Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has been recognised as home to the best fixed internet network in Pakistan, according to the Ookla® Speedtest Connectivity Report for the second half of 2025. This achievement highlights PTCL’s growing strength in broadband services and its continued efforts to improve connectivity across the country.
The report shows that PTCL’s Flash Fiber recorded the highest overall Speedtest Connectivity Score among fixed internet service providers (ISPs) in the country, with a score of 61.73, making it the top-performing fixed network during the study period.
Although another ISP, Transworld, led in pure speed performance with a median download speed of 34.86 Mbps and upload speed of 30.5 Mbps, PTCL’s balanced performance across key metrics earned it the highest overall rating for network quality and reliability.
Ookla’s evaluation covers millions of real-world tests conducted by users across Pakistan. It measures not only raw download and upload speeds but also overall consistency, latency, and user experience. PTCL’s Flash Fiber stood out for delivering dependable internet performance for everyday activities such as video streaming, online work, gaming, and browsing.
The report also highlights other achievements in Pakistan’s connectivity landscape. Zong led mobile networks for gaming performance, while cities like Islamabad recorded the fastest fixed median download speeds among urban centres nationwide.
PTCL’s broadband portfolio includes a range of high-speed services with options such as GPON fiber optic connectivity, VDSL, and DSL connections that offer customers both high performance and flexibility. These services cater to households, businesses, and online gamers with packages supporting up to 100 Mbps speeds and unlimited data plans.
This recognition from Ookla comes as PTCL continues to evolve as a key telecom player in Pakistan. Beyond fixed broadband, PTCL also manages a wide network of telecommunication services that include Smart TV, voice services, and enterprise digital solutions. The company has long played a central role in building connectivity infrastructure nationwide.
Experts believe that this benchmark achievement can boost consumer confidence in fixed broadband and encourages further investment in fiber infrastructure across Pakistan. As internet usage grows for remote work, education, and business, networks such as PTCL Flash Fiber will remain crucial for the country’s digital development.
