Got this from the Seacom Website this morning

SEACOM SERVICE DOWN; SEACOM actively seeking options to restore service - 5 Jul 2010
At 09:19 GMT, 5 July 2010, SEACOM experienced a submarine failure resulting in service downtime between Mumbai and Mombasa. Current investigations indicate that a repeater has failed on segment 9 of the SEACOM cable, which is offshore to the north of Mombasa. This unexpected failure affects traffic towards both India and Europe. Traffic within Africa is not affected.

SEACOM has initiated emergency repair procedures to replace the repeater. Once mobilised, the repair ship is deployed to the location of the fault to pick up the cable. The cable is then brought on board to undergo the repair – the faulty element is replaced with a new repeater - before being put back in the water.

Whilst the repair process itself will only take a few hours, the overall process may last a minimum of 6-8 days. The actual duration is unpredictable due to external factors such as transit time of the ship, weather conditions and time to locate the cable. For this reason, the estimated duration of this repair remains uncertain.

SEACOM, in co-operation with individual clients, is actively seeking alternatives to restore service whilst the repairs are undertaken.

AWESOME !!!!!!
Goodmorning ppl looks like we still down YAWN
For the first time Hellkoms not to blame
 
Just read that they say it could take up to 8 days to repair Seacom.

Better start planning for an ISP that is now routing via SAT-3 like MWEB or IS.
 
Rumour is that telscum is concerned about losing so many customers to other ISP's and they have hired a pirate submarine to sabotage the Seacom route!!!

Out of gratitude the pirates have renamed the sub to the SS Reuben!!! :twisted:
