A fault in the submarine cable Tuesday has affected the internet speed in the country after which the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL) started to shift internet traffic to other cables.

According to industry sources, the fault in submarine cable has affected internet speed in the country that will create problems for users at peak hours.
