Open Signal, a UK based Wireless coverage mapping company has badly exposed LTE/4G services in Pakistan by ranking it at 4th slowest in the world with an average LTE speed of just 4 Mbps; slightly above the average for speeds of 3G (3.5 Mbps).
Iran tops the rank, Costa Rica second, Saudi Arabia third with 3 Mbps and followed by Pakistan at the fourth-last position with an average of 4 Mbps average speed for 4G LTE networks.
Global average speed for 4G LTE networks is gauged at 13Mbps.
Singapore tops the list while providing the fastest average LTE speed of 37 Mbps, followed by New Zealand with 29 Mbps and Hungary with 28 Mbps.
According to the OpenSingal report, Pakistan has an average LTE speed of just 4 Mbps; which is slightly above the average for speeds of 3G (3.5 Mbps).
With coverage of 56%, Zong’s average 4G speed was recorded at 7Mbps, while Warid’s average speed for 4G was ranked at 3Mbps.
Though Sri Lanka and India surpass Pakistan in LTE speeds with 11Mpbs and 13Mpbs 4G LTE speeds respectively, both SAARC countries lag behind in terms of 4G coverage.
Pakistan has better coverage with 58 percent as compared to 49 percent in India and 39 percent in Sri Lanka. South Korea tops the list with 97 percent LTE coverage followed by Japan with 90 percent.
According to the latest data of Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), the number of 4G (Zong) users jumped from 254,122 subscribers in November 2015 to 282,701 million subscribers in December 2015, while Warid has a total of 10.69 million customers.
OpenSignal’s report on State of 4G LTE networks for Q1 2016 can be downloaded from here.
I am experiencing 18 to 45 Mbps LTE speed on Zong all over Faisalabad. Dont know about other cities.
My experience with warid was horrible as It never reached beyond 10 Mbps.
Zong’s performance has been decreased significantly since past few months. Warid, on the other hand, is stable and reliable.
No Doubt Warid 4G Lte Best Quality Network in Pakistan
Bhai Aj subha ki speed hai Zong 4G D-ground Faisalabad. Speed test b hai aur torrent pe actual downloading speed b.
singapore has the fastest at 37. So you in Faisalabad is getting waay over that at 45. Total nonsense. You are probably testing speednet using a server in Pakistan to detect speeds.
37Mbps is an “average” speed and I think there is no need to elaborate ‘average’.
Much log jealous hojaty hain itni speed dekh kr. Lol
Go back to school and learn what is average.
And I am talking about exact download speed that i am getting on torrent which is 2 to 4.5 MB/s maximum I got
he is not referring to average speeds, which are calculated on scientific basis.
but what he is saying could be correct depending on the load on the network.
Zafar Zong 4G Ki Speed Sirf Purany Screen Shot Main Hi Daikhi Ja Sakti Ha Warna Aj Maine Zong 4G Par Windows 10 Install Karta Raha Hoon 60Kb Se 300Kb Par Second Se Ziyada Nahi

Bro Average speed is calculated on scientific basis on data used under different weather and different conditions, what you are saying is correct if it is persistent then it can gives an average speed of 20Mbps
Comparing the (area) size of South Korea and Japan, Pakistan’s 58% coverage will become 200% for those countries. Speed related issues will persist for another year or two because networks are expanding coverage, infrastructure is new and it will take time to settle.
In my opinion, Pakistan is ahead of many other countries (who had launched 3G/4G services years before us) in terms of coverage, speed and rates.
India use 700Mhz, 800/850Mhz, 1800Mhz, 2300Mhz, 2500Mhz for 4G bands.
and pakistan use only 1800Mhz for 4G band.
This 4G average speed tested on AIRTEL 2300Mhz (20Mhz x1) 4G band.
Pakistan operator use 1800Mhz (5Mhz x2) 4G band, this is why pakistan’s 4G speed slow compare to INDIA.
INDIAN operator successfully tested on VO-LTE & VO-WIFI (HD voice call over LTE network & LTE WIFI network) & may be started in the next couple of months.
Airtel and Reliance Jio – are working on next step of simple LTE – LTE-A and LTE-U – respectively. LTE-A (LTE Advanced) is more about carrier aggregation, which means adding different types of spectrum bands. On the other hand, LTE-U (LTE Unlicensed) is more likely to be the next step forward after LTE-A. It was originally proposed by Qualcomm for using LTE technology in the unlicensed spectrum (5GHz for example). Ericsson also uses the term License Assisted Access (LAA) to describe a similar technology.
These technologies are aggregating LTE in both, licensed and unlicensed spectrum. LAA can be used in all the regions globally while LTE-U is region specific – USA, Korea and INDIA.
Pak operators using 1800 MHz (2*10) correct your knowledge. And we dont know how they calculate average speed. This is speed i am getting on Zong LTE with 2GB/day in just Rs 10 which is cheapest LTE in the world. What is rate of 4G data in india?
what you’re getting is 5Mbps lol, on better locations i get 10 Mbps on zong and mobilink 3g.
lte speeds on better locations are 15 to 19 Mbps on zong.
5 Mbps maximum downlaod speed is approximately 700 kB/s while in above screenshot its arround 5000 kB/s which can be get on 40 Mbps connection. Try to understand difference among Mbps, kB/s and MB/s first than comment.
no need to be rude or think you’re the only smart one, a simple pointing towards 5000kB/s thing would have sufficed.
ps: yes i know the difference, most people post this way only to brag, thus it skips my eyes.
also getting 40Mbps is on its own amazing as max ive seen or get was 30Mbps on my Find 7a.
Ok
2 GB/day in PKR 10, which package/offer is that brother?
Thanks
Zong day time offer
NO, Zong paid $516 million for 10 MHz spectrum in 2.1 GHz frequency for 3G and 10 MHz spectrum in 1.8 GHz frequency for 4G making it Pakistan’s first 3G and 4G operator.
check wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zong_Pakistan
im using AIRCEL 3G, MAX speed i get 10Mbps (download speed on IDM 1.2 to 1.4 mbps).
& i also get RJIO 4G sim with 75GB of free 4G data without any cost.
RJIO 4G not commercial launch yet, commercial launch likely in March-April. RJIO 4G speed is 70 to 90 Mbps (may be speed decrease after commercial launch).
Bro indian does not eat 4G…indian needs food first then they are able to talk about 4G.Gay Hind…..hahahaha
Check Du 4g in dubai..
I was getting 18 Mbps on du 3G in dubai. U r slow my dear. ;)
High speed is always due to expensive packages.
well lets dig the prices between the fastest singapore Vs the slowest saudi arabia
in singapore there is no concept of unlimited data usage on 4G , singtel 10GB/month @ $49.90 , 49.90 singapore dollars translates to 35 USD.
in saudi i am using 60GB/month data sim @ 96 Riyal which translates to $25.
high speeds due to low data allowance and small population.
these factors should be taken into account.
100% Agree
Zong 4G Ki Speed Bhi TAB Thi Jub Lugian Masitan Galar Imam Thay Jesy Hi Zong NE Day Bundle Dia Ha Iski Bakri Baith Gai Ha
Exactly, pehly sirf log sirf speed test ky liye 4g use krty ty.
Ab YouTube kaliau
Yeah, mera 60gb kam parh jata hy YT ki waja sy
Same To You My 4G Uses
Give this brother a cookie as he made more sense than the article.
I dnt knw how they calculate this average. I get 15mb plus on warid wheneve i check the speed. i use speedtest ookla.
Average means Average of Everyone (not just your own average) :)
Speedtest is useless for this purpose. In order to truly gauge the performance of the network, you should give direct downloading, torrent running via a client a try.
Fsd.
interesting info you have published! mate
i am interested in posting as a guest blogger. my email id is [email protected]
Aaj zong ke 4g per to Google be nhi khul rahi. Really boht ghatya hai 3g/4g..
Ptcl acha tha. I miss dsl 4mb
Zong 4g speed test @ different times
4G LTE in Canada ;-)
chalo chalo canada chalo, itnai taiz net se humharai phone jal janai haen, enko slow ki adat hai
LOL. Haha. True Story. Pakistan mein 20Mbps se opar net anay lag jaye to agle 10 saal na hatein is speed se :D
Do not give such reports any importance. When they take average, that includes all kinds of users: users from low coverage area, users in overcrowded BTS area and the users who use internet during peak hours. In PK, people who live in areas where towers are not overburdened yet get good speeds. Like for example, I get upto 15 Mbps download speed on Telenor 3G and upto 25 Mbps download speed on Zong 4G. So, stop complaining and throw this report outside the window.
zong 4g speed in fsd
Zong is getting worst day by day. Now they throttle facebook and dailymotion video streaming. You are lucky if you are getting good speed using zong services. I think govt should allow more new companies to offer 3g, 4g internet services. Competition may increase value of service.
282,701 million?
Mery Munh ki Baat cheen li ap ny :P
average is like …………. a person has 90,000PKR and the other person has 10,000PKR…..when talking in terms of average……..Both have 50,000PKR on average…….That’s how per capita income is also calculated by the economic “Masters”.
I usually get 15-20Mbps speed from Zong……Off peak, it is upto 25Mbps while at peak times it is usually around 10-15 Mbps. Peace.
sorry 2100 for 3g and 1800 for 4g. but both are 10*2 not 5*2
People are mixing up average speed on instantaneous speeds. Average speed is calculated by scientific methods not by some app or some download speeds.
