Small update.... TIMEDOTCOM connections to Europe are still bad:

Frankfurt:


Amsterdam:

"Internet to East Africa is severely impaired. All sub-sea capacities between East Africa and South Africa are down. 3 cable cuts in Red Sea that is Seacom, EIG and AAE1 remain unrepaired" Ben said in a post on social media platform X.

According to the latest reports, the cable problems have had a severe impact on internet users in Kenya and Tanzania with social media posts suggesting a near total internet blackout in some areas. Rwanda, Uganda and Madagascar also appear to be affected.

This is the second time Africa has experienced a major fibre cut this year. In March, a suspected underwater rock slid off the coast of Cote d'Ivoire resulting in several submarine cables being offline. The cables included Africa Coast to Europe, Submarine Atlantic 3 and the West Africa Submarine Cable. The outage impacted 13 African countries located on the West African seaboard, causing either degraded services or near-total internet outages

Fresh damage to undersea cables that supply African countries with the internet has raised new fears about the continent’s network vulnerabilities. The damage marks the third widespread disruption since the start of the year.

Internet users in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda reported different levels of disruption between Sunday and Monday following cuts to two submarine cables, EASSy (East Africa Submarine System) and Seacom. The breaks also caused disruptions in Mozambique, Malawi, and Madagascar, according to Cloudflare, a US internet data company.

Hey guys, happy I just stumbled upon this thread. I'm working remotely in Msia trying to connect to EU servers, it's impossible to complete the handshakes to my VPN and now I think I understand why

undersea cable broken? even lwyt also slow

And another update from my side; still all connections from/to Europe baaaad 
My most stable option in terms of latency over the past weeks was a VPN through Mexico City

Amsterdam:


Previous update:

yesterday european websites were unusable without a VPN. Most websites were not loading at all and simple ping tests were dropping most of the paquets, what a disaster...

30/05/2024 18:00 : Here is the breakdown of the affected routes and their estimated time of repair (ETR):
a. Marseille to Singapore: Multiple links are impacted, with updated ETRs on 1st June, 25th June and 7th July
b. Marseille to Hong Kong: ETR is set 25th June
c. San Jose to Tokyo: ETR is set End of May
d. Osaka to Singapore: ETR is set End of May
e. Tokyo to Hong Kong: Two links are affected. ETR for one of the links is End of May 2024 and for the other link no ETR yet

15/05/2024 | 13:00 : We’re aware that a handful of users may have recently experienced slower connections, especially when accessing servers in the Europe and US. This is due to multiple subsea cable cuts impacting various regions, including Europe, the US, and Asia. These fiber breaks have affected our upstream provider’s partners (Telia, Telstra, NTT) and resulted in higher latency and potential connection drops when connecting to these destinations.

It’s important to note that overall connection experiences for other regions should not be significantly impacted.

Unfortunately, the situation is more complex than initially anticipated. Due to several fiber segments being affected, the estimated time of restoration for full functionality has been extended to June 12th, 2024. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this extended outage may cause.

We are actively working with our upstream providers to expedite repairs and will provide further updates as soon as a revised restoration timeline becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
