Internet connection to be unstable for the next two weeks 1:13 PM,9/22/2014

The repair of the broken AAG international undersea cable network is expected to be completed on October 4, the network operator said.

After the storm Kalmaegi weakened into a tropical depression, the operator of AAG (Asia America Gate Way) international undersea cable made a plan to repair the broken cable.

Accordingly, at 8pm on September 29, a ship will arrive at the site and start the repair on October 1. The work is expected to end on the morning of October 4; it  will restore 100% of transmission capacity on the route.

On September 15 evening, the AAG cable broke at a site 64 km from Hong Kong. This incident affected Internet services in Vietnam, especially communications and exchange of information from Vietnam to other countries.

The AAG is a 20,000-kilometre long submarine communications cable system, connecting Southeast Asia with the US mainland, across the Pacific Ocean via Guam and Hawaii.

With a total investment of approximately $560 million, AAG has a length of nearly 20,000 km, starting from Malaysia (TM) and ending in the US (AT & T Telecom Company).

The segment to Vietnam is 314 km long and lands at Vung Tau.  There are four participants in the system, including FPT Telecom, VNPT, Viettel and SPT.
