Internet may slow down for over 7 hrs today Staff Correspondent Staff Correspondent Internet users will suffer slow connection today due to maintenance work on a submarine cable between 2:30pm and 10:00pm. State-owned Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL) recently issued a statement saying that one of its two submarine cables will remain completely dysfunctional during the time. This could force the international terrestrial cable companies to procure transborder bandwidth from India as backup. The submarine cable which will be operated on today is called SEA-ME-WE-4. Bangladesh was connected to it in 2005. The government later allowed several private entities to import bandwidth from India using underground cables.
