Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has released its Q2 2025 Quality of Service (QoS) Survey, ranking the country’s top cellular mobile operators (CMOs) based on their mobile broadband performance. Internet speed testing was done across 19 cities to evaluate download and upload speeds using both auto mode and third-party applications.
Here is how it was done.
Testing Methods
Auto Mode Tests involved controlled download/upload testing using standardized 10GB files over 3-minute durations, and Third-Party App Tests simulated real-world performance using independent tools to assess user-experience-based speeds.
Rankings were determined based on the number of cities where a provider achieved 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th position in speed performance.
Here are the results.
Networks Ranked by Internet Speed
1. Jazz
- Auto Mode Download: 1st place in 16 out of 19 cities
- Auto Mode Upload: 1st in 10 cities, 2nd in 9 cities
- 3rd Party App Download: 1st in 11 cities, 2nd in 8 cities
- 3rd Party App Upload: 2nd in 16 cities
Jazz currently leads Pakistan’s mobile broadband space in terms of internet speed, leading in nearly all speed-based metrics, particularly in download throughput both in controlled (auto mode) and real-world (third-party app) scenarios.

For one thing, packages are becoming very expensive and the internet is very slow and running on par with 3G.
It’s all about due to opration handed over to third party, why third party take care it’s quality rather than profit 😁
