The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has promptly responded to concerns raised about the recent slowdown of internet services across the country.
The PTA spokesperson has assured the public that complaints related to internet slowdown are currently under investigation, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring a seamless online experience for users.
According to the spokesperson, the overall situation of internet accessibility across the nation appears to be normal. The PTA has urged the media to act responsibly and exercise caution in disseminating any unconfirmed news or statuses regarding internet disruption, emphasizing the importance of accurate reporting to avoid unnecessary panic.
Disruptions in social media networks and internet services during the last night caused distress among users in various cities. The downtime experienced on popular platforms such as Facebook, the equivalent of X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube posed challenges for users seeking to access their online resources.
Additionally, the users reported a slowdown in internet speed, which impacted users’ access to other websites. Users reported disruptions beginning after 8 PM last night, and concerns lingered throughout the late hours as internet speeds remained frustratingly slow.
Netblocks, the platform for mapping internet freedom in real-time, also reported nationwide disruption to social media platforms across Pakistan.

We all know the reason.
PTA shouldn’t waste their energy to investigate.
PTI launched a massive campaign to generate money for Western Social media platforms. This huge traffic will benefit Facebook, Twitter (X), Instagram and YouTube. Every social media campaign is benefiting Western platforms.
Well done PTI for a fund raising campaign for them.
The PTA has urged the media to act responsibly but itself is not acting the same due to external well known pressure.

There was a wise man who used to say these corrupt ruling elite of Pakistan have destroyed all national institutions & Alhamdulillah today each & every institution is verifying his saying. A true definition of a banana republic.

I don’t think this “surprise” slowdown had the effect it was supposed to have. See Streisand effect.
PTI > PTA
The response by PTA is totally wrong…crap.. People of Pakistan & abroad all knew that this was done deliberately.

جب بھی پاکستان تحریک انصاف جلسہ کرنا چاھے یا ورکرز کنونشن کرنا چاھے یا کارنر میٹنگ کا اعلان کرے،تو حکومت کی نیندیں اڑ جاتی ھیں۔ پتی نہیں کہ نگران حکومت کو پی ٹی آئ کے جلسوں اور ورکرز کنونشنز سے کیا مسلہ ھے؟ کسی پارٹی کی حکومت ھو تو پھر بہی ایسے ھتکنڈوں کا تک بنتا ھے لیکن برائے نام نگران(اصل میں ن لیگ) حکومت عوام کو ملک سے کیوں متنفر کر رہی ھے؟ یہ لوگ تو چند دنوں کے مھمان ھیں پھر یہ یزیدیت کیوں؟
