3 of 4 undersea cables severed

Bloomberg reports that 3 undersea cables were severed in the Mediterranean (between Italy and Egypt). This may inadvertently affect some outsourcing contracts and work being done in Asia. The cuts affects Brunei to some degree … since it’s the FLAG, SEAMEWE4 and SEAMEWE3 cables that are affected.

From the article:

The rerouting slowed some traffic to about half its normal speed, Laughlin said. Point-to-point customers still don’t have connections, and Verizon doesn’t have information on how many subscribers are affected. The company expects repairs to be completed by early next week, she said.
