Vietnam's international internet connection is affected due to problems with 3 undersea cables.

A representative of an internet service provider in Vietnam (ISP) said that during the repair of the Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) cable from November 24 to 29, the system will shut down the power source of the HKG landing station in Hong Kong (China), thus disrupting internet connection on this submarine cable. It is expected that the APG submarine cable will restore all internet traffic on the route on November 29.

Currently, in addition to the APG submarine cable, there are two other international submarine optical cable lines that have also had their services interrupted, or have not yet fully restored their connection capacity due to previous problems: the Asia America Gateway (AAG) cable line and the Asia Africa Europe 1 (AAE-1) cable line.

Specifically, AAG suffered a power leak on branch S1I on the evening of October 22. At the same time, the AAG cable branch connecting Vietnam - Singapore also suffered a fault since the end of October 2021. Currently, the system has been scheduled for repair by an international partner and is expected to be completed on December 15.

Regarding the incident on the AAE-1 cable line, on November 20, the cable repair ship completed the repair on the S1H.3 segment, temporarily restoring capacity on the AAE-1 cable line. Currently, the ship is continuing to repair the remaining error on the S1H.4 segment, expected to be completed on November 27. At that time, the international connection on the AAE-1 submarine optical cable line will be stable again.
