  "account": "The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has published its latest Fixed Broadband Quality of Service (QoS) Survey report. Conducted between July and September 2026, the survey evaluated 28 operator-location entries across 23 unique broadband providers in 21 cities. All surveyed operators met the required internet speed and latency standards.\n\nOn average, all providers delivered minimum download speeds of 4 Mbps and upload speeds of 2 Mbps, meeting the PTA-set benchmarks. Additionally, every operator maintained latency within prescribed limits: 40 milliseconds for local connections and 110 milliseconds for international terrestrial links. The survey also noted that most operators kept jitter below the limit of 15 milliseconds.\n\nHowever, some locations exhibited network issues. At least in a few areas, bandwidth utilisation exceeded the 80 percent threshold, potentially impacting internet speeds during peak usage times. One provider in Abbottabad fell short of both network availability benchmarks, recording 99.73 percent core network availability (required 99.9 percent) and 97.13 percent access network availability (required 99 percent). Another service in Vehari showed an elevated jitter of 40.61 milliseconds, surpassing the prescribed limit of 15 milliseconds.\n\nThe PTA stated that operators exceeding bandwidth utilisation limits should improve network capacity, while those failing other indicators should implement corrective measures to enhance service quality. The survey adhered to the Fixed Broadband Quality of Service Regulations 2022, covering significant broadband markets throughout Pakistan.",
