    Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company (BSCCL) is currently issuing a notice that internet services will be temporarily interrupted
    due to maintenance work on the SeaMeWe-4 submarine cable.

    According to a press release from BSCL, the existing underground cable route will be replaced
    by a new route on May 28, 2021.
    At the same time, traffic will be rerouted to SeaMeWe-5 and International Terrestrial Cable (ITC) carriers
    .

    According to reports, this repair is mainly because of the failure of the Chennai section of the cable, during the maintenance period Bangladeshi users will experience problems such as slow Internet speed, the bandwidth dropped from 250 gigabit per second (Gbps) to 90 Gbps, which led to slow Internet
    .

    Mashiur Ra?? Managing Director of Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL) HMAN said, "The disruption began last Friday and will continue until this Thursday
    .

    To alleviate this shortcoming, the bandwidth supply of the second submarine cable, the SEA-ME-WE 5, has been increased from 150 Gbps to 240 Gbps
    .
    He assured that, despite this, there may be "some interruptions" in the speed, but there will be no disconnection
    .

    Bangladesh's current bandwidth consumption is around 600 Gbps, of which 400 Gbps is provided by state-run companies and the rest comes from India
    via terrestrial cables.
    A senior source involved in the market said that if BSCCL introduced appropriate facilities to take advantage of the capacity of SEA-ME-WE 5, Internet users would not face such problems
    .

    The SEA-ME-WE-5 has a capacity of 1,500 Gbps, but the transmission link at its Kuakata landing site is not up to the requirements
    .
    Last October, SEA-ME-WE-4 was completely closed for three days
    during its Bay of Bengal maintenance work.
