Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, General Director of FPT Telecom, said that with favorable weather conditions, at 11:00 am today, the AAG submarine optical cable was welded and tested. After the announcement of the cable's stable operation, the routing was started. At around 1:00 pm on July 27, the source measurement was completed, and at 1:30 pm, the AAG cable was buried under the sea. Internet service operators on the AAG cable will start routing to gradually bring traffic into the system.

“From tonight, July 27, 2014, all international Internet traffic on the AAG cable will return to normal. There will no longer be slow Internet access when using international services such as web, email… in Vietnam,” Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa affirmed.

Thus, the repair of the broken AAG international submarine cable was completed 3 days earlier than the expected deadline given by the operator of the AAG (Asia America Gate Way) international submarine cable a few days ago, which was July 30, 2014.

Internet users in Vietnam will be able to start a new work week more happily when Internet access is smooth and uninterrupted because international Internet traffic on the AAG submarine cable has been restored to 100%.
