After nearly 27 hours of shutdown mobile internet network was restored and social media platforms were accessible about 3:00pm on Monday, following the ouster of the Sheikh Hasina-led government through student protests.
Also the broadband internet connection was restored about the same time after nearly four hours of blackout from about 11:00am on Monday.
Users across the country reported that they were able to access the social media platforms, including Facebook, Messenger and WhatsApp, from about 3:00pm on the day.
Internet Service Providers Association of Bangladesh president Emdadul Haque told 抖阴精品 that they did not get bandwidth from the International Internet Gateway companies for several hours from about 11:00am on Monday.
鈥榃e hope that internet connections will run at a normal speed within tonight, as it takes some time for internet services to return to normal if cache servers get shut down,鈥� he said.
A cache server is a type of network service that saves internet content and web pages locally.
Mobile internet services were shut down at about noon on Sunday during the countrywide student protests pressing for resignation of the Sheikh Hasina-led government.
Telecom operators Grameenphone and Robi Axiata on Sunday said that they received the government order to shut down mobile internet services on the day.
Earlier on August 2, some social media platforms, including Facebook, Messenger and Telegram, were down for about seven hours. Later on, Grameenphone and Banglalink in a media statement said that the authorities ordered them to do so. Robi Axiata declined to comment while Teletalk said that they did not get any such order.
The government shut down the internet connection, both mobile and broadband, across the country on July 18 amid countrywide quota reform protests, and restored the services partially on July 23.
The broadband connection was restored countrywide on July 24 and mobile internet was restored on July 28.
Users, however, were denied access to the social media platforms until the government unblocked them on July 31.
