Seacom cable network successfully repaired (23 April 2013)

Well thanks Seacom. Glad to hear all back to normal.

Now if only Mweb would stop shaping torrents.
 
Seacom damaged reputation - irreparable.


Although that doesn't really matter I guess.

We've already got three "cheaper" undersea cables, one on a fully redundant path around West Africa and we still get these things. The problem is the inability for full restoration by the redundant paths automatically and rapidly. WACS and SEACOM/EASSY should have the capability to take each others load at short notice instead of the hacking together of patches via other Mediterranean cables that were over-full.

I don't think that switching circuits is as easy as pressing the reset button on your home router.
