Voice, data services affected by undersea cable cuts restored–NCC
The National Communication Commission (NCC) has said that the data and voice services affected due to cuts in undersea fibre optics along the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal have been restored.
In a statement by its Director of Public Affairs, Reuben Mouka, the commission said data and voice services would operate optimally pending full repairs of the undersea cables as they have managed to activate alternative connectivities to bring back the situation to normalcy.
The statement reads:
All operators who were impacted by the cuts have taken recovery capacity from submarine cables which were not impacted by the cuts, and have thus recovered approximately 90% of their peak utilisation capacities.
Mobile Network Operators have assured the Commission that data and voice services would operate optimally pending full repairs of the undersea cables as they have managed to activate alternative connectivities to bring back the situation to normalcy.
We extend our appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
Signed:
Reuben Muoka
Director, Public Affairs
