Zong GPRS Plays Youtube Videos Very Well
I’ve always been a heavy data-user on my mobile service. But since I got unlimited data plan (a day ago), I’m not hesitant in opening heavy sites, allowing images & javascript and all. I am on Zong network. The procedure to get the unlimited GPRS can be made more simple. Their call center representative told me to get a balance of 460+ and then call him back. I did and then he filed my request in some queue telling me that my unlimited gprs will be activated within 24 hours (”if you maintain your balance to 460+”). So thats how I got unlimited data plan.
Now my youtube experience with Zong GPRS: Last night when power was out and I was laying in bed. I thought to visit that youtube mobile portal. And clicked on one of the featured videos from home page and then “Watch Video” and WOW, it streamed very smooth without a single second pause. I never thought a gprs connection can do this for me. Thanks Zong. I’ll be waiting for when you offer EDGE (and 3G). I guess, I will abandon my exile then 
UPDATE: Now its easy to subscribe to this package. Just dial 905 from your phone and select the package. In addition to this monthly package, you can also subscribe to the hourly package that will cost you Rs 15 / hour. And the billing will be for the minutes you have used not for the whole hour.

DON’T subscribe to ZONG monthly GPRS package if you wanna download something valuable.
The speed is good, but the bastard staff won’t let you grab anything from RAPIDSHARE or MEGAUPLOAD and will often interrupt your downloads (specially in the night) to fulfill their own f u c k in g desires (may be, they are keep collecting porno things all the time).
Moreover, they are keep resetting their SERVERS frequently (usually, in every 6-8 hours).
If you do complain, their asshole CROs will consider you a ‘chootiya’.
I have been a victim for the whole shitty month, and now looking for other service providers…

@Naveed: Huh… I’ve not tried downloading anything from rapidshare or megaupload. But I really don’t think Zong has asked its staff to interrupt downloads!
I’m a typically a user of fring (the all in one messenger), google (maps, search, reader, docs, youtube), and general websites. And it works great for me.

I totally DISAGREE with Naveed Hashmi (comment#5). My internet experience with ZONG unlimited GPRS package is very good.
Last sunday, when i had problems with my DSL connection, I used ZONG gprs connection on PC for more than 15 hours without any single disconnection and ZONG did not stop any single download! (but after 15 hours,my PC was OFF due to load-shedding of KESC).
This is amazing and downloading speed is better than dial up connection but slower than DSL. This is obvious because GPRS connection is originally designed for your mobile.
I was using gprs connection of JAZZ Mobilink on my Samsung mobile since last 4 years and my internet bill was exceeding 1200 rupees every month but now, it is only 460 rupees per month. Thanks to ZONG!!

thanx for all this info guyz… one thing I wana know is how is can someone tell me how is Zong GPRS experience without EDGE? … how much download I can get?
thanx in advance

Umair, as Zong does not support EDGE yet what we are getting and talking about is its GPRS experience. And let me tell you that the quality depends upon how near you are to the tower and how many people are connected with GPRS with same tower. At night the speed will be around 5-10K and in day time it will be around 2-6K.
