The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) announced that nationwide internet services will likely remain slow until “early October” due to ongoing repairs on a faulty submarine cable. Internet speeds have significantly declined, affecting users’ ability to send media via WhatsApp and browse efficiently.
While the government denies throttling the internet, the slowdown is because of damaged submarine cables. The business community fears the slow internet could cause substantial economic losses, with potential impacts on multinational companies and the telecom sector. #Pakistan #InternetSlowdown #PTA #EconomicImpact #DigitalServices
