NCC Announces Restoration of Voice, Data Services Affected by Undersea Cable Cuts
The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), has announced that the disruption on March 14, 2024, which affected data and voice services due to cuts in undersea fibre optics along the coasts of Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal, have now been restored to approximately 90% of their peak utilization capacities.
The Commission made the annnouncement in a statement signed by Reuben Muoka, Director, Public Affairs, and explained that
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.
He revealed that 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.
The Commission extend its appreciation to telecom consumers for their patience and understanding during the downtime caused by the undersea fibre cuts.
