Fibre optic cable connecting Singapore to Pakistan & Europe cut

 

Damaged sea cables caused widespread internet outages in Pakistan on Friday (Apr 27), according to ARY News. The fiber optic cable that connects Singapore to Pakistan and Europe was discovered broken at multiple spots.
The fiber optic cable connecting Singapore to Pakistan and Europe was destroyed near Indonesia at various locations, impacting internet service in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe.
According to people familiar with the issue, five breaks in the fiber optic underwater cable severely affected internet services, particularly those routed from the east. The restoration operation is expected to take roughly one month to fully patch the fibre optic cable to its original condition. However, both PTCL and Transworld are having eastbound traffic issues.
With fewer than 10% of internet traffic coming from the east, Pakistani consumers have experienced difficulty accessing the internet, particularly in the evenings.
To lessen the impact, PTCL has diverted internet traffic from the eastern direction to alternate routes. Nevertheless, until the fiber optic line is completely fixed, customers may still have difficulties.
