Internet services across the country remain partially disrupted, causing significant inconvenience to users. Residents in various cities are facing difficulties with browsing, downloading, and accessing popular social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram. Even with the use of VPN services, the performance of these applications remains sluggish.
The disruption has had a considerable impact on multiple sectors, including business, education, and online services. Users have reported delays in completing tasks and maintaining communication, making daily life challenging.
According to sources, the slowdown in social media applications may be linked to a firewall imposed by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA). However, the PTA has not yet confirmed the disruption or provided clarity on the situation.
The government restored internet services in cities like Islamabad and Rawalpindi yesterday after suspending connectivity in some areas for security reasons. Users across the country are now eagerly awaiting updates from the authorities regarding a resolution to the ongoing issues.
