PTCL Resolves AAE-1 Cable Outage, Fully Restores Internet Services Across Pakistan

Islamabad: Pakistan Telecommunications Limited (PTCL) has announced the complete restoration of internet services following a fault in the Asia-Africa-Europe-1 (AAE-1) submarine cable, which caused significant disruptions to internet connectivity across Pakistan. PTCL quickly tackled the issue of internet slowness, ensuring that operations were fully restored and allowing people to browse the internet without any interruptions.

The AAE-1 undersea cable system extends an impressive twenty-five thousand kilometers, connecting Pakistan to various regions across Asia, Africa, and Europe through fiber-optic technology. This resulted in a sluggish internet connection and impacted services for users in Pakistan. Shortly thereafter, PTCL resolved the issue by acquiring additional bandwidth, ensuring that the inconvenience was minimized and the experience remained manageable.
