I am a freelancer in Pakistan, providing vital services to clients worldwide. The profusion of slow internet has begun to severely impact my work, leading to frustrated clients and substantial loss of opportunities. As a professional and a concerned citizen, I stand alongside millions of Pakistanis who rely on the internet for their livelihood, education, and daily life needs.

Pakistan currently ranks 159th out of 176 counties in terms of the speed of the internet connection, according to Speedtest Global Index. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority's actions to slow down the internet without offering any viable alternatives undermine our capacity to work in the digital world. More than freelancers, this also affects students who depend on internet for online education, and businesses heavily reliant on the digital space, dramatically impacting our economy’s growth potential.

We urge the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority to alleviate this debilitating issue and take immediate action to restore optimal internet speed. These steps are not merely about comfort and efficiency, but about providing an essential infrastructure for opportunities, growth, and prosperity. With this plea, we reach out to everyone standing with the cause because faster internet is not a luxury, it is a necessity in today's digital era. Sign the petition to support our plea to restore internet speed in Pakistan.
