7 August: Armenia is currently connected to the Internet via satellite,
which explains the low speed and poor quality of connection, the
press secretary of the national operator, ArmenTel, Asmik Chutilyan,
has told our Regnum news agency correspondent.
ArmenTel has exclusive rights to provide access to international
telecommunications from Armenia.
"In comparison with Saturday [5 August], bandwidth has been
doubled. Steps are being taken to expand it further and bandwidth
will probably be expanded before the end of the day," the company
representative said, noting that repairs and restoration work on the
fibre-optic cable in the bed of the Black Sea will be completed within
10 days.
