Stormfiber, an internet service provider (ISP), on Friday announced that its internet services will be fully operational without any disruptions across Pakistan by Monday.
Following disruptions over the past week, internet users on October 20 reported service degradation and slow browsing speeds on certain ISPs, which was once again attributed to a fault in the submarine cable.
In a statement issued today, Stormfiber said: "We expect to fully recover the lost capacity within 72 hours (by 11:59pm on Monday, October 27)," adding that it had "immediately restored over 60% of the affected capacity by procuring and activating additional bandwidth on alternate cables.
"We are continuing to add more capacity and reroute traffic to improve peak-time performance, with newly procured bandwidth coming online via UAE, Oman, and Hong Kong," added the company.
According to the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA), the cables landing in Pakistan are operated by PTCL, Cybernet, and TransWorld Associates.
Undersea cables
Three undersea cable networks operated by the PTCL are:
- Africa, Asia and Europe (AAE-1).
- South-East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe (SMW4).
- India-Middle East-Western Europe (IMEWE).
Stormfiber added that its teams are working around the clock with “international partners to restore full performance and resilience.”
