Sources in the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) have reported that the internet service has been disconnected from the east, as Internet users in the South Asian country are facing significant difficulties while browsing.
Internet users will face slow internet during night hours, said PTA. Meanwhile, PTCL sources said that traffic from the east represents less than 10 percent of the total internet traffic, and they have planned to shift to other sources for smooth browsing.
