Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) has warned internet users that connectivity may slow down or face temporary disruption for up to 18 hours due to maintenance work on the country’s undersea communication network on Tuesday (today).
According to details, PTCL announced that the international cable consortium will carry out repair work on a faulty repeater starting from 11 a.m. on October 14, 2025. The maintenance operation is expected to last around 18 hours.
During this period, users may experience slow browsing speeds, interruptions in video streaming, and temporary connectivity issues.
A PTCL spokesperson said that the company’s engineers are working closely with global partners to minimize inconvenience to users. The spokesperson added that the maintenance is essential for long-term network stability and improved performance.
Experts noted that Pakistan’s digital economy—spanning e-commerce, remote work, online education, and fintech services—relies heavily on internet connectivity, meaning even brief disruptions can affect multiple sectors.
