The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has unveiled its latest Quality of Service (QoS) Survey for the first quarter of 2025, and this time, we are looking at the data for upload speeds across mobile networks in Pakistan. Based on comprehensive testing in 15 cities, Jazz and Zong emerged as the leading providers, significantly outpacing Ufone and Telenor in upload performance.
Jazz Leads in Automated Uploads
In tests conducted using automated tools, which mimic typical user data usage, Jazz ranked first in 10 out of 15 cities, earning it the top spot for upload speeds in Auto Mode Testing. Key performances from Jazz include:
- Chamkani: 24.08 Mbps
- Hala: 24.04 Mbps
- Dinga Town: 24.67 Mbps
- Hub: 24.55 Mbps
Zong followed closely behind, securing 5 first-place finishes, especially dominating in cities like Dina Town (20.59 Mbps) and Rahim Yar Khan (22.41 Mbps).
Telenor lagged significantly, ranking last in all 15 cities with upload speeds ranging from just 2.35 to 7.70 Mbps, while Ufone remained in third place across the board.
Zong Dominates in Real-World Uploads
When upload speeds were tested using third-party apps, which simulate real-life internet use more accurately, Zong surged to the front, topping the chart in 8 cities, compared to Jazz’s 7 cities. Zong’s best upload speeds were observed in:
- Dina Town: 30.71 Mbps
- Kasur: 24.80 Mbps
- Rahim Yar Khan: 30.78 Mbps
- Kandiaro: 31.33 Mbps
Jazz remained a close competitor with strong showings in Kuchlak (17 Mbps), Chamkani (27.25 Mbps), and Dinga Town (29.54 Mbps), but ultimately came in second in overall 3rd party app rankings.
Meanwhile, Ufone stayed in third place in most cities, and Telenor was once again at the bottom, delivering the slowest upload speeds in all 15 cities.
