However, the problem will be limited as Bangladesh will use bandwidth from its second submarine cable and six international terrestrial cable connections, she said at an event at the Secretariat on Sunday. The repairs will involve the replacement of repeaters and could slow internet speed, a top Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited, or BSCCL official told bdnews24.com. This is the first time renovation work has been done on the cable, the official said. Bangladesh’s second submarine cable landing station was inaugurated in Patuakhali on Sept 10, 2017. Bangladesh will get approximately 1,500 Gigabytes per second of speed from this landing station’s connection to the Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe international consortium’s submarine cable, SEA-ME-WE-5.
