Pace Telecom, Falcon Broadband flagged in PTA quality survey
The regulator's July–September survey found weak upload speeds, congestion and latency at several providers, and Multinet's Rawalpindi unit scored 25% on user-end tests.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) surveyed fixed broadband operators in July to September 2026 and found multiple breaches of its quality rules.
The user-end survey covered 12 operators in 15 cities. The network-end survey covered 23 operators across 21 cities.
Multinet's Rawalpindi operation met only two of eight user-end indicators, a compliance score of 25%.
Falcon Broadband's Vehari network recorded jitter of 40.61 milliseconds against a 15 millisecond maximum.
Operators must take corrective steps, and the PTA will run follow-up tests to check whether the faults are fixed.
