DHAKA, April 24 (Xinhua) -- Internet users across Bangladesh have been experiencing a slowdown for the past four days as repair work on the country's second submarine cable, which was recently damaged, has yet to be completed.
The repair work of the cable will persist until the last week of May, according to Bangladesh Submarine Cables PLC, Private news agency bdnews24.com reported Tuesday.
General Manager of Operation and Maintenance of Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL) Saidur Rahman said the cable broke down on Saturday.
Internet bandwidth in Bangladesh comes mainly through two submarine cables running through the deep sea. The first submarine cable is installed at southeastern Cox's Bazar while the second one is at Kuakata in Bangladesh's Patuakhali district, some 204 km south of the capital Dhaka. ■
