Dhaka, Aug 1 Internet connectivity will remain snapped for three hours early on Thursday in Bangladesh due to repairs of the submarine cable.
Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Ltd (BSCCL) Managing Director Monwar Hossain told bdnews24.com there would be no internet connection for three hours starting at 2pm.
"The time has been fixed to change router in the cable in the area between Malaysia and Singapore," he said.
The undersea cable's east segment was snapped 60 km off Singapore on June 6.
Currently, Bangladesh depends on a single submarine cable and often faces issues. India, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia have alternative arrangements that spare them from such hassles.
The submarine cable system that Bangladesh is currently connected to is a high capacity optical fibre cable system linking 16 companies of 14 countries.
Called the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe- 4 (SEA-ME-WE-4) cable network, it is managed by an international consortium.
Bangladesh is expected to connect with the SEA-ME-WE-5 by 2014.
