The Asia-America Gateway (AAG) is a 20,000-kilometre (12,000 mi) long submarine communications cable system, connecting South-East Asia with the USA mainland, across the Pacific Ocean via Guam and Hawaii.
Lately , the cable was broken and cause massive slowdowns in some parts in Asia,including Malaysia.The AAG (Asia America Gateway) cable system connecting Vung Tau – a coastal city in southern Vietnam – and Hong Kong broke near the latter’s coast at 11:41 pm on Monday.Many UniFi users may encounter slow connection to US based server .TMConnects also post a tweet on this incident.
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.
