Hanoi (VNA) – The SMW3 cable, the last fully functional Internet cable of Vietnam, has encountered a problem on its S2.7 segment that connects with Singapore, an Internet service provider in the country said on February 21.
This means all the five undersea cables connectingVietnam with the world have been partly or wholly affected.
Earlier, AAG and APG suffered fromserious failures and are now completely unable to carry the Internet traffic. Twoothers, IA and AAE-1, also recorded breakdowns and are only functional partly.
However, Vietnamese service supplierssaid the failures on the five cables will not have great impact on the speed of Internet connection between the country and the world.
The SMW3 cable is outdated and goingto be decommissioned, so it has not been used for fixed broadband Internetservices, they explained, adding that the latest breakdown didn’t occur in thepeak time, and they immediately carried out responding measures to reduce impacton the Internet speed.
Service suppliers are implementingthe best measures to ensure users’ Internet access, they noted./.
