Just in general:-
Our international traffic is run over EASSy and WACS in general. For the most part, West coast traffic over WACS and East Coast traffic over EASSy, with central/northern region traffic being balanced between both. Both cables can independently handle most international traffic normally should either one go offline, so that is always the first redundancy. Should the issue be more serious, we have additional failover capacity on Seacom and SAT-3, which takes a little more time to engage.
Seacom is, to my knowledge, also running on alternative paths until the main cable is fully repaired. SAT 3 is currently saturated with other ISPs failing over onto it, so running on WACS was the best option, and the restoral EASSy path. If at any stage we feel that this in any way diminishes service or experience significantly to the point that we don't feel it's working, we'll fall over entirely on WACS again until EASSy is back up fully. For now, aside from what we're seeing as acceptable interim increases in pings, international access has improved from the general perspective with the additional temporary capacity.
