Saudi Telecom Company (STC) announced yesterday that it was successful in providing Internet connectivity to clients with 20 percent extra bandwidths than it had before Wednesday's disruption caused by a communication cable cut.
In an official statement, STC confirmed that the cut off of FLAG and SEA-ME-WE 4 cables had reduced Internet connectivity in the Kingdom by 50percent on the first day of disruption.
"The company with the support of international operators was able to restore Internet connectivity to its clients and it worked round the clock to operate a number of routes with different bandwidths ... as the bandwidths now available for use are 20 percent more than available before the disruption,"
Sounds like good news Mama Dearest.
Thanks for the update.
