How to increase your Zong internet speed

Here are some useful solutions on how to increase your Zong internet speed:

Use right network mode

Your smartphone or modem has various network modes like 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, and even 5G (in rare urban locations).

It is worth noting that if your device is in automatic network mode, it may toggle between slower options depending on signal strength. This can drastically reduce your Zong internet speed.

To lock your phone to the best available mode:

For Android

Go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Preferred Network Type, then select LTE only.

For iOS

Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Voice & Data, then select 4G.

Optimise your APN settings

Your phone connects to Zong’s network using Access Point Name (APN) settings, which dictate how your device communicates with the internet.

To ensure your settings are optimised:

For Android

Go to Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Select the current Zong APN or create a new one.

Use the following configuration:

Name: Zong Internet
APN: zonginternet
MCC: 410
MNC: 04
Authentication Type: None
APN Type: Default

For iPhone

Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Network, and input the same APN: zonginternet.
