Iran said on Sunday its Internet connections will remain slow this week due to technical problems, ahead of anticipated protests by opposition supporters.
Connections have been slow since last week and some email accounts have been unavailable for several hours each day.
“The cause of the reduced Internet speed in recent days is that part of the fibre-optic network is damaged,” Communications Minister Reza Taghipour told Iran’s state broadcaster.
“The breakage will be repaired by next week and the Internet speed will be back to normal,” he added.
