Damaged submarine cable repaired, speed returned to the Internet

Following the repair of the damaged submarine cable following international standards, the speed of internet in the country has returned to normal, the authorities said.

 BSCCL authorities said, "The cable was identified as faulty and repaired as soon as possible following international standards. Traffic was fully resumed through the submarine cable at 12.15 pm on Sunday."  As a result, only two submarine cables of BSCCL are running normally at present.

 Earlier, Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL) had said that internet speed in the country had slowed down due to damage to a submarine cable at Kuakatar Alipore.

 Incidentally, the land fiber cable and the adjacent power cable from the CMW-5 beach-manhole to the landing station of the country's second submarine cable under BSCCL were suddenly severely damaged by a private construction company near Kuakatar Alipur Bazar.  This disrupted the on-going traffic via the CMW-5 submarine cable.
