Pak: Online tools contradict govt's claims of uninterrupted internet services
The Business Guardian
|December 03, 2024
At least two online tools have refuted the government's claims of uninterrupted internet services and reported widespread issues faced by internet users while they tried to use social media websites.
According to data analysed from these tools, which track network stability and monitor internet outages in real time, found that internet users were not able to access or had limited access to several social media services on Sunday, Dawn reported.
These internet disruptions lasted for hours, according to Internet Outage Detection and Analysis (IODA), a tool developed by the Internet Intelligence Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The tool, which measures internet connectivity and detects outages found that the network remained stable at the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) level throughout the day.
