Islamabad (2 July 2026): The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) is closely monitoring internet traffic disruption caused by a fault in the SEA-ME-WE 5 (SMW5) international submarine cable system. As a result, some internet users may experience intermittent degradation in service quality and connectivity.
Trans word Associate ( TWA) is coordinating with the SMW5 Consortium to identify the root cause of the fault and determine the estimated time for restoration (ETTR). In the meantime, internet traffic is being rerouted through alternate international links to minimize the impact and ensure service continuity to the greatest extent possible.
PTA remains in close coordination with the concerned stakeholders and will continue to monitor the situation to facilitate the earliest possible restoration of normal internet services across the country.
