People in Pakistan often complain about slow internet, dropped signals, and long waits for downloads. But change may finally be on the way.
The government has shared encouraging news: Pakistan is getting connected to three brand-new submarine cables within the next year and a half.
These undersea cables will link Pakistan directly with Europe, giving the country faster, stronger and more reliable internet. Right now, Pakistan depends on a few limited routes for international connectivity.
When there’s a fault in those lines, millions of users across the country face problems. The new connections are expected to solve this issue by providing extra backup and reducing the risk of outages.
Officials from the Ministry of Information Technology say that these projects will expand the overall bandwidth available to Pakistan.
That means better speed for everyday users, more stable video calls, quicker downloads and smoother streaming. Businesses and students who rely heavily on the internet are also expected to benefit.
The projects have already moved forward, with contracts signed and work underway. The ministry believes that once the new cables are active, Pakistan’s internet infrastructure will finally be able to match growing demand.
For years, people have been frustrated with unstable services. But with the promise of three new cables on the horizon, there is hope that Pakistan will soon experience a major improvement in digital connectivity.
If everything goes as planned, the days of slow and unreliable internet in Pakistan could soon be a thing of the past.
