Akamai's Edge Delivery service experienced timeouts and performance degradation in Pakistan for approximately 85 hours, caused by a submarine cable issue affecting traffic to and from the region. Akamai mitigated the impact by implementing network changes to reroute traffic away from the affected infrastructure while the ISP worked on the underlying cable problem. The service was confirmed fully restored to normal operation at 04:20 UTC on July 2, 2026.
