Moshiur Rahman, the managing director of Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Ltd, told bdnews24.com that the repair work ended after Sunday midnight. "There were problems with the power supply to the second submarine cable in Patuakhali due to digging by locals for sand,” he said. Almost half the bandwidth supply comes from the second submarine cable, according to Moshiur. The chief technology officer at International Internet Gateway or IIG operator Fiber@Home, said the internet speed began to return to normal after midnight. In 2016, Bangladesh launched the second submarine cable landing station in Patuakhali's Kalapara.
