Country's regulatory authority has reversed its plan to block the internet as part of an effort to stop SSC questions leaking on Facebook and other social media sites after a brief outage on Monday morning.
Telecom regulator BTRC sent instructions to mobile internet and ISP providers to suspend the limitation on the speed of the internet.
Internet providers had tested a 25 kilobyte per second limit on bandwidth from 10pm to 10:30pm on Sunday, effectively cutting off internet access for a half hour, reports bdnews24.
The BTRC had also instructed the internet speed be restricted for two and a half hours near the start of all SSC exams. It had also issued a list of the dates and times when the restrictions would be in place.
The government’s decision to restrict the internet speed after failing to stop question leaks led to significant criticism.
