Bangladesh Submarine Cables PLC (BSCPLC) has announced a 10% reduction in its wholesale bandwidth prices in a bid to make internet access more affordable in Bangladesh.

In addition to the price cuts, Taiyeb mentioned ongoing discussions with mobile operators to grant them access to Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) facilities. This move could potentially decrease transmission costs by up to 39%, further aiding in the reduction of internet service rates for consumers. Currently, BSCPLC provides international bandwidth via the SEA-ME-WE 4 and SEA-ME-WE 5 subsea cables, of which it is a co-owner.
