Internet Speeds May Slow at Peak Hours Until 2 November

PTCL says internet speed in Pakistan may be slower during peak hours until 2 November. The internet speed notice ties that possibility to emergency maintenance on the AAE-1 international submarine cable between Italy and France.

The update does not say every hour will be slower, and it does not say the connection will stop. It says users may face slower speeds, during peak hours, until 2 November.

Why the internet speed may drop at peak hours

The cable named is AAE-1, an international submarine cable. The stretch under maintenance is between Italy and France. The work is described as emergency maintenance. PTCL is the company that has put the notice out. The window runs until 2 November, and the slower period named is peak hours.

Our verdict

Pakistan's internet users may see slower peak-hour speeds until 2 November while emergency maintenance is carried out on the AAE-1 cable between Italy and France. That is PTCL's notice, and it is limited to peak hours.
