The fault in the global submarine cable AAA-1, detected on January 2 near Qatar, remains unresolved even after two weeks, leading to slow internet services in various cities across Pakistan.
A spokesperson for Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) stated that the fault has impacted users’ ability to access social media apps and web browsing efficiently. Despite efforts to address the issue, social media platforms continue to experience slowness during peak hours.
To mitigate the impact, internet traffic has been rerouted through alternative channels, and additional bandwidth has been arranged to stabilize the service.
“Internet service across the country is operating normally, and there will be no issues with web browsing,” the PTCL spokesperson assured, adding that the slowness in social media applications is expected during high-traffic periods.
