Slow Internet is due to Submarine cables: PTA

It is to inform to the general public that the ongoing internet slowdown and degradation of services across the country are due to fault in two of the seven international submarine cables connecting Pakistan internationally. The AAE-1 cable has experienced a 250G outage due to rerouting between Iran and Qatar, similarly SMW 4 cable (1.5T) has been out of service due to faults near Karachi. Operators are re-routing traffic on other available cables to minimize the impact on internet users in Pakistan. – PTA

Hello! My name is Farhan Abro, and I'm based here in Islamabad. My journey in Pakistan's digital media really kicked off when I founded INCPak back in 2012. We built it from the ground up, driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, to be a trusted voice for independent journalism. But while media is a big part of who I am, I'm also shaped by a fascinating mix of other passions. I'm deeply into automotive, which gives me a technical edge, but I also find my artistic expression through landscape photography and music. And I'm always diving into the exciting world of Artificial Intelligence. Bringing all these different worlds together the technical, the creative, the journalistic, and the entrepreneurial—it really colors how I see things and approach every project. It gives me a distinct perspective that I try to bring to everything I share
