As per a survey conducted by the Pakistan telecommunication Authority (PTA) in country’s major cities of Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Peshawar, Zong was the frontrunner with 7.71 Mbps of average 3G speeds on its network. Whereas, Mobilink's average 3G speed stood at 5.04 Mbps and speed of other two mobile operators Ufone and Telenor is averaging below 2 Mbps.
