This information was provided by Nguyen Hong Hai, deputy director of the Viet Nam Datacommunication Company (VDC).
He said the repair could take up to two weeks depending on the weather conditions and procedures that allow AAG's cable-wielding ship into the waters where the cut-cable lies. After soldering the cut in the cable, technicians have to check the whole system to make sure it will work, so it will take time for Internet communications to work normally, he added.
The cable system was found cut 278 kilometres off the coast of Vung Tau central city on December 20, on the line from Viet Nam to Hong Kong. Consequently, communication services such as emails and video calls from Viet Nam to foreign places are facing congestion problems. However, Internet operations within the country have not been affected.
