Bangladesh: Nationwide internet disruptions possible Oct. 31 and Nov. 2 due to planned maintenance works
Internet disruptions possible across Bangladesh Oct. 31 and Nov. 2 due to planned works. Commercial disruptions possible.
Nationwide internet disruptions are possible 02:00-12:00 Oct. 31 and Nov. 2 due to planned maintenance works on the country's primary submarine cable. Users may experience temporary slowdowns or service interruptions. Delays in works may cause prolonged disruptions.
Commercial disruptions are possible, especially if operations rely heavily on internet access. Communication and security systems dependent on internet connectivity may also be affected. Interruptions to online services by private and government entities, including app-based transport booking and food delivery, are possible. Processing delays may occur at airports, including Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC).
Plan for communication and business disruptions. Consider alternative modes of communication, such as satellite connections, for critical business operations. Confirm the working status of security systems; account for possible transport and service delays.
