200,000 TOT broadband Internet users back online
TOT Plc has restored Internet access to some 200,000 or 50 per cent of its broadband users who were offline following an accident that caused its main fibre optic cable to be severed early Sunday morning.
An underground fibre optic cable of TOT in front of Siam at Siam Building on Rama I Road was accidentally cut off by a bulldozer early Sunday morning, causing about 200,000 or about 50 per cent of its broadband Internet users to be unable to go online for hours.
Asa Sattayayuth, acting vice president of TOT, said TOT has re-routed Internet access for the affected users and the service has been restored by nearly 100 per cent.
The service would return to completely normal before midnight, he said.
