APG cable was repaired on April 10th.
On March 22, the incident on the APG cable line began to be repaired and it is expected that the cable line will have its capacity restored by April 10.
According to an Internet service provider in Vietnam, it is expected that the APG (Asia Pacific Gateway) international submarine cable will return to normal operation by 5:00 a.m. on April 10.
According to the repair schedule just released by the cable management unit, the maintenance time to repair the cable break on branch S6 and maintain branch S1.7 will start from 7:00 p.m. on March 22.
Previously, at 6:30 a.m. on February 27, an incident occurred on the APG international submarine cable. It took more than a month for the APG incident to be resolved.
VNPT Group said it immediately implemented a solution such as proactively routing international channel traffic to other cables that are operating stably, and coordinating with international partners to arrange traffic to rescue international channels affected by the incident.
Meanwhile, Viettel network affirmed that users can rest assured using the service, even during rush hours because in addition to the direction to Hong Kong, APG still operates normally on the direction to Singapore.
In addition, Viettel is also stably maintaining the IA, AAG submarine cable lines and land routes through China. With the land route, Viettel owns an important international return route through the Indochina backbone cable line, connecting the three countries of Vietnam - Laos - Cambodia...
The APG submarine cable is approximately 10,400 km long and is located under the Pacific Ocean. APG is capable of providing a maximum bandwidth of up to 54 Tbps and is an important international Internet connection for Vietnam. The cable has connection points in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
In early January 2018, this submarine cable also had a problem and was repaired in just one day.
