In Asia, country like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Italy, Tunisia, Algeria, and France are affected on slow internet connection since 22nd December 2008, last year, which I’ve mentioned about slow internet connection which were in fixing progress. But things weren’t what we expected, four cable were cuts over the holiday season severely impacted Internet performance between Europe and Asia, while a subsequent cut on another section of the SEA ME WE 4 is expected to delay repairs until this week, operators and news agencies have reported.

According to France Telecom, SEA ME WE 3, SEA ME WE 4, and Reliance’s Flag were cut on the 19th of December under the Mediterranean between Sicily and Tunisia, on sections connecting Sicily to Egypt. While the original cuts on SEA ME WE 4, Flag and Go-1 have been repaired over the period by both FranceTelecom and Reliance, the latest incident involving a second cut on the SEA ME WE 4 system is expected to be completed sometime this week, after which the cable ship will move to repair the damage on SEA ME WE 3, reports said.
