Bro if u using charji...can u plz tell me its average speed??

Speed varies from area to area. At my residence even wingle gives full 9.3 mbps at late night. But that thing has got stability issue. Charji is more stable due to new network.

Mobilink merging with Warid will be awesome!
We'll get something faster than 2G to rollback to when we leave 4G coverage.
However, if they merge, what'll the network be called? Will Mobilink (410-01) and Warid (410-07) still be identified as separate networks or will there only be one?

Hello guys suggest me a good internet connection with unlimited download and good speed and should be economically...???
I am using the mobilink 3g since it launched and i was much impressed with packages and speed a month or two back...but now they have just ruined their packages and speeds...now they are simply pathetic...and now that's not for me..!!
i have opted charji cloud in my mind..now plz suggest me should i go for it or any other good and economical option..??
Awaiting for ur kind input guys!
Thanks in Advance!!!

u mean now they have increased prices of their package n reduced the volume?
i think its good they did that, doing that they have improved the service, i wasnt happy with mobilink, it used to b around 100kb/s now even at this time i am getting 450-500kb/s which is really very good esp compared to what it used to be

Yeah i mean same..!!!
But I don't think so that doing this improves the service...
but they should have also increased the volume..since the price is also increased..!!!

i disagree, packages r still cheaper compared to other networks, due to the "mufta" packages service was so down, speeds were so slow if u want quality then atleast pay something if not much

i'd pay more for good speed, whats the use of cheap packages when u dont get good enough speed

Raising prices improves the quality of service, even if all other technical factors remain the same.

Prices increase, then less people use it, so it automatically improves quality of service, without even upgrading their infrastructure.

True for Pakistan. But in developed countries, they improve their own infrastructure keeping the prices constant and even decrease the prices to gain more customers. For companies in pakistan, money comes first.

Your solution would also work for load shedding in Pakistan. Increase electricity price so much that only small percentage of population could use it. Problem of shortage solved

Electricity has become a basic necessity. Tell me you could live without it? So it should be as much cheaper as possible.

Internet is "not" like electricity. You can survive with slow or capped internet if you can't afford high tariffs. (No need to download pirated games and movies all the time)

Every carrier has limited bandwidth. Running network at full bandwidth means choking it for everyone. The only way to fix it is to buy more bandwidth which is not that easy and cheap in Pakistan because government wants to make huge profit by selling licenses for bandwidths. So mobile companies are also handicapped in one scenario and dependent upon approval and paying large some of money to govt. to open new doors to improve their service. Then they pull out all that spent money from pockets of consumers.

Both the parties will do a combine business now. no acquisition, just a merging of two companies. lets watch for the end results.

Yeah, its a merger. Warid will retain 15% of the shares. After 4 years they wil reevaluate this.

Its applicable almost everywhere. But its applied "too much" in Pakistan than other countries.

Google "Law of Supply and Demand" and "Elasticities of Supply and Demand" and then you will know what I am talking about.

Internet and electricity are two different things.

Electricity is a necessity, so it has inelastic demand, its demand will decrease very slightly if there is increase in prices. There are also no cheaper alternatives available for electricity.

Internet is not a necessity, so it has elastic demand, its demand will decrease more if there is increase in prices. Cheaper alternatives are available, so people start to look for cheaper alternatives, as you can see lots of examples in this thread of it.
