Poor interment services being experienced on daily basis has been described as a distortion  to online businesses in the country.
The Tide’s investigations revealed that prospective travellers sometimes find it difficult to book their trips online due to network distortions.
Internet service disruptions were said to have been caused by damage to the West African Cable System, a submarine cable network serving Nigeria and some West African countries.
In an interview with a travelling agent in Port Harcourt, the Manager of  BRD Travels, Mrs Adaora Okon, said that network sometimes delayed movement but it  was always resolved when a traveller used agents that are detailed in online transactions.
She said, “the problem  is that some Nigerians are not detailed on how the online transactions operate.
“Online transactions are getting better than before and the problem of fraud comes in when people log into a website without checking whether it is secured or not”.
She noted the problem of exposing  secret code to the public , advising that there was the need for every online business man or woman to secure their business sites (https).
Subscribers of the MTN network were reportedly the most affected by the problem but the telecommunications company said it had since resolved the issue.
The Tide, however, discovered that  the problem had not completely been solved as browsing and online transactions were still slow.
A subscriber, Mr Eze Amadi, said operations on the internet these days have been problematic and slow compared to the previous speed.
Eze said he had problems booking for his flight on Monday, due to poor network service, urging the service providers to resolve the problem as soon as possible.
Another online business operator, Mrs Jennifer Chukwu, told The Tide that the problem was not completely solved as the providers promised, stating that internet business moves better when there is speed.
Apart from MTN, there are indications that subscribers of other telecommunications networks are also grappling with the problem of slow internet connections.
