Minister Exposes Poor Network Performance of Telcos – Do You Agree?
As a citizen of Pakistan and traveling to different cities recently, I would say that telecom companies in Pakistan have much to improve. There are places (not far away) where you even don’t get any service for voice calls or texts. One such place is in Adhore in Mansehra district. A few other places include Mardan, Swabi, Nowshera, Charsadda, etc. Moreover, even on the M1 motorway, there are places where you don’t even have network coverage for voice calls and texts. What is more shocking is that even in the capital city of Islamabad, there are places where mobile internet performance is below par.
The national telecom regulator (PTA) should visit the aforementioned places to conduct QoS surveys to get a clear picture. There are talks about launching 5G in Pakistan, however, our telecom providers have failed to provide basic quality network coverage in many regions of the country.
It was also pointed out recently by Federal Minister of Information Technology and Telecommunication Syed Amin Ul Haque. He said that telcos should be heavily penalized for not improving the quality of telecom services in the country.
During his briefing to the National Assembly Committee on IT & Telecom, the minister asserted that the telecom companies must be working diligently and change their attitude to improve the quality of telecom services in the country. He also demanded heavier fines for telcos who aren’t taking the appropriate steps in this regard.

I’ve used all networks in search of bett per internet connection, I pay 2000+ pkr every month for internet package, complained to PM portal, PTA and what not,no action ever.
This country is a mess now, killing an insect is same as killing a man, so where do you think will someone care to take action on your complaint against a service provider? Do you have consumer rights in this country? Let’s talk about human rights first,well,you don’t have any kind of rights here. they’re are planning to launch 5g ,well I don’t think we have proper 3G in Pakistan. jungle ka qanoon
