The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has released its latest Quality of Service (QoS) Survey for Q1 2025, revealing which mobile network providers are delivering the fastest download speeds across 15 cities nationwide. Based strictly on download performance, Jazz and Zong emerged as the top contenders, with Jazz leading in automated testing and Zong dominating in third-party app testing.
When it comes to download speeds measured through automated testing, which simulates typical user behavior, Jazz claimed first place in 11 out of 15 cities, making it the best overall performer in this category. Notable performances were observed in these areas:
However, when download speeds were measured using independent third-party apps, which are often considered more reflective of real-world usage, Zong led in 10 cities, outperforming all rivals in this category.
Highlights include:
Across most cities, Jazz and Zong consistently swapped the top two positions while Ufone and Telenor, by contrast, lagged significantly behind:
| Rank | Operator | Auto Mode (PTA) | 3rd Party App |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Jazz | ✅ (11 cities) | ❌ (5 cities) |
| 2nd | Zong | ✅ (4 cities) | ✅ (10 cities) |
| 3rd | Ufone | ❌ (0 cities) | ❌ (0 cities) |
| 4th | Telenor | ❌ (0 cities) | ❌ (0 cities) |
If download speed is your top priority, Jazz offers the best performance under automated conditions, while Zong shines in real-world third-party testing. Both networks significantly outperform Ufone and Telenor, making them the clear leaders when it comes to download speeds.
