Internet users in Bangladesh may experience slow speed or disruption for four hours due to maintenance work on the submarine cable system at Patuakhali’s Kuakata station.
Bangladesh Submarine Cables PLC (SCPLC) issued a notice in this regard, apologizing for the inconvenience.
According to a statement from the company’s General Manager of Operations and Maintenance, Saidur Rahman, the SEA-ME-WE 5 (SMW5) consortium will install a lighting filter in the country’s second submarine cable system at Kuakata from 2am to 6am on Sunday.
During this time, all circuits connected to the Kuakata landing station via the SMW5 cable will be affected.
However, circuits connected through the SEA-ME-WE-4 (SMW4) submarine cable at Cox's Bazar landing station will remain operational.
Users may experience slow connectivity or temporary disruptions during the maintenance period, according to the statement.
