The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) announced on Thursday that they are monitoring a disruption in internet traffic caused by a fault in the SEA-ME-WE 5 (SMW5) international submarine cable system. They cautioned that some users might experience occasional drops in internet quality and connectivity.
According to the PTA, this fault could lead to periodic service degradation for certain internet users.
“The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority is actively monitoring the disruption in internet traffic due to an issue with the SEA-ME-WE 5 (SMW5) submarine cable. As a result, some users may face intermittent declines in service quality and connection,” the agency stated.
The regulator also noted that Transworld Associates (TWA) is collaborating with the SMW5 consortium to diagnose the root cause of the fault and estimate the time needed for service recovery.
Meanwhile, efforts are underway to reroute internet traffic through alternative international links to reduce the impact and maintain service continuity.
“PTA remains in regular contact with relevant stakeholders and continues to closely oversee the situation to ensure the earliest restoration of internet services nationwide,” the statement concluded.
