On May 14, the AAG submarine cable problem may be fixed.

The cable welding ship is expected to reach the sea area where the fiber optic cable was broken by April 30. The repair may take 2 weeks to complete.

According to information from VNPT-I, one of the Internet operators on the AAG cable line in Vietnam, the determination of the cable break location and the repair plan have been initially completed. By April 30, the cable repair ship of the AAG operator will be able to enter Vietnamese waters.

Speaking to Zing.vn, Mr. Lam Quoc Cuong, Director of VNPT-I International Telecommunications Company, said that the repair could take 2 weeks. The time may vary, depending on weather conditions or because the cable welding team has to carry out procedures to bring the ship into Vietnam's waters. Therefore, the expected time for the broken AAG cable to be restored could fall on May 13-14, more than 3 weeks after the incident was discovered.

In addition to cooperating with foreign partners to repair submarine optical cables, domestic Internet service providers such as VNPT, FPT Telecom, Viettel Telecom, SPT... still have to expand signal transmission channels to other overland cable lines to reduce the load on the AAG line that is malfunctioning.

"However, this move can only partially compensate, because the lost traffic on the AAG line is very large. Currently, the incident only affects broadband services. Traditional and domestic services are still operating stably," said Mr. Cuong.
