Internet services across Pakistan are likely to face further disruption in the coming days, particularly during evening hours, as repair work continues on a damaged submarine cable.
According to sources, users may experience slow speeds and interruptions during peak hours, with similar issues already reported in recent days. The disruption is expected to persist until repair work is completed.

A spokesperson for Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited said the marine cable repair process has started and will continue until April 20, adding that an international consortium is working to fix the fault.
The spokesperson said internet speeds are expected to remain slow during evening hours until the issue is resolved, as bandwidth capacity remains affected during the repair period.
The situation is likely to coincide with the government’s recently announced peak-hour power cuts, under which electricity supply is being suspended daily between 5:00 PM and 1:00 AM for around two to two and a half hours to manage demand.
Officials said the combined impact of load shedding and reduced internet capacity during evening hours may create difficulties for users across the country, particularly for those relying on stable connectivity for work and communication.
Authorities have advised users to expect slower internet speeds during peak hours until the marine cable repair work is completed.
