One Communications’ internet services were Wednesday evening being gradually restored as technicians prepared to repair a cut fibre-optic cable that is connected to the subsea cable, a company official said.
“We’re operating at a reduced capacity right now. While we have ensured that everybody is back up, the limited capacity means users may still experience a bit of slow internet speeds and buffering,” an official told Demerara Waves Online News.
Technicians are expected to fully restore affected services by 9 p.m. Wednesday.
The official said the system-wide fibre-optic internet and mobile services went down after an agent of the new owners of a plot of land where the central radio service was located cut the internet cable while working on a drain.
That land stretches from Thomas Road to Carifesta Avenue.
One Communications apologised for the inconvenience and said it appreciated “your patience”.
MMG and top-up services were also affected at a number of locations.
