SEACOM network disturbance caused by extended repair work on SEA-ME-WE 4 cable; problems may continue for much longer

Unbelievable..... What next???

 

[kwaggawerner]

I knew it, I felt it in my balls, and it wasn't the lump.... we relied too much on Seacom, too early.

 

[FoRmFacTor]

it is not really unbelievable.

crap happens.

we just got to deal with it.

seacom does not have control over the other cable.

all we can do is be patient.

FRIDAY! Hopefully they are just saying Friday so that when it is fixed earlier we are pleased.

Telkom must enjoy these days as it's not going to last long!

I just topped up my SUX account (SAIX). Oh well lets go see if there is any one on the SOURCE servers..

 

[Afrikali]

There won't be anyone from Seacom I suppose...

I just had a very big WTF moment.

Thread title:

SEACOM explains prolonged downtime

In article:

... that the repair window may be extended to Friday 30 April 2010 for reasons unknown to SEACOM at this point.

Am I just being a bit silly expecting an article that claims that one entity explains an even contains information from said entity explaining said event?

 

[dinkd]

hmm Afrihost have just come back.. getting international now YAY

 

[yeti]

The maintenance and damage is acceptable, but an overall downtime of 5 days? thats a poor turnaround time, regardless of the causation.

What happened to the Seacom redundancy? I would have thought that they had alternative plans in place.
