Title: Pakistan's Internet Connectivity Abruptly Plummets To 20%

Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/08/19/2332...

Pakistan's internet connectivity dropped to 20% of normal levels Tuesday,
affecting the country's 116 million internet users, according to NetBlocks.
The outage primarily impacted backbone operator PTCL. It's unclear what
caused the outage. The Wireless and Internet Service Providers Association of
Pakistan noted the date coincided with a similar collapse in 2022. Pakistan
suffered $1.62 billion in economic losses from internet disruptions in 2024,
the highest globally. The country confirmed installing a national internet
firewall months earlier.
