    Specifically, on January 1, the IA submarine cable system failed
    in Section S1, 49 km from Singapore's Changi North landing station.
    On Jan.
    9, the APG submarine cable malfunctioned in the S3 section, which has affected internet traffic between Vietnam, Hong Kong and Japan and made it difficult for Vietnamese internet users to access foreign websites
    such as Facebook and Netflix.

    According to media reports, the cable failure will take several weeks to repair
    .

    Major internet service providers such as Vietnam Mobile Telecom Viettel Group, Vietnam Post and Telecom Group and FPT Telecom quickly redirected international internet traffic to other cable systems to maintain international connectivity
    to the internet.

    Vietnam is connected to a total of 5 international submarine cables, including IA and APG
    .
    The 6,800 km long IA cable with a design capacity of 3.
    84 Tbps was commissioned in 2009
    .
    The 11,000-kilometer-long APG cable with a design capacity of 15.
    3 Tbps has been in service
    since late 2016.
