Internet users may experience temporary slowdowns or interruptions early on Saturday.
Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited (BSCCL) issued a press release on Friday.
The disruption will occur between 2am and 6am as maintenance work is scheduled on the country's second submarine cable, SEA-ME-WE 5, located at Kuakata.
During this time, circuits connected via the SEA-ME-WE 5 cable will be partially shut down to allow for the installation of lighting filters.
While this maintenance work is essential for ensuring the continued reliability of the SEA-ME-WE 5 cable, the BSCCL has assured that circuits connected through the country's first submarine cable, SEA-ME-WE 4, which operates from Cox's Bazar, will remain functional.
As a result, a complete blackout is unlikely, though internet users may still notice reduced speeds.
