The cable has encountered frequent breaks and outages since its ready for service in late 2009. Most of the outages are located at the intra-Asia segments between Hong Kong and Singapore, while the segment between Hong Kong and the Philippines seems to have less problems. The segments between the Philippines and the U.S. are quite stable.
On July 15, 2014 the segment at Vung Tau, Vietnam, 18 km off the coast of the city central was damaged and the internet bandwidth to international destinations was disrupted.Few days ago,they faces this issue again and whole country has to depend on the land cable.
Repairs are expected to take longer than usual as Hong Kong is being hit by typhoon Kalmaegi.
#UPDATE Repairs to a ruptured international telecom cable won’t finish until October 6 since bad weather has hampered the work, an Internet provider said.

he actually brought back a few cables last few days....
Im not suprise if the cable consortium one day decides to stop putting up with all the frequent breaks and outages that happen near hk segment then build the link segment to serve as main route to carry SEA-US traffic bypassing natural disasters prone area near hongkong region entirely
