It appears that submarine cables connecting Pakistan with outside world are rife with issues these days.
While we know that TransWorld was having troubles for past few days — and since entire traffic was shifted to PTCL — the large amount of traffic caused ended up causing major disruption yesterday.
Today, in a new development, PTCL has made an announcement that one of the international submarine cable systems, SEA-ME-WE 4, has developed a fault.
Company said that this cable system issue might result in degraded customer experience, i.e. slow internet speeds, particularly during peak hours.
PTCL said that the international consortium managing the submarine cable system has initiated the repair work to restore services at the earliest.
PTCL said that it is fully alert of the situation and necessary action to minimize the service impact has already been undertaken. It confirmed that traffic is now being routed through 3 other submarine cable networks that are available to PTCL.
Update:
After commencement of operations of AAE-1, PTCL has said that country’s internet is back to normal.
PTCL, after getting the internet operations back to normal, issued below official statement:
“With reference to the recent fault in the SEA-ME-WE 4 international submarine cable, PTCL using its diverse internet cable network has arranged additional bandwidth and internet services are now back to normal.
PTCL folks reportedly dealt with an international problem — i.e. submarine cut — for the nation within 24 hours.
Pings are too high in games likes CSGo . :(
What is Ping please explain in simple words???

My ptcl is working like dialup pages take ages to load Twitter is not even opening right now I have activated jazz 3g it is on Tw1 network and it is giving much better browsing compared to Ptcl.
My ptcl broadband is working ok in Karachi and giving the same speed as in normal days.
Most of the sites that I’m visiting are giving a DNS error. My one of the sites was giving the same, urgently, I shifted to Cloudflare, it is working fine now, because I observed those sites that are on Cloudflare were working like charm so I decided to do the same! But work all on a VPN!
how to shift to cloudflare sir?
Use Google, Sir! How to install Cloudflare on Wordpress or Blogger!
Any other ISPs affected by this like Wi-Tribe?
WorldCall/Connect as well as WiTribe were both affected, don’t know about other ISPs.
You always think of “gains”– what actually they are? ;)
Ah wrong place :D
Where is AAE1? The cable which was commissioned just days ago, and was reported on yiur page to have capicity of about 45gbps?
bik gai hai gormint
whatever happened to that newly installed and commissioned cable
Valid question, I was thinking of same. With that new 40TB bandwidth added, we must not have such issues. Either its not operational or is not being utilized for some gains.
Yes very slow response from websites
We have three other backups and we still face internet problems???
alhamdulillah…. PTCL se jan chhurwa li he mene
Shifted to what?
Transworld
Sir shifted to as primary on Multinet and as a backup TES (formerly TransWorld)
they also providing residential packages at affordable rates and quality service.
