SEACOM cable repair date confirmed

SEACOM stated that it has continued to activate “additional diverse restoration capacity” on its network, which means almost all customers who requested manual restoration “now have it”.

I still don't get how so much of the earth's Internet can be dependent on one undersea cable. Which appears to be made of string because it's always breaking.

MyBB your forum article intro's really suck! What's with the withholding of info that is needed by whoever reads this via the forum? Grow TF up!

Mainly Africa. And it's cheap to buy capacity on it, so lots of ISPs have done this. The better ISPs have capacity on the other cables (especially WACS) too, and use that at the moment.

It's not, depends on your ISP. Seacom does not affect me at all and I'll never use an ISP that has their traffic on Seacom as that cable must hold the record for outages.

Which ISPs in South Africa don't use Seacom?

Telkom for starters, I don't know all of them.

 

[Soul Assassin]

I don't think it's a case of who doesn't use it, I think it's more a case of who relies on it.

I've never been affected by any of the cable breaks using Vox.

Such a cable would be most welcome
