While waiting for the repair, FPT Telecom has used land cables to forward traffic from the broken cable segment in order to minimize the impact of the incident.
Viettel has adjusted interconnection capacity through the pan-Asian fiber-optic cable and the land cable to China Telecom and China Unicom.
Also, from January 10, Viettel will include an additional 80Gbps for the route to Hong Kong and Singapore.
Earlier in 2014, the cable was cut in July and September and it took two weeks to resolve the issue.
