Pakistan is experiencing a significant internet slowdown, disrupting businesses and daily life. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) blames the issue on damage to a submarine cable, expected to be fixed by August 28. The slowdown has caused frustration nationwide, with some speculating that a national firewall is being installed, which the PTA denies. The Lahore High Court is demanding clearer explanations, while the PTA also pointed to a major ISP error and VPN usage as contributing factors. Additionally, the PTA claimed Indian interference worsened the situation, though no evidence has been provided.
