ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Telecommunication Company (PTCL) restored internet capacity after a submarine cable was cut near Alexandria last week.
The loss in bandwidth was enhanced by “a historic global cyber attack” during the same time period, it said.
PTCL said it managed this restoration with the help of its investments in diversified international submarine cable systems.
The company made sure that customers face minimum discomfort in this adverse situation faced by internet users in the region.
On March 26, nearly 50% of Pakistan’s internet traffic faced disruption as SMW4 also referred to as SEA-ME-WE (South East Asia Middle East and Western Europe) – one of the four undersea cables that connects the internet – was damaged.
