The breakdown in the international underwater cable system AAE-1, which provides internet to Pakistan, had slowed down internet services in many countries, including Pakistan, but the cable has now been repaired.
Announcing the update on the official Twitter site, PTA said that a submarine cable fault was reported yesterday near Fujairah, United Arab Emirates, which caused some customers to have problems with the service. And full services will be restored soon.
PakTelecommunication Company Limited PTCL is working with the International Submarine Consortium to restore the Internet situation in the country. In view of the breakdown in one of the international cables connecting to the world, alternative arrangements have been made by the concerned service providers to provide uninterrupted internet services to the customers through additional bandwidth.
It should be noted that according to the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, about 102 million people in Pakistan use 3G and 4G internet, while the number of fixed line internet connections is close to 104 million. The number of perpetrators ranges from 46 to 49 percent.
