Nigerians to see improved telecom service following undersea cable cut
Mobile network operators have assured that their services would improve while repairs of the damaged undersea fibre optical cables are being done.
The Nigerian Communication Commission, NCC, revealed this in a statement issued on Monday.
Reuben Mouka, public relations officer of the NCC, said in the release that the operators have almost fully recovered from the damage.
“All 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 said in the statement.
“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.”
Telecom consumers across West Africa and Southern Africa have experienced severe disruptions to voice and data services, since the glitch was reported on March 14.
