Pakistan's initial 5G network trials in Q2 2026 yielded an average download speed of 127.74 megabits per second, according to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority's Mobile Network Experience Benchmarking Report. Upload speeds averaged 12.7 Mbps, while video experience scored 67.33 out of 100, and games experience scored 62.05 out of 100.
Despite the higher speeds, users only spent 3.95 percent of the measured time connected to 5G networks. PTA emphasized that the time-on-network figure represents the proportion of time users have a mobile data connection in frequently visited locations, not the network's geographical coverage. The authority cautioned that Pakistan's 5G rollout is still in the early stages, with limited coverage and a small user base.
The results, based on independent measurements from Opensignal over a 90-day period, should not be considered a definitive assessment of overall 5G performance in the country. Comparatively, the national average 4G download speed was 18.9 Mbps across all devices and 31.3 Mbps on high-end devices, with an average upload speed of 5.32 Mbps.
