PTCL says internet speed, connectivity restored nationwide
Network now functioning optimally, and overall online access for consumers improved, remarks state-owned company
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) on Wednesday announced the successful completion of repair work on a repeater installed in an undersea cable.
The maintenance operation began on the morning of 14 October, led by the International Cable Consortium.
Following the repair, internet service speed and connectivity across the country have been fully restored, the telecommunication company said. It also assured users that the network is now functioning optimally, improving overall online access for consumers nationwide.
The PTCL had announced possible degradation or partial disruption in internet services due to maintenance work on one of its submarine cables.
In a statement issued on Monday, the PTCL spokesperson had said that an international cable consortium has scheduled the repair of a faulty repeater installed within the submarine cable system.
Pakistan has faced repeated internet disruptions, including due to submarine cable faults. Authorities have pledged stronger connectivity in the coming months and announced plans to roll out 5G services, initially in several major cities.
