Internet is down in Mid East and India
Family members and businessmen shouldn’t be worried that they can’t reach their loved ones and associates in the Middle East and India. It’s not because of some political censorship or terrorist activity, but rather the reason is they’re no longer connected to the internet. They’re having a small problem: they have been disconnected because of two damaged undersea cables in the Mediterranean.
There was disruption to 70% of the nationwide network in Egypt, and India suffered up to 60% disruption.
UK firms such as British Airways have told the BBC that call centres have been affected by the outage.
Industry experts said it could take up to one week to repair the damaged cables and resume full service.
International telephone calls, which have also been affected, are being rerouted to work around the problem.
Repairs are on going as you read this. Hopefully full or partial services will be up within the week.
