Internet Down in Iran

Internet Down in Iran

On Sunday, because of anticipated protests from the opposition supporters, IT services such as IT connectivity will be slow in Iran this week. There are technical problems that need IT Support. People can't get only for hours and this happens every day since last week. If they want to use the Internet to check their email, they can't and the connection speed hasn't improved at all since then.

Communications Minister Reza Taghipour said that "the cause of the reduced Internet speed in recent days is that part of the fibre-optic network is damaged," told Iran's state broadcaster. The breakage will be repaired by next week and the Internet speed will be back to normal." Because of shipping traffic, the undersea optic fibre across the Gulf between Iranian port of Jask and Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates have been strongly affected and need technical support.
