MTC has announced that a power failure at the coastal town of Swakopmund that damaged one of the fiber ducts has been restored.

The power failure affected the West African Undersea Cable services, resulting in voice and data services being affected in the entire Erongo Region since Sunday.

This failure, unfortunately, also affected data in the entire country with customers experiencing slow data speeds due to the alternative routes being congested, says the mobile service provider.

MTC says that the coastal failures are now fully restored and continues to work around the clock to increase the capacity of the redundancy links.
