Are you using employee package? If you are. IS it true that in Karachi employee packages has FUP in place? I've been told that speed get throttled if you download over 10GB a month? Is that correct?
I think Yasir already answer your question.

Yes i m using ZONG employee package. No there is no any FUP in employee package through out Pakistan including Karachi. Speed don't get throttled if you download over 10 GB. As myself downloaded about 50GB from ZONG employee package and yet i m getting speed around 8 - 14 Mbps.

I hope i will answer all your queries.

So I went to buy a D802 32GB. I checked around 8 devices, all of them 32 GB. NONE of them were able to connect via LTE (I'm using Zong). All of them were able to switch to 3G though. I decided to try a 16 GB one which was going for 29k (was almost new). It was able to switch to LTE almost instantly.

The shopkeepers were insistent that ONLY the 16GB version can connect via LTE because the 32GB version doesn't support the 1800MHz band (lol).
Sab dramay hain yaar Shopkeepers ke. LOL. If a phone couldn't connect to LTE it probably be a LS980 running 802 Rom on top!

Secondly, I have to manually enter service mode on D802 to get to LTE settings. Will installing a custom AOSP based ROM like CyanogenMod or Blisspop fix this issue?
Install CloudyG2 2.2 , Its a stock based G3 4.4.2 Rom. You can select manual settings even for 2G :). So you'll be good to go.

Note : Don't install AOSP based roms on G2. Battery life will get reduced drastically.

So I got a D802. LTE is working but whenever I have to make a call it shifts to 3G and remains on 3G until I'm done making the call. Also when I receive a call It behaves the same way. I have set up zongapn to get the LTE to work. If I switch to LTE only, then I use LTE internet but can't make calls. Any ideas?

that is because LTE doesnot support GSM voice calls. only way for the phone to call is to first switch to 2G or 3G. VoLTE (voice over LTE) has to be deployed by the network for voice calls over LTE which only few networks in the world have deployed. obviously zong and warid are not among those networks but might be in future.

look at the link for more info.
VoLTE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


so dont worry it is normal.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
