Damages in fiber-optic cable halts internet connection in Azerbaijan

Damage of the fiber-optic communication cable, laid in the direction of Russia and farther to Europe, through which the basic informational traffic from Azerbaijan runs, the country's most providers failed to render Internet services to their customers on January 31 for several hours.
The interruption occurred in Germany, deputy Minister of Communications and Information Technologies Iltimaz Mammadov told Trend. The problems with Internet have been settled about two hours later.

The main informational traffic is currently running through the fiber-optic communication cable through Russia.

About 90% of the country's providers use exactly this traffic. Only AzEuroTel company possesses its own satellite terminal via which it puts its traffic through.
