Internet services across Bangladesh will be disrupted temporarily for three hours on the night of December 2 due to maintenance of the country’s first submarine cable.  

SEA-ME-WE 4, the country’s first submarine cable system, is located in Cox’s Bazar district, some 400 km southeast of capital Dhaka, Xinhua news agency reported.
