Major Submarine Cable That Connects Pakistan Has Gone Offline

Posted 11 hours ago by ProPK Staff

IMEWE is reportedly offline and any data transmission on the this international submarine cable that carries major portion of Pakistan’s internet traffic is currently not available for service, we have checked with sources.

​

Just in case if you are wondering, IMEWE isn’t the only cable that connects Pakistan to outside world, however, it carries major portion of country’s bandwidth. And hence its outage could degrade internet services for the consumers in the country.
It must be mentioned here that ISPs load balance the bandwidth during such outages, however, the overall demand is met with shortage of bandwidth that leaves a negative impact on internet speeds and user experience.

According to sources, who wanted to rumain unnamed, there is currently no deadline or ETA available for the restoration of IMEWE cable.
While it is too early to estimate any timeline, the full restoration could take hours, if not days.

Pakistan is currently connected with outside world through several submarine cables, but as mentioned above, IMEWE-3 carries major portion (almost 20 percent) of Pakistan’s international bandwidth.
Given the frequent outages on existing limited submarine cables, Pakistan needs to build additional submarine cables to develop redundancy and also to meet growing bandwidth capacity demand. One such cable could be PEACE.
PEACE Cable is currently being deployed and is likely to go live in next few quarters.

PEACE Cable will come with a design capacity of 96 terabits per second, which would be more than double of our current bandwidth capacity.

So this happens shortly after the announcement of cable to be laid from Pindi to Gwadar and then to Africac/Europe.

International establishment at it again. This has happened before and most of our cable comes from India.

Agreed. Raw with ajit doval at it.
Probably cut the cable with nail cutters.
You guys need to get a new cable under cpec from China.
The internet will be limited but Chinese apps are also good ...copies.

We are getting unlimited and unrestricted network from China already. Operational Cable already laid to Rawalpindi and network for rest of the country being laid. We won't need cables from India or anyone else anymore - good riddance!

You are luckier than the Chinese.

Pakistan, Africa and other countries will apply their own filters. What China restricts inside her territory doesn't apply to us, such as facebook twitter etc.

What we will get is the China's cyber security infrastructure to block cyber attacks - Indian scum can cry over that

What happened to Chinese product ban in India? Smashed a few old TVs and restarted trading ... Indian Hindus always bow when a danda is inserted!

Stuff like this (underseal cables snapping/developing a glitch) does happen sometimes. Slower speeds for a bit but full functionality is generally restored within a few hours, at least here in India.

You are luckier than the Chinese.

and you idiot posted without even having any knowledge of the subject?

Modi effect?

Internet In Pakistan Disrupted Due to Submarine Cable Cut

Posted 2 mins ago by ProPK Staff

Internet services in Pakistan are currently deteriorated as a major submarine cable connecting Pakistan to outside world is offline.

​

According to details shared with ProPakistani, SEA-ME-WE-5 went offline earlier today due to a fault that was developed near Cairo, Egypt.

Not to mention, SEA-ME-WE-5 carries major portion of Pakistan’s internet traffic. It has a design capacity of 24Tbps, which essentially serves almost half of Pakistan’s international bandwidth needs.
Internet companies are in process of communicating their customers about the service issues, as the submarine cable has gone offline.

There is no ETA available on when the submarine cable could be up and running again, but from sources we can confirm that the rectification process could take up to 15 days.

This is a second submarine cable that developed fault with-in a week as IMEWE was disconnected just few days ago.

This calls for more submarine cables for the country to add redundancy for for the growing needs of dynamic Pakistani internet market.

Pdf is also banned in China which makes me wonder where these chinese flag bearer on this forum are actually from.

Second thing, Chinese cyber security infrastructure will not prevent cyber attacks on you but spy on you instead.

As the famous saying goes, we are 'brothers'. It's a family setup and nothing is hidden ... Indians are excluded from an opinion and shouldn't drown themselves in such tensions either

Pdf is also banned in China

It's because you Indians are allowed a lot of freedom here to post propaganda.
