Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) on Saturday said that internet users in the country may experience disruptions due to submarine cable cuts in Saudi waters near Jeddah.
According to the company, the cuts occurred near Jeddah, affecting partial bandwidth capacity on the SMW4 and IMEWE systems, two of the key undersea cables that connect the country to global networks.
A PTCL spokesperson said international partners are working on priority to restore the damaged links, while local teams are arranging alternative bandwidth to mitigate the impact on users.
“We sincerely appreciate our customers’ patience and understanding during this time,” the spokesperson added.
