PTCL confirms internet service disrupted across country
The Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) confirmed on Wednesday evening that internet users across Pakistan are facing significant disruptions to their services due to a widespread outage.
According to a PTCL spokesperson, the company’s network is down in various cities, causing disruptions in banking and other government offices.
The spokesperson confirmed that PTCL teams are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
It was reported earlier in the day that Internet services across Pakistan have been significantly disrupted due to faults in the global submarine cables SMW4 and AAE1.
These malfunctions have led to reduced bandwidth, slower internet speeds, and increased latency, particularly during peak hours.
On the other hand, some unconfirmed reports suggest that the internet slowdown is related to the installation of a new internet security network.
The source claims that the firewall is undergoing testing, which is causing the slow internet speeds.
