Pakistan faces crawling internet as fiber optic cable damaged

Lahore (Web Desk): People are facing crawling internet across Pakistan as fiber optic cable damaged after multiple submarine cables go offline.

According to details, at least three submarine cables, connecting Pakistan with rest of the world, have gone offline due to faults.

On Saturday, scores of PTCL users took to Twitter, a social networking site, complaining about the breakdown of internet services. They are also enraged over PTCL help line not attending calls.

The local media reported, the internet speed has been affected throughout Pakistan due to some fault in the submarine cable under the sea near Saudi Arabia.

PTCL General Manager Imran Janjua claimed that internet services have been restored by using alternative routes.
