Pakistan: Reduced internet speeds likely to persist nationwide through early October due to repairs on undersea cables

Periods of reduced internet speeds will likely continue in Pakistan through early October following unspecified damage to two undersea cables. In recent weeks, the disruptions have impacted related social media and business services, resulting in significant declines in mobile and broadband internet speeds. While the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has indicated the repairs will take until early October, delays remain possible.

Associated communications and business disruptions are likely to persist until authorities complete repair works.
