ISLAMABAD: A fault in the submarine cable has affected the internet speed across Pakistan on Tuesday.
As per the details, the fault occurred in the TransWorld 1 (TW1) cable at a distance of almost 400 km off the coast of Pakistan. The TW1 cable system spans 1,300 km connecting Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
“Internet services could cause disruption across Pakistan due to a cut reported in TransWorld 1 (TW1) submarine cable system,” the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said in a statement.
