Bangladesh faces internet disruptions for 12 hours

Bangladesh will experience partial internet disruption for 12 hours, from 6:01 am to 6:00 pm, due to maintenance of the SEA-ME-WE 4 submarine cable system in Singapore. The Bangladesh Submarine Cables PLC announced that services on circuits connected from Cox’s Bazar to Singapore will be temporarily affected. Bangladesh currently uses about 5,500Gbps of international bandwidth, with over half coming from terrestrial cables via India. The country is set to receive additional 13,200Gbps capacity from a third undersea cable by 2025. Daily Star
