Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has published the results for its Quality of Service survey for mobile phone operators. The authority said that it conducted this automated survey for 3G/4G speeds, voice and SMS delivery in nine cities of Punjab, Sindh and KPK.
The survey was conducted from January 2019 to March 2019 and it used NEMO automated QoS tool to test the services.
According to details published by PTA, the following cities were surveyed:
- D.I.Khan
- Peshawar
- Larkana
- Nawabshah
- Shikarpur
- Jacobabad
- Sahiwal
- Bhakkar
- Jhang
Results for 3G and 4G Networks
The data services of mobile phone operators were checked by measuring two key performance indicators, i.e. user data speed and signal strength.
According to PTA, various operators’ data speeds and signal strength for 3G and 4G networks remained as follows:
3G Speeds
At present, the benchmark or minimum required speed on 3G networks is 256Kbps. All operators performed way better than the benchmark speed while Zong topped the list.
4G Speeds
Minimum required speed for 4G networks is set at 2Mbps, and this is where Jazz topped the charts with 21.17 Mbps speed on its 4G network.
3G Speeds in Various Cities
PTA also published the results of data speeds over 3G networks for various operators in all tested cities.
Bhakkar, with Zong’s network, topped the charts for 3G speeds with over 9,000Kbps. More details can be seen in the chart below:

From Quetta… Jazz data and call services are very poor through out the city, don’t know whether they’ve less towers or poor city level management.
Zong and Telenor are OK with Zong has edge in data speed, but Telenor is better with data and call packages, don’t have Ufone SIM , so can’t comment on it.

Telenor is worst with all aspects survey
ZONG SUPER 4G+ Zong ka internet hmary gaon yeni village main to Bohat Hi Acha Aur 10MBPS se le kr 16MBPS tk Ati hai. Jazz k net ki service idhar itni khas nai hai. Lekin ZONG SUPER 4G K Samny To Jazz Kuch Bhi Nai Hai Mere Bhai
In FR Peshawar Hassan khel telenor sevice 10% ,ufone daytime good perfomance but at night it has failed ,same condition of zong.
I am the user of telenor from 2006, but from 2013 their services are pathetic and nobody ask them? I have so many complaints to pta but they won’t bothere it, as will as the 3g and 4g in GB,and Balochistan the our dictator military not allowing the companies to provide the services to those people.
As will as SCO is concerned that is the gold mine for our military they are providing the pathetic service and force the people to use it, and this is the main reason that they are not allowing others because they can’t compete. In May zo g was trying to start their services but military didn’t allow them to start.
One thing which I want to say SCO not paying any tax to the government and importing all the equipments with out a tax. And now they are demanding money from the government to start the 4g in GB and borders area,
I request to the PTA and other authorities to keep proper check and balance on the mobile operators for quality services.
