Pakistanis in some areas are facing internet slowdowns due to a malfunction in the SMW4, a critical submarine cable connecting the country to the global internet. PTA confirmed the issue and assured users they are working on a resolution.

According to a PTA spokesperson, the SMW4 fault might cause slower internet speeds, particularly during peak usage times. An international company responsible for maintaining the cable is actively investigating the problem’s location and nature to implement repairs.

PTA is closely monitoring the situation and prioritizing the restoration of internet broadband services. However, users in affected areas may experience temporary connection issues until repairs are complete.
