Internet Disruptions To Persist For Three Weeks – MainOne

Internet users and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) based business operators across the country may have to endure up to three more weeks of epileptic services, it was gathered last night.

The disruptions were sparked by a cut on the submarine cable system in the Atlantic Ocean offshore Cote D’Ivoire, along the coast of West Africa on Thursday, leaving many business transactions in hiccups.

Most affected are telecommunication firms, publishing companies, banks and cable companies.

One of the undersea cable companies affected by the service disruptions, MainOne, said yesterday that the situation might persist for two to three weeks for the problem to be fixed.

In a note shared with The Nation, the cable company said investigations revealed that the fault came from an external incident that resulted in a cut on the submarine cable system in the ocean.
