Transparency and limitations
How 5GPak collects and presents network data
5GPak keeps operator-published locations, anonymous community availability signals, and public Reddit-derived measurements as separate sources. They answer different questions and are never silently merged into one claim.
Methodology reviewed: 30 August 2026
Provider-published 5G site locations
The site layer contains 932 records from operator-published material retrieved on 7 August 2026: 538 Jazz, 301 Zong, 93 Ufone / Onic.
- Jazz and Zong records retain coordinate values exposed by their published map material.
- Ufone / Onic records were geocoded from provider data and are explicitly labelled as approximate.
- Every feature retains the provider source URL, retrieval date, record identifier, and an accuracy note.
- A site point is not a coverage polygon and does not prove service at a home, street, or device.
Community network availability reports
People can voluntarily submit an operator, an availability state, an issue type, and a location. Reports are rate-limited and grouped into area-level signals.
- Public views show aggregated cells or incident summaries, not a contributor's precise coordinate, fingerprint, or IP-derived identifier.
- Signals require community agreement and expire or move toward recovery when fresh evidence no longer supports an incident.
- These are community observations, not operator-confirmed outage notices or technical service guarantees.
Independent Reddit speed-test sample
The Reddit dataset is a curated snapshot of public r/PakistaniTech source posts supplied in CSV form. It is independent of both operator records and reports submitted directly to 5GPak.
- Measurements may come from an accessible Speedtest result or careful transcription of values visible in a screenshot.
- Only a single attributable cellular result is approved for aggregate statistics; comparisons, fixed-line tests, missing evidence, and ambiguous records remain excluded or in review.
- Map placement uses stated coordinates or a labelled landmark, area, multi-area, or city centroid. It is never represented as the poster's device GPS unless the source explicitly provides that evidence.
- Every record keeps its source post, extraction confidence, review status, placement method, and reviewer note visible.
Corrections, freshness, and responsible use
Network deployments and published source material change. The retrieval date describes this dataset release; it does not mean every operator source was updated that day.
- Verify important coverage, plan, handset, and outage decisions directly with the relevant operator.
- Do not use 5GPak as an emergency communications source.
- Report a source correction or removal concern to privacy@5gpakistan.app with the affected URL or record identifier.
- Material methodology changes should update this page and the sitemap modification date.
