Seacom != Reliability
Probably the most unreliable submarine cable service in the world.
 
Latest update:

SEACOM has completed reprioritization and reallocation of capacity for our customers during today. At this time, SEACOM has provided full or partial restoration services to 90% of customers who require them.

The SEACOM team continues to work hard to source further capacity to re-establish full restoration.
 
this is the cause of the problem. Since Seacom uses the sea-me-we cable for connection to europe

Egyptian navy captures divers trying to cut undersea internet cables

Egyptian internet users have been suffering patchy speeds for the last week, but telecoms officials had been blaming this on damage to the cable caused by shipping. It now seems that accidental damage may not have been the cause.

No reason for the attempt was given and the identities of those under arrest have not been released as yet. They now face interrogation as to their motivation.

The cable in question has been named as the South East Asia Middle East Western Europe 4 (SEA-ME-WE 4), the same line that was damaged in 2008 by a ship's anchor. That outage cut traffic to the country by 75 per cent and had knock-on effects in the Middle East and India.
 
LOL ... "Restored but problems remain" ..... that's like saying "it's fixed but it's still broken". EISH !!!! This is stifling South African internet businesses second to none.
