A fiber-optic line to China is being laid in Tajikistan, which will directly connect the telecommunications networks of the two countries, which will increase the speed and reduce the cost of the Internet in the Republic of Tajikistan.
To date, 108 km of fiber-optic cable has been laid in Shamsiddin Shokhin and Darvaz districts.
Bakhtovar Abdusattorov, First Deputy General Director of Tajiktelecom, which implements this project, noted that it will increase the bandwidth of the Internet channel, which will reduce the cost of the Internet and enable mobile operators to provide cheaper services.
Sheravgan Kholzoda, the project engineer, said that the 48-layer optical cable will be laid from Dushanbe to Khorog, and at the next stage to the border with China.
Residents of Tajikistan have been complaining about the high cost and low quality of the Internet in the country in recent years. The new management of the Communications Service under the Government of Tajikistan is making efforts to reduce the cost and improve the quality of Internet connections in the republic. According to the agency, since the beginning of this year, the volume of mobile Internet packages has been increased by 20%, and the average cost of fixed-line Internet tariffs has decreased by half.
