Weird issue with Jazz. I turn on 3G and speedtest through Jazz experiene app, it gives 8Mb down and 1Mb up. Then after 5 minutes if I turn on mobile data again at the exact same place (in my house), it crawls like hell, can't even load google. Signal strength also drops by about 10dbm. Jazz Customer Care agent says that everything is fine on their end. Any ideas what's going on?

Ufone and Telenor have very good self-care apps. Jazz should learn a thing or two.

...a thing or ten. Not two. They need to up their game massively in this area.

From the looks of it and track record, it is next to impossible.

I think Jazz has worst 3G among all operators. I am cursing the day Jazz launched 3G on 900 MHz. Now I get full signal bars on my phone but without working data. When complain, all they said is that this is a known issue at that location and it will take some time to resolve. And that time never arrives. Unfortunately I do not have a rooted device anymore to uncheck 900 MHz band because 2100 MHz 3G atleast let me browse.

I, too, disagree - I may not score 8Mbps on 900Mhz regularly, but it's not as bad as yours is. I've had issues with 2100Mhz too.
It depends on your location (inside buildings, or even outside) and how well your phone can grab onto the signal. It also depends on the server selection. But I wouldn't call it bad by any means.
Sometimes, you just have to understand the limitations. I get good 3G signals in my room, but it's not enough to browse the internet on. But I don't complain because I know my room is an issue, and all operators fail there. There's a reason why indoor units are deployed in hard areas.
Or there's a reason why wifi calling exists.
We don't have indoor units available for residential areas (Mobilink and Telenor do deploy, and I think Zong and Ufone do, but to a way lesser extent) but we don't have WiFi calling (Zong does, through an app, but haven't used it, and don't intend on using it).

Honestly even if we don't get VoLTE, I'd be happy even if we had native WiFi calling. Would be perfect for people who have good WiFi at home but poor signals.
Agreed. Even on 2100Mhz here in Wah Cantt, it crawls. Outdoors it runs somewhat fine most of the time but indoors its unusable no matter what the signal strength is. Zong's indoor coverage is way better.I think Jazz has worst 3G among all operators. I am cursing the day Jazz launched 3G on 900 MHz. Now I get full signal bars on my phone but without working data.

I haven't gotten more than 20 Mbps on 3G for over a year now, anywhere in Islamabad. F-6/7/8/9/10/11, you name it, it's always below 10 Mbps.Jazz doesn't throttle/limit speeds in Islamabad and it's only the peripheries which suffer.

I'm just hoping their 4G stays as it is (or gets better lol) in terms of speed and reliability, they just need to improve their coverage.
I've gotten both 6Mbps and 20Mbps as well - I don't know why there's a lot of variance (they probably do throttle 3G in several areas of Islamabad to accommodate for more users, perhaps) but I am in Bahria Phase 8 right now, and band 8 3G won't let me use data nor place calls. Band 1 is slow (probably due to weak signals) but at least both data and voice calls work.
4G is mediocre in terms of signal strength, but I've touched 2 MB/s at worst - so that's good enough.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.

XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
