Internet users may face a slow connection or disruption for 20 hours between 2 am today 31 and 12 pm on November 2 with intermission due to upgradation of the country’s first submarine cable (SEA-ME-WE 4) in Cox’s Bazar.
A media release signed by director general (operation and maintenance) of Bangladesh Submarine Ca-bles PLC shared the development to the media.
Regretting the inconvenience, the authorities concerned informed that the internet service will remain slow or will be disrupted for 10 hours from 2 am to 12 pm on October 31 and for another 10 hours from 2 am to 12 pm on November 2, as the circuits connected to cables will partially remain stopped.
However, the circuits of the country’s second submarine cable (SEA-ME-WE 5) will remain functional as usual, according to the press release.
After the upgradation, the bandwidth capacity through the SEA-ME-WE 4 cable will increase remarka-bly, it said.
