Yesterday, we reported the best mobile networks in Pakistan based on Ookla’s latest findings in the Speedtest Connectivity Report. This report ranked Pakistan’s mobile network based on various performance metrics such as connection speeds, consistency, gaming performance, video streaming, and more.
But now it’s time to rank Pakistan’s broadband internet providers, such as PTCL, Nayatel, Transworld, and others.
As per data collected from millions of Speedtest users from January to June 2025, PTCL Flash Fiber was the best fixed internet provider in Pakistan during H1 2025 with a score of 56.95. However, this score was extremely close to Transworld and Nayatel, which scored 56.71 and 56.31, respectively, meaning the top 3 winners were nearly matched in the final standings.
Cybernet and Connect Communications also made it to the top 5, but non-fiber PTCL connections fell significantly behind on the leaderboard with a score of only 41.59.
Islamabad topped the list of Pakistan’s major cities for median fixed download speeds, reaching 20.36 Mbps. Karachi ranked second, with Rawalpindi close behind in third place. At the lower end, Faisalabad recorded the slowest median speed at 13.77 Mbps, followed by Multan and Peshawar. Across six cities, PTCL Flash Fiber emerged as the fastest provider.
On a regional level, the Islamabad Capital Territory also led the country with a median fixed download speed of 20.21 Mbps. Sindh came in second, while Balochistan secured third place. In contrast, the Federally Administered Tribal Areas reported the weakest performance, with speeds averaging just 5.31 Mbps, followed by Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. PTCL Flash Fiber again proved to be the fastest provider, this time across four regions.
