<<Internet and phone communications between Europe, the Middle East, and Asia have been seriously disrupted after submarine cables were severed.
It is thought the FLAG FEA, SMW4, and SMW3 lines, near the Alexandria cable station in Egypt, have all been cut.
A fault was also reported on the GO submarine cable 130km off Sicily. >>
<<The cause of the break is as yet unknown, although some seismic activity was reported near Malta shortly before the cut was detected.
Subsea cables to Malta
A second subsea cable to Malta is currently being laid
In a statement released in relation to one of the breaks, France Telecom said: "The causes of the cut, which is located in the Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunisia, on sections linking Sicily to Egypt, remain unclear." >>
Anyone else think this isn't coincidence? |
That sucks! I'm in Egypt...
It took me about 1-3 minutes to open blogoscoped, depending on the time if there're lots of people trying to use the net or not.
Thank god, I use GMail and GReader it's fast in comparison to most of other sites. |
That sucks :(
*Sends comfort* |
Microsoft probably did it. |
Well, here they say it's a political thing.
3 cables have been cut at the same time!! |
