Undersea internet cable breaks again...

Post by OrangeDragon »

Several Southeast Asian countries, such as Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guam and Philippines, will be experiencing slower internet speeds as one major undersea internet cable breaks again, reports said.

A part of undersea cable called Asia-America Gateway or AAG was reported to have been breached somewhere between Hong Kong and Vietnam earlier last week and is still under repair.

According to the reports, cable operators from different countries will gather to repair it and is expected to be completed by next month.

The restoration works on the AAG submarine cable is said to begin on September 29, and takes a week to finish, subject to weather and sea conditions.

“Repair progress can be slowed down by unstable weather,” Vietnam’s FPT Telecom General Director Nguyen Van Khoa noted.

Doesn't seem to affect Digi - although, given their patchy speeds, it would be hard to tell. Normally when it starts to rain heavily we go through a half-dozen resets. I occasionally get apology texts from them.

Most people don't realize that in this time of satellites that we depend on undersea cables. Years ago I did a stint working on a research ship for Honeywell Corp. We were testing top secret equipment that could detect broken buried undersea cables at great depth. This is more than likely what they are using to find this break.

Satellites have shitty shitty latency problems when it comes to real time communications. Space is really really far away.
