Excelcom fixes network

JAKARTA (JP): Mobile telecoms operator PT Excelcomindo Pratama
said on Wednesday it had repaired its telecommunications network
to prevent bad connections from recurring in the future.

The company's general manager of engineering, M. Baldansyah,
said in a statement the company quickly carried out repair work
after its network experienced trouble on Tuesday.

The trouble led to its customers being unable to use the
service for several hours from 1 p.m. to about 4 p.m.,
particularly around Jakarta's business areas of Jl. Sudirman, Jl.
Thamrin, Kuningan and Kota.

He said the trouble was caused by a sudden overload in
communications traffic, which mainly occurred because many
customers from outside Jakarta came into the areas and used their
cell phones.

The company apologized for the trouble, he said. (cst)
