapidly!!
zong at 2GB @rS 100 for week super fast speed
ufone users include my stop using 3g due to increase price of night package. which was 15 now its 99 rupee.
3G speeds and Packages are getting worst and this is the only reason behind this decline.. I also left using 3G because of slow speeds and packages being costly…
Only Zong is offering better 3G/LTE speed and packages. Their Night and Day time offers are good as compare to others. And 2GB in Rs. 100 is also a good package. 8GB in 400
Is Packege Main Remaining Data Next Weak Main Add Hota Ha
Nahi bhai add nahi hota
No
Bahi tum bhot trust kartay ho zong pay..ubscribed to zong nightly package which is 1 gb , after downloading 4
clips of talk show which would be about 100 mb I got a message that you
have used 80% of your data .. They are all thief including ptcl
If i haven’t subscribed to any net packages and by mistake 3g turns on and downloads nothing all my credit is stolen by zong or ufone ..
چارٹ میں تو پتہ چل رہا ہے یوفون کی حالت بہت خراب ہے جب سے انہوں نے رات کا پیکج میگا بنڈل بند کیا ہے تو ان کی تو بکری ہی بیٹھ گئی ہے
Hahaha So True.
They need to bring back the Mega Internet Bundle. They are Govt. how can they run out of bandwidth? :D
Ufone ke 3g users just supercard ki wajah se chal rahay hyn. In ki growth possible hi nahin hai.
Subscribed to zong nightly package which is 1 gb , after downloading 4 clips of talk show which would be about 100 mb I got a message that you have used 80% of your data .. They are all thief including ptcl
I checked many times with data monitor. Every time after 800 mb usage sms arrived of 80% use. Check data monitor while using.
I am saying i never used 800 mb .. it was more like 200 mb
Same thing happened to me .i was using night package. In hardly 5 mins 80% msg arrived. I was shocked . Then checked data counter. Switched off data . And tried to find reason and found the reason. It was windows update which consumes +800 mb with in 5 to 7 minutes of conectivity . And data counter was showing exact figure. And this thing happened twice. So for me they are not thief.
Where is data counter located in zong app? My windows update was turned off . I guess I’ll have go give it an another go
Thats why i am telling you that once use it with data monitor and confirm wheather you receive sms after 800 mb or 200
well they might find most of them on 4g networks now.
It is quiet better to use old 56kbps modem internet than this stupid ever 3g in pakistan ! they take fully money and provide service lower than modem internet ! I hope all will agree with me, if not , fir company tere abe ni hosi es liye dukh hai
PTA was dumb enough to hold bidding license to 5mhz spectrum blocks and now they say we don’t know why 3g user’s number went down.
Telenor, Jazz, Ufone and Warid is not the Good for Mobile internet users dew to coverage , services and speed , Zong all the time best
Too expensive
taxation is not basic issue, the issue is speed for declining in 3G or 4G usage. I had already switch to lower package just for using 3G or 4G in case of urgency or where no-wifi available. because browsing and downloading speed on both 3G or 4G is pathatic. at the time of launch by zong I was getting 18mbps download and 6-9mbs upload. now the highest speed for the last 3 months I am getting maximum of 4mbps download and upload at below 1mbps. so when you use internet on mobile phone or other devices the speed matters a lot. Its in my case, I dont know about other user.

This is mobilink for you in swabi
3g ki speed sbb ki bakwas hy. Only 4g warid and Zong are better but coverage kemm hy.
Zong Nice Performance. [I am Zong’s 20yrs customer (before was Paktel)].
یہ گراوٹ تمام کمپنیوں کی مشترکہ لوٹ مار کا نتیجہ ہے … روز روز پیکج ریٹ میں اضافہ لوگ واپس پی ٹی سی ایل کی طرف جانے پر مجبور ہو رہے ہیں
Downloaded via torrent?
no from download helper ..I used to use 1 gb nightly when my ptcl dsl was not working
There are so many data monitor apps available on play store and apple store, most of sets have built in data monitor apps. Set today usage to zero and start using 1GB offer. And confirm after how mb usage you receive 800 mb alert. I have checked many times thats why I trust.
ok Thanks .. I will try
