SEA-ME-WE 5 break disrupts internet service in Bangladesh

Just over a year after series of incidents affected Vietnam’s international communications network, there have been some new issues: three of Vietnam’s five undersea internet cables are reported to be down.

Bangladesh’s internet slowdown due to a break in the SEA-ME-WE-5 subsea cable may reportedly continue to the end of May due to red tape and haggling over the cost of lighting up more bandwidth on the country’s only alternate subsea route.
