Reports indicate that the SEA-ME-WE-5 underwater cable connecting Singapore to Pakistan and Europe has been damaged, causing internet service disruptions in Pakistan. However, PTCL has refuses these claims, stating that their internet traffic has not been affected.
The company’s spokesperson explained that despite the cable breakage, PTCL’s network infrastructure remains intact, ensuring smooth internet services in Pakistan. Industry experts have observed issues like packet drops and slow browsing since Monday, attributed to the cable damage near Indonesia. The SEA-ME-WE-5 cable, which has faced multiple cuts, will take time to repair, leading to disruptions in internet services mainly from the east. Despite these challenges, PTCL’s network is operating efficiently, with any impact on eastbound traffic managed by rerouting through alternative channels.
