About PakSpeed

Our Mission

PakSpeed was developed by the creative engineers at WANG (Welfare Association for New Generation) and Urdu AI with a singular vision: to bring a beautiful, lightning-fast, and fully localized internet speed testing tool to Pakistan. We realized that existing global tools lacked proper Urdu translation and failed to give Pakistani users a centralized dashboard comparing local ISPs directly against one another.

Our City Rankings and ISP Comparison pages aim to create total transparency. By combining your real-world speed test results with geographically clustered data, we empower everyday consumers to answer questions like: "Is Zong really faster than Jazz in Lahore?" or "Should I switch to StormFiber in Karachi?"

Methodology

We believe in full transparency about how we measure internet speed. Here is our step-by-step process:

1

Cloudflare Edge CDN

Tests measure the connection between your device and the Cloudflare endpoint selected by network routing. The endpoint may be inside or outside Pakistan; routing and distance affect results.

2

Web Worker Threading

Measurement runs in a browser Web Worker to reduce interference from page updates. Device performance, Wi-Fi, other downloads, and browser limits can still affect the result.

3

Multi-Stream Testing

Parallel download and upload requests estimate the throughput available to this test endpoint at that moment. This is not a guarantee of the speed every website or app will receive.

4

Crowdsourced Data

Public summaries use submitted speed tests. Participation is voluntary, and one person may run several tests. Test counts are not counts of unique people, households, or subscribers.

What We Measure

  1. Ping (Latency): An estimate of round-trip delay to the test endpoint, in milliseconds (ms). Lower is better. Delay to a game or video-call server may be different.
  2. Jitter: Variation between successive latency samples. Lower values indicate more consistent delay during this test; they do not guarantee stability throughout the day.
  3. Download Speed: Measured in Megabits per second (Mbps). How quickly you receive data from the internet. Determines streaming quality, file download times, and page load speeds.
  4. Upload Speed: Also in Mbps. How quickly you send data to the internet. Critical for video calling, live streaming, uploading files, and cloud backups.

Data Transparency

Every test result includes ISP identification (via IP geolocation), city detection, and connection type. We use this data exclusively for:

  • Powering our city rankings and ISP comparisons
  • Contributing to Pakistan's digital divide research
  • Helping users make informed ISP decisions

Why PakSpeed is Different

PakSpeed combines an Urdu and English testing interface with community internet data for Pakistan. Read individual results alongside the test conditions, sample sizes, and dates.

How to interpret our public data

Community samples are self-selected, not a representative national survey. Differences in devices, plans, Wi-Fi, locations, and testing times can change city and ISP averages. A ranking describes the submitted sample, not every customer of that provider. IP-based city and ISP identification can be approximate, particularly on mobile networks and VPNs.

The Internet Pulse uses the rolling 30-day period printed on the page. Its ranked groups require at least 30 tests. Other comparison pages may use a different period; check their labels before comparing figures. The research archive preserves dated snapshots with aggregate downloads and citation details.

One slow result does not establish an outage, throttling, or a broken ISP promise. Repeat at different times, pause other traffic, and compare Wi-Fi with Ethernet where available. The connection health score is a guide derived from measured results, not an independent certification. This test does not directly measure packet loss or delay under load.

Sources and corrections

For research or reporting, cite the dated snapshot and retain its sample-size and coverage caveats. Report suspected data or methodology errors through Contact, including the page URL, date, and the figure in question.

Key Differentiators

The Team

PakSpeed is built and maintained by WALI (WANG Lab of Innovation), the technology arm of WANG (Welfare Association for New Generation). WALI is also behind Urdu AI, Pakistan's Urdu language AI platform with 50,000+ downloads on the Google Play Store.

Leadership

Qaisar Roonjha — CEO & Founder, WALI and Urdu AI. Leading a team of Pakistani engineers committed to bridging the digital divide through accessible, localized technology tools.
