ISLAMABAD:

The PTA said on Thursday it was "closely monitoring" internet services following a fault in the SEA-ME-WE 5 (SMW5) international submarine cable, warning that users could experience intermittent degradation in service quality and connectivity.

The authority noted that Transworld Associates (TWA) was coordinating with the SMW5 consortium to "identify the root cause of the fault" and determine the estimated time for restoration.

According to its website, TWA is the only private-sector operator with exclusive ownership of submarine fibre-optic cable systems.
