KOTLI (Kashmir English): The Internet services provided by Special Communications Organisation (SCO) and private organizations face internet disruption, remain unstable, which causes problems for users. Internet disruption forces customers to endure frustrating internet usage because data package purchases do not provide the usual benefits despite paying for expensive services.
The continuous public protests against this situation have failed to lead to any substantial progress. Several modern technological advancements keep occurring all around the world, yet residents of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) face ongoing problems obtaining consistent internet service.
The problem affects people in a manner that goes beyond typical inconveniences. Many young people now seek work in the IT sector because unemployment has hit the market, which allows them to work from different companies at a distance. Professional productivity along with revenue suffers substantially because of unreliable connections to the internet, which has become the main cause of stress for these professionals. The situation makes it difficult for individuals to succeed at work. The lack of dependable connectivity prevents many people from finishing their work, which creates doubts about electronic work possibilities in this region.
Public stress and anxiety continue to increase because of the crisis as the public demands urgent solutions. The public demands that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) should force cellular service companies to enhance their services while holding them accountable. Professional and public demonstrations and workplace occupations will become necessary to force service providers into taking corrective action because no quick changes have been made.
The dismay of the public community continues to grow as telecom companies offer expensive packages but fail to deliver quality service to their consumers. Customers feel their money is not worth the service they receive, which increases their sense of resentment.
Sources suggest that if the issue is not resolved promptly, protests are likely to take place in the coming days. The increasing dissatisfaction among consumers signals an important moment for internet service providers and authorities to address these concerns before the situation gets worse.
