The disruption that caused damage to the Telecom Fiji Limited fibre-optic cables yesterday were fully restored and internet and international services have been resolved with services fully restored.

Telecom Fiji Limited says according to the team's investigations the disruption was caused to the underground fibre-optic cables near the FINTEL International Cable Landing Station.

Telecom Fiji says the damage to the cables was caused by Digicel contractor, Fibre Network Engineering Communication Pte Ltd which was using its Horizontal Directional Drilling equipment.

Telecom has dual routes connecting exchanges to the cable landing station, and the damage had affected both the routes causing service disruption.

TFL says their engineers had mobilised to the site and worked quickly to restore services.
