Slow Internet?????


Are you facing problems with downloads or not able to access your favourite sites then the reason is that one of the undersea cables has snapped.
Internet and phone communications between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia have been seriously disrupted after submarine cables were severed.It is thought the FLAG FEA, SMW4, and SMW3 lines, near the Alexandria cable station in Egypt, have all been cut.A fault was also reported on the GO submarine cable 130km off Sicily.
Experts warned that it may be days before the fault is fixed and said the knock on effect could have serious repercussions on regional economies.It is thought that 65% of traffic to India was down, while services to Singapore, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Taiwan and Pakistan have also been severely affected.Earlier this year, the same line was damaged in the same area - off the Egyptian coast - although only two lines were snapped then.
