Bangladesh faces internet disruptions for 12 hours

Internet connectivity in Bangladesh will experience partial disruption for 12 hours starting Saturday morning due to maintenance on the first submarine cable.

Bangladesh Submarine Cables PLC (BSCPLC) confirmed this in a press release.

The statement indicated that from 6:01 am to 6:00 pm, the consortium has planned maintenance for a land cable fault near the Tuas landing station of the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 (SEA-ME-WE 4) submarine cable system in Singapore.

During this time, services on the circuits connecting Cox's Bazar to Singapore via SMW4 will be temporarily affected, said BSCPLC.
