This week, internet users in the country faced major difficulties — for several days, the internet was very slow or repeatedly down. The reason given was that there was a malfunction in AWS (Amazon Web Services) worldwide, but experts say that was not the only issue. There was also a problem with Pakistan's own submarine cable system, which mostly runs near Karachi.
As a result of this malfunction, internet speeds decreased, videos were not playing, and there were disruptions in online classes, banking, and business operations. Experts say that Pakistan now needs to strengthen and secure its internet network so that the failure of one cable does not affect the entire country.
In short — one malfunction has proven how fragile our internet system is, and improving it is now a necessity of time.
