Repairs of a major undersea communications cable will snap Bangladesh's internet connectivity with the rest of the world for nearly three hours after Tuesday midnight, officials say.
Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Ltd (BSCCL) Managing Director Monowar Hossain confirmed that there would be 'no connectivity' due to the repairs on the submarine cable severed a month ago 60 kilometres away from Singapore.
The mending will start at around 1am and he expects will be completed before 4am.
He said the internet remained uninterrupted despite the cable cut as they 'quickly' managed bandwidth from Italy.
"But now the power has to be shut down for reconnection," he said explaining the reason of no connectivity during repairs.
Bangladesh connects with the rest of the world with a lone submarine cable SEA-ME-WE-4 that stretches from Singapore to Mumbai in India via Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, India's Chennai and Sri Lanka.
