Mobile users across Bangladesh experienced internet connection issues since last night.
In multiple instances since early Friday, users of all telecom operators reportedly either failed to connect to the internet through mobile data or were forced to use it at a decreased speed.
However, broadband internet connections did not face such outages. Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) acting chairman Subrata Roy Maitra told media, "It (slowed down mobile internet) may have happened due to a technical fault."
According to a UNB report, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) instructed mobile operators through a notice to keep the 3G and 4G mobile data services suspended across the country from Friday 5am until further direction.
Grameenphone Head External Communication Md Hasan said, "Our 4G and 3G services are temporarily down due to unavoidable reasons. We are working with the relevant authorities to bring back 4G and 3G services. We apologise for the inconvenience."
