Net disruption in Sun wee hrs

Bangladesh will see internet disruption for about 45 minutes in the small hours of Sunday due to start of repair work in the submarine cable, says a government official.

"Back-up arrangements have been made for the five-day repair work on the segment 1.01 of the SEA-ME-WE-4 cable. We may have problems for 30-45 minutes," Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Ltd (BSCCL) managing director Monowar Hossain told bdnews24.com on Saturday.

He said, "We have chosen to start the work shortly after 2am when the traffic is comparatively low."

The Submarine Cable Consortium informed Bangladesh a month ago that one of the repeaters needs to be replaced on the segment.
