The PTCL ITI Connectivity with SMW-4 went down early Monday because of a cable cut in Segment 2.2. International traffic is currently running on a backup via SMW-3, and because of the excess load there, net access speed has started crawling (we’re getting sub 200kbps instead of the regular T1).

Other ISPs who also used PTCL backhaul – such as Nayatel in Islamabad – are also affected.

If someone knows more about progress here, please share in the comments.
