Submarine Fibre Optic one-week repairs shutdown


KARACHI: The system interconnecting Pakistan with the whole world Submarine Fibre Optic Cable seame.we3 will be shutdown for repairs from October 31, 2007 to November 7, 2007.

Senior journalist Zubair Kasuri said that the PTCL has already notified to all the companies providing Internet service across the country in this regard.

PTCL sources told that the Fibre Optic Cable was being closed for repairs near Indonesia, however, the Internet traffic coming to Pakistan from abroad would be transferred on sea-me.we3.

Sources said that the Internet, mobile phone and foreign call services in Pakistan could face difficulties and may cause interruptions in Internet due to the closure of Submarine 3. Nearly 4000 total bandwidth of Pakistan Submarine 4 would be available countrywide, which was highly inadequate and may irk the customers.
