The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) announced on Thursday evening that a fault has been reported in the submarine cable AAE-1 near Qatar, one of the seven international undersea cables connecting Pakistan to global internet traffic. The disruption may affect internet and broadband services across the country.
In an official statement, the telecom regulator informed the public about the issue, stating, “A fault has been reported in the submarine cable AAE-1 near Qatar. This may impact internet and broadband user experience across Pakistan.”
PTA assured users that the concerned teams are actively working to resolve the fault. The authority is closely monitoring the situation and has pledged to keep telecom users updated as progress is made.
The AAE-1 cable is a critical component of Pakistan’s international internet connectivity, and disruptions in such infrastructure often lead to slower internet speeds and connectivity issues for users nationwide.
