SMW4 has Got Down – Internet Traffic May see Halts

Submarine Cable connecting dozens of countries, SMW4 has been cut down near Egypt in its Segment-3 between Suez – Alexendria.

Due to this cut, Internet Service Providers in Pakistan are experiencing packet loss and delay problems in their uplink service providers; hence internet users in Pakistan may face latency, or delays while surfing the internet, especially while downloading files.

National internet traffic will see a shift towards SMW3 – so no major blackout expected.

Updates are awaited regarding the rectification.

  • Yea it was like that for few hours but i didn’t pay any notice and then in the end called my ISP and they told me about this but it seems to be fine now because they said they were shifting it to another cable !
