It is pertinent to mention that internet users in Pakistan often face disruptions due to persistent submarine cable faults.
In April, PTCL users faced some internet problems. At the time, a spokesperson for PTCL said that the repair process would continue until April 20.
The spokesperson added that users might experience slow internet speeds during evening hours. The fault was addressed by an international consortium responsible for fixing the marine cable.
