Bangladesh Submarine Cables PLC, a state-owned company under the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology, has announced two special incentive packages to make international bandwidth use more affordable. The initiative, effective from March 10, 2026, aims to support the government’s election pledge of ensuring fast and reliable internet for all. Internet service providers (ISPs), international internet gateways (IIGs), and telecom operators will benefit from reduced costs when purchasing new bandwidth capacity.
Under the first package, customers purchasing new IPLC capacity on the SEA-ME-WE-4 Cox’s Bazar–Singapore route will receive bonus capacity—such as 100G free for every 200G purchased or an additional 10G for each 10G bought. Customers with outstanding dues can also qualify if they submit post-dated checks with a repayment schedule within 2026. The offer applies only to new capacity purchases on a first-come, first-served basis.
The second package, effective April 1, 2026, offers up to 70% free limited destination bandwidth for prepaid customers with zero dues under the company’s IP transit service. The company expects these incentives to lower bandwidth prices below Tk 90 per megabit and support the growth of a knowledge-based digital economy.
