Staff Reporter :
Internet service in Bangladesh would be disrupted temporarily from 12:00 am of 23 October to 2:00 pm of 27 October for 7 days due to the maintenance work of submarine cable at the Singapore end.
“The SEA-ME-WE-4 Consortium would carry out maintenance work of the undersea cable at its Singapore end that may disrupt internet service temporarily in the country,” Bangladesh Telecommunications Company Limited (BTCL) Director (Public Relations and Publication) Meer Mohammad Morshed said on Thursday.
“But, the internet service would be kept on through alternative arrangement during the period,” he added.
He, however, hoped internet users in the country would not face any major problem except slow speed.
Bangladesh now connected with lone submarine cable SEA-ME-WE-4. But, it has already joined another consortium SEA-ME-WE-5 that is expected to be connected with the country in December.
Besides, the country is connected with International Terrestrial Cable (ITC) through different Indian companies.
