The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority said on Friday that they are working to resolve the internet disruption problem in the country after an “issue” had been reported in the data networks between the South and North regions.
“As reported by the Pakistan Telecommunication Company Ltd (PTCL), [an] issue has been reported in data networks between South and North which is causing internet connectivity issues.
“This issue is being investigated. The PTA is monitoring the situation and further updates will be shared,” the authority said.
The PTCL said that the optical fibre network is experiencing some technical faults due to heavy rains and floods.
As a result, it added that the PTCL users in the Northern and Central regions are facing internet outages.
The statement came after users across the country reported facing internet outages, with #internetdown being one of the top trends on Twitter around 11am.
Prior to this, internet services across Pakistan suffered in February after one of the two undersea cables operated by TransWorld was damaged near Karachi.
