Where is my Internet !! DAMN YOU EGYPT

January 30, 2008

yes Blame Egypt for it

Theregister

A spokesman for Flag Telecom, the owner of the severed cable, told the Reg: “It is a problem off the coast of Alexandria in Egypt. For some reason ships were asked to anchor in a different place to normal - 8.3km from the beach. One of the ship’s anchors cut our cable but there are multiple cuts - we’re not the only company having problems.”

He said they were in the process of getting a repair ship out to assess the damage but he warned the whole process could take 12 to 15 days even though the ship was in the Med. He said users in India would have a slower internet access as a result.

Flag is one of the major Bandwidth provider in this part of the world , and in Kuwait we depend on it a lot
so expect slow internet for a while
