Pakistanis are facing ongoing disruptions as internet services across the country have significantly slowed down.
The slowdown has caused widespread issues with social media and online work, affecting platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, which are either suspended or operating at reduced speeds. This has left many users frustrated with limited access.
The disruption reportedly began on Saturday night and continues to impact internet services, including PTCL and Google, hindering both personal communication and professional activities. Users have faced difficulties, particularly with downloading content on WhatsApp.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has not yet issued a statement regarding the cause of the outage, leaving the reasons behind the slowdown unclear. This has further fueled public frustration amid ongoing concerns about internet reliability.
The slowdown follows reports that the government has installed a firewall to monitor anti-state content on social media platforms, which may be contributing to the issue.
