Prepare for a potential hiccup in internet services as maintenance work on Bangladesh’s inaugural submarine cable, SEA-ME-WE 4, located in Cox’s Bazar, could lead to temporary partial disruption. The Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL) issued an official press statement on Wednesday, alerting users to the expected interruption on March 2.
Anticipated to last for 12 hours, from 7 am to 7 pm, the maintenance work will impact circuits connected through the SEA-ME-WE 4 cables, necessitating temporary closures.
Despite the disruption, users can find relief in the fact that circuits connected through the country’s second submarine cable, SEA-ME-WE 5, stationed at Kuakata, will continue normal operations, ensuring ongoing internet accessibility during the maintenance period. Stay informed and plan accordingly for this brief internet service adjustment on March 2.
