Internet crashes in Pakistan
I look at it two or three times but its true... but if it was India who would they call for tech support
Officials at Pakistan Telecommunication Ltd, which operates the link, said the fault was in an undersea cable and had been caused by a power supply problem.
Fixing it would entail an interruption for other countries using the link, including India, Dubai and Oman, one company official said.
"To reconfigure the power supply system and set the fault right there needs to be an interruption of up to two hours," said PTCL official Mashkoor Hussain.
But the impact on neighboring countries would be limited and the repairs would begin at 4 a.m. on Wednesday (2300 GMT on Tuesday) to minimize any disruption, he said.
So they will have service interuptions in an hour or so
PTCL provided satellite back-up for the link, which meant some people were able to get access to a very slow Internet connection, Hussain said, but users complained it was too slow to be of any use.
And here we find internet users are all the same. they whine that their extra special back up is to slow.
This is a scary scenario and another reason I am glad to live in the US
