Efforts are underway to carry out the necessary repairs, Moshiur Rahman, managing director of Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Ltd, told bdnews24.com on Sunday. "Almost half the bandwidth supply comes from the second submarine cable. In 2016, Bangladesh launched the second submarine cable landing station in Patuakhali's Kalapara. There are problems with the connectivity to the second submarine cable which has slowed down internet speed. The bandwidth supplied by internet service providers has been halved due to the problems with the submarine cable," said Imdadul Hoque, general secretary of Internet Service Providers Association of Bangladesh.
