-   -   Undersea Cable CUT (https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/shifting-gears/50926-undersea-cable-cut.html)

Internet service providers (ISPs) are currently observing failure in the undersea cable system (FEA) between Alxendria (Egypt) and Palermo (Italy). Cable systems SMW3, SMW4 towards Atlantic are out of service, As per the information received from service providers outage is suspected due to cable cuts or shunt faults.

Currently there is no estimate to repair (ETR) provided by the service providers:Frustrati

Any idea what ISP's will be affected?

There are trying to divert the traffic.

Reliance has issues and so does VSNL.

Just the thing we needed in recession hit times ...:Frustrati

Maybe this is the reason why my ISP is working bad and I am having difficulties even in accessing tbhp and international websites.

Now I know, why I have been facing problem with my internet. Connection problems and slow speed. Thanks whatcanthisbe

Oh so this is the reason why my Net connection has also been facing problems.
Similar thing happened earlier also, then the undersea cables got cut by some ships Anchor.

Almost all ISPs are affected, the cables between Asia and the Middle east with Europe have been cut. Both Flag 4 (Reliance) and GLobal Crossing (TATA) the two largest submarine cable operators as well as mutiple-owner cable systems like SEAMEWE (South East Asia Middle East Western Europe) and other smaller cable operators are affected.

Most call centres remain cut-off from the rest of the world, as a result. They're working to reroute traffic, but the cause is unknown.

welcome guys, i was wondering why my internet(airtel BB & Reliance Data card) was slow where as the connection at work was fine, did a lil research and gor the it guys at work to find out why and this is why, work uses the Pacific link but since all / most of the traffic is being routed there get ready for slow internet

This is the second time that something like this is happening. I don't remember but submarine cable got cut at around the same region early this year.

I am told things will be much better after 11 pm tonite.

Getting this popup since evening:

Yeah. My MS Outlook in Office has been down since morning. My net connection at home is too slow too. Thnks for pointing this out.

What ISP is that ?

Yeah I am trying to connect to my client via VPN but no luck :Frustrati

"The shut down will take several days to fix, and could have a major impact on the region and across the world."

"It's still unclear how the cables were damaged or when they will be fixed. Reliance Globalcom, a communications provider in India, told Bloomberg News that there was no time frame for getting the network fixed. France Telecom said it plans to send a boat to fix the problem and should have service restored to normal by December 31, according to Bloomberg."
