SLOW INTERNET CONNECTION COUPLED BY 5 NEW INTERNATIONAL CABLES

  • 23/01/2022

Kuwait City: In the last two days, Kuwait has seen a lag in internet service speed due to a cable being cut outside Kuwait's territorial seas, and a previously cut cable in the Gulf ring has yet to be repaired. The subject of adding international cables to prevent such unanticipated technical glitches has arisen. The recent cable cutting disrupted some international circuits functioning on it, which are commonly used by Internet service providers and other minor service providers. According to a recent announcement by officials, no time date has been provided for repair because it will take a longer period of time to reconnect. 


The current slowdown in internet connection follows months of a total one-day outage caused by a mistake made by one of the contractors in the northern region. It is critical to create alternatives and to safeguard Kuwait against such situations that will isolate the country from the rest of the world.
