Hello everybody,
Now our friends at India, Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain cant streaming for You Tube anymore. Why? This is because its been 3 days since the undersea cable between India and Middle East got cut by a ship! In India, Internet bandwidth has been down to 50% - 60% since Wednesday. It could take weeks for services to return to normal.So pity!
Repair ships were on Wednesday night rushing to the Egyptian coast after damage to two undersea cables disrupted internet traffic across large parts of the Middle East and south Asia.At least one of the cables had been severed, possibly by a ship’s anchor, authorities said. Internet services in Egypt were cut off and web traffic in India disrupted.
