underseas cables damaged

Wondering why your traffic is down? Well, once again "Undersea cables in the Mediterranean Sea have been damaged, disrupting Internet and phone connections in a large number of countries." This is causing connectivity issues for people in Bahrain, Egypt, India, Kuwait, Malta, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates and won't be fixed till the end of the year.

Traffic to Germany was slow yesterday.

Looks like the fish will have a lot to byte on :)

Again?

Wasn't it late last year-early this year that there was a series of like 7 cable breaks?

And conspiracy theories about the repeated breaks?

Probably just ageing infrastructure tho.

Yeah, I saw that. It has definitely slowed down many of the sites coming from the U.S. I'm here in Thailand and I have definitely noticed a difference.
