PTA says Transworld has successfully shifted international traffic over to SMW5 and is planning on increasing bandwidth to SMW5 within the next 48 hours.
According to a PTA spokesperson, the Consortium that manages TW-1 will soon announce the date for the TW-1 link’s restoration. It should be noted that the cable has still not been restored after more than 26 hours.
On Monday evening, a cable cut in the TWI submarine cable was reported, causing internet speeds in Pakistan to suffer. The cable cut was reported in the TransWorld submarine cable system at a distance of about 400 kilometres off the coast of Pakistan, according to PTA. The outage of international bandwidth caused by this fault has resulted in a degradation of internet services for Transworld users.
The consortium in charge of TW-1, according to a PTA spokesperson, is working to identify the fault and its severity, after which a restoration date will be announced.
