Nopes. No effect. Calls don't really take a lot of spectrum anyway (unlike data).
Phone operators prioritize voice calls (IMS channels) over data using QoS. You can have zero functional data but voice calls would work (I see this with Jazz in my part of Bahria - zero functional data but calls...
That's really good. I guess you were on their 20Mhz spectrum with those upload speeds.
But also, the speedtest conducted in the first screenshot and the second screenshot show different times of the day (and hence, congestion and other things).
I think the highest upload speeds I've seen online, for 4G, are in the ballpark of 40 and 50Mbps, something Jazz also manages to attain because that's the maximum real world upload speed you can get on 20Mhz (and 4G supports a maximum single chunk of 20Mhz - anything extra, and you need...
I know the Imtiaz in Pindi uses Cybernet and they routed everything through PIE - I'll see if I can go there and test.
These pings look decent - I'm adding ~20ms extra for Pindi/Islamabad, which make it almost as good as TW (and in some cases, even better than TW), and definitely better than...
Upload link carrier aggregation.
U L C A
Carrier aggregation on uploads, AFAIK, is not a priority for any operator worldwide. They tend to focus more on downloads (give our share of uploads to downloads in real world scenarios).
FINALLY!
Can you share the routing as well, please?
Routing to Google DNS 8.8.8.8 (CDN)
Routing to en.wikipedia.org (CDN)
Routing to mail.yahoo.com (CDN)
Routing to o2.co.uk (UK) (may or may not time out - ping works)
Routing to bell.ca (Canada) (it will time out)
Routing to verizon.net
I know...
True. But it's a pain.
Somehow, despite Google's offerings being simpler, they're definitely prettier. Sure they can be better, but... there's something about the Pixel experience which you don't necessarily get on the other OEMs (mostly the interface/visuals).
About damn time.
Jazz still messes up in Bahria.
Zong's signals don't work as well as Jazz's when they're poor.
And I haven't been able to get VoLTE on my Pixel 4 (I need a new phone, but not Samsung cause of the bloat, even though they're compelling devices... And expensive).
Companies love closing complaints. I tell them "who said the complaint is closed? Please reopen it".
Also, tell PTA about this complaint. Make sure you say it's not the agent's fault.
So, a few things:
1. caller ID spoofing: you can actually do that. Sometimes, people use a different number and when you call back, that number is invalid. Yes, it happens in Pakistan (I know UBL has these things where if a staff calls you, it appears to come from a Ufone number but when you...
Back in the Instaphone days, I remember the code 0351 lol. I was very young then and had this obsession to remember phone numbers (I still remember the number though).
lol.
Tethering (edit: I mean "teething") problems. I once remember having an issue somewhat similar with Zong and my mum's number (it was a new number, but with a normal code, on Zong). Zong wouldn't connect to her phone but her phone would connect to Zong (or something like this - this was...
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
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.
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.

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is
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.
