Submarine cable

Danesh Osman, Hatkhola Road, Dhaka
It's quite unfortunate that despite repeated breakdown of submarine link, the BTTB is paying less attention to creating a backup connectivity. After the much awaited launching of the submarine link, most of the ISPs have withdrawn the satellite link. As a result, when the submarine cables goes down, most of the users in Bangladesh are deprived of using the Internet. It not only affects the home users but also affects the businesses as all the business houses rely fully on the Internet to carry on their day to day activities. We hope that the authorities will look into the matter and ensure uninterrupted connectivity of the submarine link by having a proper backup strategy in place.
