Submarine cable fault may cause intermittent internet disruption: PTA

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) reported intermittent internet disruptions due to a fault in the SEA-ME-WE 5 submarine cable, with Transworld Associates (TWA) working to resolve the issue. Traffic is being rerouted to minimize impact, and a new SEA-ME-WE 6 cable with 100 terabit-per-second capacity has recently been deployed in Pakistan.
