Slow internet speed reduces 70pc work of freelancers

The sluggish internet speed across Pakistan has significantly affected freelancers, with reports suggesting a 70% reduction in the work they receive.

Freelancers claim they face difficulties meeting deadlines due to slow connectivity, resulting in some losing their profiles on platforms.

The ongoing internet issues have also disrupted the digital marketing sector, raising concerns that international clients might shift to countries like Bangladesh, India, or others if the situation persists.

Sources indicate that the internet’s slow pace continues to hamper productivity nationwide, impacting multiple sectors reliant on online operations.

Experts urge an immediate resolution of these issues to prevent further damage to Pakistan’s growing freelance economy.
