Internet Slowdown in India and MiddleEast

Two underwater telecommunications cables were damaged Wednesday in the Mediterranean Sea. Sketchy reports say that it was probably caused by the anchor of ships that had drag and then cut the cables.

Estimates say that it may take over a week to restore the service as there is a current weather disturbance in the area. This internet outage has a severe impact on Indian call centers similar to what happened to the Philippines when an undersea earthquake hit undersea cables and cut the links to the US.
