Internet users across Pakistan reported slow browsing and connection issues after Nayatel confirmed a fault in one of its two main upstream providers. The disruption affected browsing, streaming, and online work, leaving many frustrated.
According to Nayatel, the problem started when one of its upstream networks which provides a large part of internet bandwidth — developed a technical fault. With only one provider handling the load, traffic slowed down across the country.
The company assured its customers that repair teams are working with the provider to restore services. Until then, users may continue to face delays and reduced speeds.
Internet experts note that Pakistan’s network infrastructure is highly dependent on a few international links. This means any fault or break in these connections can cause widespread disruption, as seen in this case.
Nayatel has apologized to its users and promised regular updates until the service is fully stable again.
