Slow internet speed for 150 mins

People have been experiencing slow internet since Monday morning as mobile phone operators have been asked to slow down internet speed in the morning for 150 minutes to check question paper leaks during the SSC examinations.

The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has instructed the operators to slow down internet speed from 8:00am to 10:30am from 12 to 24 February, says UNB.

The instruction was given in a bid to prevent question paper leakage during the ongoing the Secondary School Certificate examinations, according to the BTRC.

The internet was slowed down for 30 minutes from 10:00pm on Sunday as trial run following the directive of BTRC.

Although the government took some measures to stop question paper leaks, the SSC question papers are being leaked out from the very first day of the examination.
