    Cameroon fiber optic cable lines haphazardly connected

    In a statement released on September 11, 2024, the telecom regulator, ART, attributed this issue to the "continuous degradation" of the national fiber optic network and called for a reevaluation of the network's maintenance practices. As the controversy over telecom quality of service continues, MTN Cameroon said this week that fibre destruction has increased by more than 40% this year compared to the previous year. Following previous disruptions to phone and data services, the company highlighted worries over the state-owned. In recent days, many consumers in Cameroon have taken to social media to voice their frustration over the declining quality of services from telecom operators Orange and MTN. Plans are underway to add more than 4,000 kilometers of fiber, expanding the backbone to about 17,000–22,000 km and improving. Camtel, Cameroon's national telecommunications provider, is urging government authorities, businesses, and local communities to take action to safeguard the country's vital telecom infrastructure. The call comes amid growing concerns about ongoing damage to the fiber optic network, which is.
