The Southern Cross cable that connects Tonga to the outside world is expected to be back in action today.
Tonga Cable Limited chief executive Samuiela Fonua said it will be ready later today but needs time for tests from the repair ship.
The handover to Tonga Cable will be done tomorrow afternoon.
The cable was damaged last month during the volcanic eruption and tsunami that wreaked havoc in Tonga, cutting most communications via phone and internet lines.
