Internet may be disrupted for 6 days

Internet service in the country may face temporary disruptions for 6 days due to the maintenance work of submarine cable. Internet users may experience slower speeds during this period as the authorities concerned will keep the service running through alternative arrangements.
“The SEA-ME-WE-4 Consortium would carry out maintenance work of the undersea cable at its Singapore end from 12am of October 22 to 2pm of October 27 that may disrupt internet service temporarily in the country,” Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) Director (Public Relations and Publication) Meer Mohammad Morshed said.
“But, the internet service would be kept on through alternative arrangement during the period,” he added. He, however, hoped that internet users in the country would not face any major problem except slow speed.
Bangladesh is now connected with the lone submarine cable SEA-ME-WE-4. But, it has already joined another consortium — SEA-ME-WE-5, and the country is likely to get connected to that in December.
Besides, the country is connected with International Terrestrial Cable (ITC) through different Indian companies.
