93% receive water from an "improved source" i.e. mainly piped water, public tap, tube well or bore hole. 90% use that water without boiling, filtering or otherwise treating it.
Mobile phones and TVs are the most widely owned appliances in Pakistani homes more so than refrigerators.
In urban areas 17% have internet access. In rural areas 1.3%. Overall around 7%.

Also featured on ET: 87% of Pakistani households own cellphones, only 6.8% have internet connection: survey – The Express Tribune
And of course the mobile phone distributors will tell you that 80-85% of the phones sold here are feature phones costing 2-3k.
Pakistan would be better off if we had an Internet boom rather than just a mobile phone boom. Maybe after the 3G rollout whenever that happens
