Ookla’s latest report on internet performance in Pakistan is here. As always, it ranks Pakistan’s overall internet speed among other countries as well as individual ISPs and their performance during a quarter.
In terms of overall performance, Pakistan stands at rank 150 among other countries with an average download speed of 10.71 Mbps and upload speed reaching 10.45 Mbps, but at least the latency is quite low at 7ms.
But now for the better part of the report, which ranks different ISPs according to their median speeds and consistency.
Download Speed
Just like before, Transworld was ahead of everyone else in Q1 2023 in terms of download speed. It had an average download speed of 16.23 Mbps during the period, while Connect Communications was close behind at 15.3 Mbps, and then came Cybernet with 13.06 Mbps.
Nayatel was in fourth place with a median speed of 11.42 Mbps and Wateen and PTCL took the last two places with 9.72 Mbps and 7.78 Mbps respectively.
However, it is worth mentioning that a direct comparison does not tell the full story as the likes of Transworld, Nayatel, and others are primarily fiber internet providers while a large portion of PTCL connections is still on non-fiber connections.
Latency
As for latency, Connect Communications performed better than the competition with a median multi-server latency of 11ms, but Cybernet and Nayatel were right behind with 12ms each.
The gap started to increase below the top 3 performers. Transworld reported an average latency of 25ms, while Wateen and PTCL scored 34ms and 37ms on this board, which are still not unimpressive numbers by any means.
Consistency
Transworld took back its lead once again for consistency, which is perhaps the most important measure of all. According to Ookla’s report, Transworld had a consistency result of 34.2%, delivering a minimum download speed of 25 Mbps and an upload speed of 3 Mbps.
Connect Communications and Wateen had nearly the same results at 25.1% and 24.6%, respectively, but Nayatel and Cybernet were a bit further behind with 20.7% and 16.7%. PTCL was at the bottom of this chart too at only 12.6%.
Paid content
Improve ur service first.
Seriously?
Yes it’s paid content
Wateen isn’t even offering Home Internet anymore and Transworld, is High on the median Speed List because their Packages Start from 20 Mbps and this Result shows that they’ve actually regressed in terms of Quality cuz I remember when last time you shared this same report Transworld had 17Mbps+ Median Speed and Now its dropped.
The Only two Good ISPs in my Opinion are Nayatel and Cybernet. PTCL very Rightfully deserves the last place.
Can You Propakistani People tell what came of the News that you guys share about 5-6 years ago according to which Cybernet(Stormfiber) was to have its own New undersea cable? It was being laid and I heard that it would become Operational Around 2021, So what Happened to that?
Nothing poor services
I m so happy with Transworld Fiber internet
Its very fasted
I thing rank no. 1
Paid content for sure, have used almost all ISP services, more or less they seems to be same in terms of speed. They are different in terms of customer service and reliability. Mostly people doesn’t understand the concept of using cable over wifi when doing tests.
Currently am using ptcl 100 mbps , which gives nearly 100Mbps download and 150Mbps+ upload on okla speedtest. i would say their ramadan deal on 100Mbps at low cost is worth in my opinion.
Broadband Speed depends on the Consumer Numbers, if Cybernet have 300K+ users and Transworld have 125K+ users and open same pipe of bandwidth so speed will share among users, so OOKLA should mention Speed over Number of Customers..
Connect is tha best network
