The cause of the disruption remains unclear, and many are hoping for a prompt resolution to mitigate the growing impact on daily activities.
Internet services partially disrupted in twin cities, causing widespread inconvenience. Residents of Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan are facing significant disruptions in internet services, with browsing, downloading, and access to social media platforms being severely affected. Users across the twin cities have reported sluggish performance, even when using VPN services, making it difficult to carry out routine online activities.
The partial internet blackout has caused inconvenience in various sectors, including businesses, education, and online services. Many users have complained about delays in communications and work-related tasks, further exacerbating the impact on daily life.
The disruption has also made it challenging for students to attend online classes, and businesses that rely on smooth internet connectivity are facing interruptions in their operations. Social media platforms, which are widely used for both personal and professional purposes, are particularly slow, hindering communication and engagement.
As of now, authorities have not provided an official timeline for the full restoration of services, leaving residents and businesses in uncertainty about when normalcy will return. The cause of the disruption remains unclear, and many are hoping for a prompt resolution to mitigate the growing impact on daily activities.
As per the media reports, the slowdown in social media applications may be linked to a firewall imposed by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA). However, the PTA has not yet confirmed the disruption or provided clarity on the situation.
The government restored internet services in cities like Islamabad and Rawalpindi yesterday after suspending connectivity in some areas for security reasons. Users across the country are now eagerly awaiting updates from the authorities regarding a resolution.
