{{Rwanda\u2019s first giant mobile telecommunication and internet provider, MTN has cautioned the general public that its internet subscribers will face some inconsistency with internet speeds.}}<\/p>\n
According to the communiqu\u00e9 from MTN, the inconsistency in the internet connection will be due to EASSy cable disruptions detected between Djibouti and Port Sudan, which carries the majority of Rwanda\u2019s international Internet traffic.<\/p>\n
The communiqu\u00e9 indicates that 80% the internet traffic is through the EASSy undersea cable that is also linked through Tanzania. <\/p>\n
\u201cDue to these cuts, especially on routes undersea and in remote areas, we are facing challenges in offering bandwidth to full capacity,\u201d the communiqu\u00e9 reads in parts. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe impact is substantial as we are now remaining with 20 percent of our capacity. However we have currently channelled all our traffic through an alternative route through Uganda. The company managing the EASSy cable has dispatched a vessel to fix the problem,\u201d said Chief Marketing Officer, Yvonne Manzi Makolo.<\/p>\n
MTN Rwanda is also currently working with other providers to see how the service can be restored as soon as possible. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking at alternative solutions with other providers to offer subscribers with uninterrupted Internet connection,\u201d The communiqu\u00e9 indicated. <\/p>\n
