1-hour internet disruption before dawn on Friday
ICT Desk
Internet users will face partial interruptions for an hour from around 3am-4am on Friday due maintenance work on the second submarine cable.
Maintenance work will be performed on the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (SEA-ME-WE 5) submarine cable installed in Kuakata, said Bangladesh Submarine Cables PLC (BSCPLC) in a press release.
In the meantime, the first submarine cable, SEA-ME-WE 4, will continue providing uninterrupted services.
Of the two submarine cables operated by BSCPLC, SEA-ME-WE 5 carries about 1,700 gigabyte-per-second (Gbps) internet, while the first submarine cable carries a much smaller amount of nearly 800 Gbps bandwidth.
Maintenance work on the SEA-ME-WE 5 will potentially be felt by internet users.
The rest of the country’s 5,200 Gbps of ground-based bandwidth is imported from India.
