The internet users will have to face a deal of inconvenience as the internet speed will be extremely slow from 2pm to 7pm on April 21, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday, quoting Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA).

“The reason behind the slow internet speed on April 21 will be a power reconfiguration activity that will be undertaken on SMW4, a section of international submarine cable,” said the PTA in its tweets.
