Since February 10 when telecommunication firms took technical solutions 
and opened up more data flows on land-based cables, the Internet 
connections have been improved and 50% of international Internet capacity 
has been restored.

Nguyen Hong Thang, Director of the Vietnam Telecommunications Authority, 
said that a coordination board was established to monitor measures 
responding to the submarine cable incident.

Notably, besides applying technical measures, telecommunications firms 
also quickly opened more connection capacity on land cables to ensure 
service quality and interests for Internet users despite high costs, he 
said.
