It depends city to city. Here In Faisalabad Mobilink call quality is as bad as Ufone 3G. While Zong is superb in voice

Jazz 4G beating Zong 4G is like [MENTION=136639]zafarabbasrizvi[/MENTION] getting married to Alia Bhatt after all.I would love to see Jazz 4G beating ZONG 4G
Jazz clearly beats ZONG in call quality though .. I want data too
Just not gonna happen.

[MENTION=30257]junejo[/MENTION] my experience with jazz was worst while traveling from hyd to sahiwal, 3g only worked at stations but zong was working at most places, even here jazz 3g is non-existent (very low signals and speed like 1 mbps down) but zong 3g and 4g is charming, here
Zong 4g

Remember how I earlier tested Telenor in my office? I tested it again, and it looks like there's some construction material interfering with the signals (despite the signal being around -67dBm). This is the highest I managed to get whilst inside the office (on average, it would hover between 0.8 and 1.5Mbps), and I'm guessing it could have been better had I changed my location on the same floor.
Thing is - Telenor isn't cheap for postpaid.
Also, Mobilink postpaid billing - looks like we should stop following *1111# for the payable amount.
[MENTION=130510]zakiuddin[/MENTION], I rang up Mobilink again to ask about conference calling - they say it costs Rs. 50+tax. Stupid, stupid decision.

[MENTION=63376]shaheerk[/MENTION] Zong supreme monthly offer is pretty great. I am using it, and it is better than postpaid or any super card type offer.
In 750 Rs recharge per month incuding all taxes I get 3000 on net minutes, sms and Mbs with 300 other network minutes. And 3000 Mbs are enough for daily outside social media use and web surfing as I have wifi at home.
.
And I was continously getting alets from Jazz that my 2000 credit limit is approaching, so I decided to increase my credit limit to 2500 instead paying bill before generation of invoice becuase my usage sometimes change 3 times in a day according to *1111#.

You know, I'm thinking of rechecking the tariffs of the prepaid packages and then re-visit my decision. I checked Telenor, and they're the cheapest in prepaid (with my usage). You just mentioned Zong - I would need around 5GB per month (approx - because my consumption is a bit over 4GB) so I'll see how much incremental I have to pay.
The thing with this specific super card is that you can't use any ordinary scratch card to use this offer, if I'm not wrong, so...
OK. Back to the drawing board. Postpaid is just more convenient because it's a fixed amount and the incentives offered are close to my usage requirements, whilst prepaid allows me to purchase more data as per my requirements.

Edit: Zong has voice quality issues in Islamabad - so that's why I don't want to give them preference.

Well its only Ufone who required special card to activate supercard offer. In Zong if you have balance in your account, you can activate any offer from Mobile app or through code.
Well if 3GB consumed before month completion there is an option of 2GB in Rs. 100 for a week by Zong.
.
And as well as call quality of Zong is concerned in Islamabad, I wish Zong a speedy recovery and same to Jazz here.
.
You can also avail Telenor Djuice monthly all in one offer in Rs. 400 including tax (If telenor 4G speed fullfil your requirement). You will get 5GB internet and Rs. 250 Balance for all network call and sms. And the good thing is, if you resubscribe offer any time before expiry, resources will be carry forward.

Warid 4g at johar town Lahore. It really sucks. Zong is way better than it. At least on zong I get 2 mb/s consistent speed.

I decided to do some random speed tests. On 3G. With Telenor. And some Mobilink too.
Tl;Dr: Telenor isn't as bad as it was (they've improved quite a bit), but they haven't reached Mobilink's 3G speeds. Mobilink 4G needs improving big time, Telenor's 4G signals don't reach everywhere - but it's consistent in speeds.
So here's the thing - I said I couldn't get good speeds in my bank, right? I managed to hit 6.5Mbps in the office building (I had to go to the stair case and go somewhere in the middle). Distortions on 3G are everywhere, and I think this could be the reason why 3G speeds sick in general.
That said, here are the speed tests. I usually managed to get a minimum of 2Mbps on average (it's an average!) And started doing random speed tests in Blue Area, F8/4, maybe one random test around zero point, Faizabad (quite a few) and Murree Road (just before entering Rawal Road).
What I noted about 4G was that while speeds don't accelerate slowly (as in it's like 0 to 60mph in 0.5 seconds, while the rest tend to ramp up slowly), the 4G signals aren't very strong. And I'm talking about outdoor signals. Also, they don't cover Islamabad Highway very well either.
In the following shot, the tests at the bottom were taken near Faizabad, while entering Murree Road.
The one test that showed a slow result was around the 6th road flyover (before climbing the flyover), but on the top, and while descending, the speeds improved.
I then decided to put back my Mobilink SIM. And entered Rawal Road. It's not a pretty sight...
There was a time when speeds peaked to 6Mbps - most likely it was the trees and concrete buildings interfering with the speeds, but I didn't get the 6Mbps speed again. It was mostly hovering on the lower side. So, yes, Mobilink suffers as well from the distortions.
Below, more Mobilink tests. The top three were taken on 4G.
When I entered Gulrez phase 2, Telenor was giving me 1.2Mbps whilst Mobilink was closer to 2Mbps.
Now - what does this show on face value? That Telenor isn't too bad, but it's not great either. It's alright for audio streaming, but HD video? I don't think so. But on the same places, Mobilink suffers as well, so whether one is better than the other is moot (since both aren't great - on 3G).
Mobilink has a LOT of work carved out for itself for 4G in a number of places - either there's a lot of congestion in those areas, or Warid's infrastructure isn't up to the mark in those places. Zong has its moments as well (Bahria Town phases 1-5) but in most places, Zong performs better than Warid/Mobilink.
Telenor has decent 4G (right now, at least), but they need to fix the coverage before doing anything else. Their 3G speeds seem to have improved (by how much exactly, it's up for debate), but you can see that it's not too bad. It's definitely usable (last time I used it, it wasn't) but not fast. Mobilink has its weak spots, but they seem to perform better (due to the spectrum).
I should also note that for some speed tests, it started off slow, but ramped up in the end (the graph went upwards), but since the test finishes before it reaches the peak, you can't see the full picture.
Also, Telenor has MUCH better 3G signals than 2G or 4G. Why? I don't know. Everyone else has it the other way round. On three bars (out of 4), I was able to pull in 2Mbps (see the tests around F8/4). Mobilink generally has better speeds (good for downloading stuff, but virtually no difference while browsing stuff) but not so great signals.
Voice calls on both networks are acceptable/good.
Also, Telenor gives free conference calling and has an app which you can use to monitor your billing (sorry, just had to mention it), but their postpaid packages are NOT economical. Mobilink: I went to their office today to talk about other things, but I was told that they're trying to improve their billing lag from 5 or 6 hours to two, and that they're trying to fix the rupee value on the *1111# short code. I don't know if the lady was trying to retain me as a postpaid customer or not, but I'll believe it when I see it.
So where does this leave me?
I tested Zong again to check if the voice issue was fixed. It's not. I don't know how to complain to them when I'm not their subscriber (I'm using my mum's number to test, and I don't want her to be bombarded with Zong's tech support calls) so if anybody else in Islamabad/Rawalpindi uses Zong, please complain to them and tell them their voice is perfectly fine in Lahore, and this issue persists in Islamabad only.
So where does this leave me? In the cold. I don't know what to do. I'm not porting to Zong for voice calls, nope!
I hope this helps somebody out there, wondering how well Telenor is. I should also add that I did manage to hit speeds north of 5Mbps (sometimes even 8Mbps), but those aren't in the screenshots - and the main issue with these speeds is that there is a lot of disturbance from concrete and greenery, which affect different operators differently. Also, I'm sure Telenor has the backhaul bandwidth, but because their spectrum isn't as much as Mobilink's or Zong's, they won't be able to service the same speeds to the users. But the speeds are alright, if you're in a low distortion zone.
