Zong Bags the Bulk of Opensignal’s Network Experience Awards Q2, 2022

As Pakistan’s telecom sector paves its path towards 5G while battling immediate hurdles in its way, Opensignal, the UK-based mobile analytics company has shared its latest report on Pakistan’s mobile network usage experience in Q2, 2022.

The independent global standard for analyzing consumer mobile experience, Opensignal has dedicated itself to understanding the true experience consumers receive on wireless networks.

After studying the mobile network experience of Pakistan’s users on the four countrywide mobile providers Jazz, Telenor, Ufone, and Zong for a period of 90 days, spanning from April 1, 2022, to June 29, 2022, the report compares how each network compares to one another.

These mobile networks were compared in terms of video streaming experience, gaming experience, download and upload speeds, and 4G coverage/availability. All of the brands were given a score according to their performance in each category.

Zong easily dominated the majority of Opensignal’s awards, taking first place in four out of ten categories (Download Speed Experience, Games Experience, Availability, and 4G Coverage Experience) and sharing first place in four others, including three awards with Jazz (Voice App Experience, Upload Speed Experience, and 4G Availability) and the Video Experience award with Ufone.

Ufone, on the other hand, won Consistency awards, for both Outstanding Consistent Quality and Core Consistent Quality.

Gaming Experience

When playing multiplayer mobile games, Pakistani smartphone users on the Zong mobile network got the highest quality of experience accessible.

Therefore, Zong wins the Games Experience title entirely and surpasses its previous joint victory with Jazz. Zong is now 3.4 points ahead of second-place Jazz.

The Download Speed Experience award also goes to Zong. With average internet speeds of 11.4 Mbps, Zong subscribers in Pakistan had the fastest Download Speed Experience, 0.7 Mbps faster than Jazz users.
