Internet blackout for four days

The country will face disruption in internet and international call connectivity from today until Tuesday evening due to maintenance work on the submarine cable, SEA-ME-WE 4.
However, an arrangement has been made to import the required bandwidth for the country via satellite and international terrestrial cables, said Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Ltd (BSCCL).
Monwar Hossain, managing director of the BSCCL, said installation works are scheduled between 2am and 5am on Sunday at a point between Thailand and Malaysia.
But internet service providers have been instructed to contact with the international internet gateways for back-up connectivity as well, he said.
