That would be the 19.5% GST imposed on internet in Punjab taking its effect.

Though I don't think you can get this kind of speed on regular Zong Device. I am using TP-Link 4G router with Zong data sim in it.

Which 4G router are you using?
Price?

Jazz is throttling its 3G speeds in Bahawalpur.

And checked in 4G mode at the same location.

Are you using external antenna or there is Zong coverage available at your location?

Your phone hardware does not support band 850mhz for 4G LTE. Some Huawei phones with Kirin hardware have this restriction on 850mhz LTE band.

Basically all other networks in Pakistan are on 1800mhz 4G LTE band, it's only Telenor using 850mhz LTE band for Telenor 4G. So it's half Huawei and half Telenor fault.

However, 4G/3G should make no noticeable difference in general basic usage, unless you download stuff, where you will get benefit of significantly faster downloading speeds on 4G.

You cannot use Telenor 4G on your device, but other 4G networks will work perfectly fine on it.

Zong 2G available since long time.
But they upgraded to 3G just few months back.

Out of main cities, Zong 3G coverage is still very limited.

In Peak hours,
Zong still rules over Jazz.

And telenor is a big joke.

[hamikhan]

In cities Warid+Jazz rules 10Mb is their minimum download speed on any Warid or Mobilink 4G sim
