Islamabad web desk …The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said on Saturday that there is no degradation of internet services across the country anymore after the issue was addressed through the incorporation of a temporary bandwidth into the system.
“[…] to address the issue of degradation of Internet services due to fault in AAE1 submarine cable on January 2, 2025 ad hoc bandwidth has been arranged and added in the system,” the authority said in a brief statement.
The statement read that the PTA is actively overseeing the restoration efforts for the AAE-1 submarine cable and is committed to ensuring that all services remain stable during this period.
The authority had revealed last week said that the internet and broadband users may experience disruptions as submarine cable AAE-1 near Qatar developed fault.
The fault was reported in the submarine cable AAE-1 near Qatar — one of the seven international undersea cables connecting Pakistan for international internet traffic.
Pakistan has been grappling with slow internet since last year, with the government consistently blaming submarine cable faults, while reports hint at possible experimentation with a “firewall” by authorities.
