Slow Internet Across Pakistan: Issues with SMW3, SMW4 + Flag

post Category: Uncategorized post postDecember 19, 2008

I have just recieved Email from Micronet saying that there are connectivity issues going on with SMW-3, SMW-4 and FLAG, thus all Pakistani internet users are facing degraded Internet services. They are not sure, as of now, about the cause of these issues; however Both TWA and PTCL are working with their international counterparts to get this issue discovered and resolved as soon as possible.

Slow browsing, poor throughput and high latency problems are being experienced through Pakistan by Dial-up and Broadband users alike.

At the moment, there is no timeline when this will be fixed but we expect this to be fixed within the next few hours.

Mainly SMW4 is damaged which interupted internet services in Dubai also. Etisalat took 1 hour to put whole UAE bandwith on backup backbone. waiting for updates how long it could take to rectify…………..
