People who use the internet are having a tough time because a fiber optic cable that connects Singapore to Pakistan and Europe got damaged in multiple places. The damage happened near Indonesia, causing five cuts in the cable. This is making it hard for people in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe to use the internet, especially for things coming from the east.

People are trying to fix the cable, but it’s going to take about a month to get it working again like before. Companies like PTCL and Transworld, who help with internet connections, are having trouble too. Even though PTCL is trying to send internet through other ways, people in Pakistan are still having trouble using the internet, especially in the evening.

This shows how tough it can be for people when something goes wrong with the internet. We’ll have to wait until the cable is all fixed up before things get back to normal.
