Internet services in Pakistan will likely be disrupted on January 15 due to maintenance work scheduled for one of the country’s submarine cables.
“An unavoidable maintenance activity is planned on one of Pakistan’s submarine cables on January 15, 2026, at around 2 PM, which can last up to 8 hours,” Nayatel informed its customers in an email today.
“This may cause internet slowness across Pakistan. Inconvenience is regretted,” it added. The company did not mention the exact location of any fault that might have persisted on any one of the submarine cables.
If it happens, this will be the second time in two weeks that internet services have degraded. On 1st January 2026, internet outages were first reported due to a problem in one of Pakistan’s upstream providers. During this time, the internet was dirupted across the country for more than two days.
