This does not sound good. If its true then its the 5th "cable break" in what 5 days. One of the UAE links went down recently too, in addition to the other 3 that are already in the news.

WA SAIX dead pta

 

[mh348]

Seems to be working now.

 

[rajharie]

maybe it is the same boat that dropped anchor on the cable in the Med last week and disconnected the Middle East and India from the rest of the world...he must have come around and dropped anchor on the cable between SA and Hong Kong.

Or maybe this is a new Al Qaeda bloodless terrorist attack - unplug the world continent by continent

 

[Scooby_Doo]

[nic777]

It was for a minute or two, seems to have just been fixed. By the way greywolve, do you play TF2 or BF2? Recognise the name..
